FlashBuddy

Garrett Wade. Looks to be mostly wood working tools. https://www.garrettwade.com/hand-forged-iron-wall-hooks.html I ordered the medium sized. Product 89A05.06. They had a promotion where you also get a free utility led flashlight. Be sure to request that

Got new rubber seals glued on, awesome. Moving right along, got both the passenger and driver's door glass replaced. Those little clips attaching the glass bottom bracket to the mechanism were a mystery since you can't see them or how they attach, but Alec came over and showed me the light. My box-o-seals had window channel and sweeps - got the channel in but not a fan of the sweeps and may buy new from VPW. Taking a break but in the meantime found some hand forged tie down hooks for $8 each - pretty stoked.

Hang in there and let us know how you make out.

Do you have the carb floatadjusted correctly?

Enquiring minds want to know?! I read somewhere that you broke yer crank; sounds painful.

Ouch! You should have heat tempered it. Oh wait, you did! I'll keep my eyes peeled for a replacement for you.

Hey vikingminer49r, I couldn't get much out of Gary in the way of a history for the truc, in fact I got conflicting stories. I recall the "Barn Find" part. He had marked the price down to $4,500.00 after having no luck selling at a couple car shows he hauled it to. I was going to offer $3,500.00 but instead explained I'd give him full price if he would trailer it down to my place in Fort Collins. He said; "Yes"! Gary Thompson | Montrose, CO | 2017 I appreciate seeing your photos (snagged them for my truck history folder). A trip up to your place could be a great fall adventure!

Hey old man, how did you miss the 1950 b2b over at Gary's in Montrose? Glad you missed it so I could snap her up. I see you snagged a couple Dodges from Martin's. Amazes me how many Dodge bones are scattered around that yard. And south in Erie, sweet grove of Dodges too. One or two still have complete sets of stainless grill bars. I'll have to drive up to Paonia before I die and say hello.

Wow, that is some fancy paint job. Talk about yer mirror finish. Now get after those wide whites!

Arvin, a popular dealer installed accessory.

In my case, it started and ran fantastic, but terrible stumbling with the clutch out and stepping into the gas. Had a blast rebuilding the carb - so easy and fun because it made me feel like a real mechanic that afternoon ? End result was the hesitation was completely gone. If anyone needs to rebuild the carb, do it in the kitchen when your wife is out ?

I'm stuck at: " ...remove the stop screws in the glass lower channel and unhook the window lift rollers from the glass lower channel". I don't see no stinkin' screws! Am I blind?

Rifle Colorado, been there! The view is to the north, and part of the Grand Hogback is seen in the distance. Date: 24 March 2017. Photo by Jeffrey Beall The city of Rifle gets its name from a local story, that a trapper had once left his rifle along a creek in the region; from then on, the city has been known as Rifle. See if you can spot your truck?!

That will buff out. ?

Those must be formed plastic vs. vinyl covered board, right?

Be sure to post an update.

Not tall enough ?

Thanks Mark. Sounds fun. Bought the epoxy putty on Amazon. Can't wait to get started.

Fill the cracks? What how did you accomplish that?

It's a Fresno CA thing.

Great tip and video. For others the video is here > I looked at a lot of door seals today trying to figure how to glue them on and still just winged it. Masking tape works great at holding them in place while the glue dries. I only did the driver's side so I'll get another chance if I did 'em backwards.

Had Fort Collin's oldest glass shop, Blacks Glass, use my original windshield plates for templates and provided me with perfect matching new glass pieces. With my wife and son in the cab holding the glass and rubber up to the cab cutout, I managed to use the rope trick to pull the rubber seal over the outside flange. The rope was going to tear my seal in the corners so I used a plastic piece to coax it along. with new glass I am no longer blinded when driving into a sunrise or sunset. That old glass was so pitted it made for blinding glare when facing into the sun, or headlights on the highway. Also nice was getting the trim pieces cleaned up and repainted. Finally getting around to replacing the various rubber bits 'n strips. I found a box of rubber trim pieces on Facebook Marketplace for $200. Negotiated down to $100 ☺️ I was told they should fit a '50 Dodge truck. Also in the box was a new floormat and pad. The floormat was a perfect fit. There also were two rubber pads that fit the toor handles, what looks like rear and corner window seals, window channels et. One long rubber strip looks to be suitable for the door opening in the cab so that will go on next. Notice last owner resprayed onto the door rubber, along with other rubbers here and there.

That is the gravel chute.

I thought split rings were widow makers?

The saying goes; Old fishermen never die, they just get a new peterbuilt!
