The worst part on the panel truck are the back doors . I dont know what he was as thinking. I will be attempting to fix this .
-
When I purchased the truck I thought it was a 1950 . The truck was registered as a 1952 . When checking the vin also looked like a 52. I have found a 25 inch for $250 complete haven't checked it out yet says it ran good .my truck did have a 3 speed on the floor. Should the bell housing and clutch bolt up ? I also got an email from some one that has a D400 59 or 60 he is not sure of motor size but says it runs good. Haven't contacted him yet. Will be checking the 25 inch this weekend .

I think he's talking about the front motor mount harp . How about the oil pan clearing the I beam ? I have an electric fan I could use. Maybe I should look for a 218 motor for a truck . Thanks
-
Will have to look into it further , can't remember how much space there was between the cross member and the pulley or the oil pan and the I beam . Thanks

I have a 52 Dodge panel truck that had a 218 23-inch Flathead 3 speed on the floor. If I found a 25 inch flathead 3 speed on the floor , would the bell housing and transmission bolt up ? Would the only issue be it would be 2 inches closer to the radiator? I'm guessing the exhaust and intake wouldn't fit ? My 218 was frozen and in tough shape. I think it would cost to much to rebuild . Thanks Dave

Grease and gunk...so much cleaning...

I have used foaming oven cleaner . Spray in on let it sit for a while scrub and rinse. -
If you go to a heavy duty truck supplier they have a catalog for blower motors. There is all shapes and sizes with measurements.

I have a 52 Dodge panel truck which I am having the same problem with the passenger door lock I got the rear door lock out. I drilled out the center of the lock and now use a square shank screwdriver which I cut the tip off and use as a key. Works for now till I get locks. Dave

Boy is that a sweet looking motor ! I also noticed the rear bumper on the frame . Looks cool !
-
Just thought about it I think that would bring it further away what was I thinking. Dave
-
Just wondering could you put a spacer behind the flywheel to bring it out a little bit more? I think I might have the same issue. Dave
-
Wow you guys know everything ! It is in good shape it's just a decoration right now never gave it any thought. Thanks Dave

I have had this since the 70s . It was given to my father I dont know when . Not sure if it is a dealer item or an after-market novelty.

What about the Hollywood Knights . Great car movie.

Wow ! That sure looks great, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side ! ?

Back in the early eighties this was my party van!

Hello Dave from Rhode Island here,dont know if the panel truck will be road ready by then. There is The Newport Auto Museum on the way out of R.I. They do have a few Mopars there. You might be able to get a group rate.
-
I really enjoy reading all the technical advice and ideas everyone has . I only wish some of you lived in my neighborhood. Dave ?
-
That looks familiar, mine looks just like that . It should look like this but I'm waiting fo a motor.
-
Thanks Jeff hopefully will be driving it this summer
-
Thanks if I thought if it was to be really cold I could always hang something behind the seats so the area in front would be easier to heat. Dave

This is one of my other rides. The picture is about 10 years old . Bought the bike new in 2003 . The bike still looks the same can't say the same about the 2 of us ! Lol

I live in Rhode Island where it was only 15° this morning. I have it apart looking for a blower motor for it now. I have seen one on Ebay that looks like it can work. The heater core needs to be tested hopefully ok. Dave
-
Thanks for your help will try that. Doors work taken apart and primed, heater core looks ok Will test that too.
-
The truck does have two hoses coming down from the defroster that could hook up to the back of the heater . but the four wires I'm not sure which would be power or ground or if the unit is grounded.
