Lowes has a kit for wood graining that looks like it might really work good for old car dashes.

I bought a pack of photograph paper for my printer and printed pictures from computer taht look like they were developed and enlarged.

I was told I need about 13 teeth. Where would I find something like that?

I went from 410 to 321 in my dodge truck and my speedo reads about 15 mph low.

Harvey good job. You showed mine and left yours out. Made mine look better.

I tried a rearend out of a 50 ply. The splines were different from my 53 1/2 ton but I suspect the reaeend in Ply had been swapped to a later model.

Saw it at a cruise in Rockaway Beach. Beautiful car. -
Looks like the same one that was offered at the branson auction Sat. I went out for a minute and didn't see if it sold or how much.

Remove the inner fender on passenger side ad you can take sidecovers off.

In the 50,s canadian dodges had plymouth rearend an plymouth had dodge rearend. Maybe they did this with desoto and plymouth too. My brother has a picture of a 56 dodge with plymouth rearend that we saw in canada when we were young car nuts.

As long as you can get the pan off it,s easy. You can loosen bearings and remove a cap and slide the old out off the crank put new in the same way. If you have access to valve grinder you can do the valves too. Take caps off pistons and push them up from below. Put on ring compressor and tap them down in clyinders. Be careful not to scratch journals with the rod bolts. I have done this several times.

Harvey, be sure and check the amount of spines on the axles to be sure it will work.

I had to time my 53 on #6 cylinder.
-
I found one but the axle splines were different. Used a 3:21 out of 73 Dodge picktp. Had to move the mounts a little but really made a differenc in driving.

New issue of Old Cars Weekly has a 50 business coupe for sale in NJ 33,000 miles former museum piece.Looks great in picture. $8500 sounds like a good buy. -
Only had to move the spring mounts a little. Rearend I got didn't have brake drums so I bought new drums, wheel cylinders and return spring set. Have about $150 in it. brakes are bigger and easier to adjust. Universal was same size.

I just put a 3.21 rearend out of 73 dodge pickup in my B4B. I have 235-75-15 radial tires. Runs and handles great. Now I can BUZZ down the road. Only trouble is I have no idea how fast I am buzzing because speedometer is so far off. Does anyone know if I could put speedometer gear out of any Dodge or Plymouth in my transmission?

In the early 60s in Navy at san diego went to Julian every now and then. Neat place. Also went dragraces at Ramona which I think was up in that area.
-
I got a 3.21 out of a 73 dodge pickup. The width is real close. Ihave the old mounts off, I will use the ones off my rearend. Hoping it works out real good for highway use.
-
I got mine at the glass shop that cut my glass. 2$ a foot in my area. I had some I ordered from Andy or one of those guys. This is way beter without the metal in it.

A guy in our area chopped a 50 merc and made a 4 door hardtop, it really looks good. Also has a 50 merc 4 dr sedan chopped and a 53 ply 4 door. Runs 460 Fords in all of them, daily drivers.
