  1. My father and his side of the family were in the Ford and Dodge business their whole life. I found a few old photos that I feel should be appreciate by this group of Dodge enthusiasts. These and many others were found in my father and grandfather's things.

  2. Hello All, I have been a registered member here for a while but mostly lurk and/or search older posts for information. I thought I would finally contribute a little bit to the forum by posting a photo of my truck hauling our Christmas tree this year. Everyone like pictures of old Dodge trucks, right?

  3. Yes sir. I am a firm believer that old trucks (and old men) should keep working, just not quite so hard as when young!

  4. I thought a block of wood qualified as a parking brake and a boat anchor chained to the frame was an emergency brake...

  5. If you cannot find a original e-brake cable maybe try these guys that make new cables to your needs and lengths/ end/connections style- just probably will not not look original- but will work perfectly if that is what you really want? DJ https://www.cccables.com/

  7. I used to have a chock on a rope in my ‘54 truck for my sloped driveway at my old house- I’d park it in gear but to crank up I’d put it in neutral then roll back onto the chock. Once it was warmed up I’d drive a couple inches up, open the door and reel in the chock with my foot on the brake and go! Ha!

  8. I have an old delco shock catalog and did some looking and the rear shock is the same that was used on the Desoto, Chrys, Dodge and Plymouth from 37 and up. so knowing this the same Monroe shock 3100 which is a rear shock will work for your car. Rich Hartung desoto1939@aol.com

  9. "Sign Of the Times"... I read today that a song I've heard on the radio since a youngster, (now an oldster , passed 75), and that I've heard played on the radio this time of year as long as I can remember, (recorded by Doris Day and Bing Crosby), the song "Baby It's Cold Outside" apparently now has been judged as inappropriate and unfit for airplay on the radio...?

  10. Goodness triumphed today. I had poured diesel down the bores and let it soak, applied pressure forward and back at the flywheel over last few days and finally there was movement. Looks like it was definitely weather seized, corrosion at the rings. All moving nicely now!

  11. yes...the shocks are sold by compressed, extended and shock end mounting styles.....along with other build qualities....gas, air etc etc...again, the Monroe site should be of help....seems more and more parts suppliers are inching their way upward in parts covered instead of retain their old parts applications online...did not mean to mislead you on this.... this I think has been on this forum before and I think a quick search should net a set of numbers that would be quite at home....else....maybe a brother in ownership can chime in...

  12. if you making the mounts, placing them in the same position...use stock application....you can probably get the shock number from the online Rock Auto, local big box and or cross your number on your present shock...if all else fails, the Monroe site will get you on the right track...

  13. The screw Casper showed is a lag screw I would say is used for wood not steel. The Dodge screw los pictured has a different square thread to fit the clips. Two completely different screws pictured.

  14. Just wanted to pass along a big 'Thank You' to Plymouthy Adams for his time and patience with the info he has PM'd to me on tackling floors and rocker panels. I was getting 'cut happy' on taking out too much at one time. His info gave me a process to work with and many points to consider along the way. I will post pics on the results in the coming weeks.

  15. Looks like a lag screw to me. I don’t think it’s an original dodge screw.
