JVL

Does anyone know of a place that sells drums for a 1935 Dodge coupe ? Thanks. 

I have a 1953 Dodge Pilot house and want to ad a 1955/ Red Ram Poly 270 cu inch v8. The engine is in great running condition with. motor mounts and trans. The problem is the trans is a Powerflite 2 speed. My question is will the 3 speed manual trans that I currently have bolt up to the V8 . Help please. Thank you 

Bob, where did you get your drag links at ?

Have you changed out the drag link (it does not have replaceable tie-rod ends)?  When the steering in my '53 got sloppy, the drag link was the primary culprit.

 

Lay under the truck and have someone move the steering wheel from side to side while you watch the pitman arm and how the drag link and tie rods respond.  Doing this made it fairly easy to spot slop in the system.  After I had the slop removed (new drag link), I moved on to adjusting the steering box.

 

BTW, the drag links are not cheap.  I have considered taking my old one to a machine shop and having them modify it to use tie rod ends.

Hello, does anymore know of a reasonable place to buy brake shoes for a 53 B-3.  1/2 ton. Thanks. 

I bought my replacement glass from Bob's Classic Auto Glass. They have several different selections. You can get it, clear , green tinted of smoke tinted. The price was reasonable as well. 

Thanks. I've bought a few items from DCM. I'm just really worried about how hard the seals are to put in. I think I may have Safelite do my windshield.

With the above link I was attempting to teach JVL to fish rather than just handing him a fish.

Thanks Reg, the link was very helpful. I'm not really to familiar with the flatheads, I grew up on B and E body mopars. I wanted to know the engine size, for the purpose of resell. I originally wanted to go with a red ram hemi, but couldn't pass up the deal I got on the 318 w/trans.

I purchased new door windows for my 53 Pilot house. I have the vent door  windows. Has anyone replaced  door windows before ? Recommendations on where to buy seals ? I see that DCM sells them. How hard is it to replace ? Thanks.

D19 is 1941 and will be a 218

Thanks, I purchased a 77 model 318, w/360 heads and trans out of a PU to put in it.  I'm going with a Dakota IF front frame with front and rear coil overs.

I did some research on my engine and I believe it's a car engine. The numbers start with. d instead of a T. How can I tell what size and year it is ?  Thanks.
