Stolen from Facebook 'Route 66 Postcards'

This was om the firewall, engine bay, passenger side top, the last 4 of the VIN (4228)

Unfortunately, Colorado is Aspen, Pine, Spruce and Fir, for the most part. It's even hard to find oak fire wood, at least locally where I am. Scrub oak is about it!

I like the idea of treated plywood, for my dulley, I may go that route, was looking at pine, also no one around with hard woods. Also need 10', not 8. For the bed strips, after pricing them from the usual suspects, and getting back up off the floor when I heard the price, I am going with roofing termination bars. It is not a resto, so, just to make it useable.

It is my understanding that THESE are as close to original that have been found, a little pricey, but if it is a restoration.

This is for the Model 504, but may help with hose routing.

If you do go that route, I have the 94 XJ and ZJ Shop Manuals and ZJ Parts List in PDF. Along with other PDFs. Just ask.

The Chrysler 4L straight six is almost bullet proof, I have had several, the last was a 94 ZJ (Grand Cherokee), if you do use it, replace the o-ring behind the oil filter housing/adapter, it is a known week spot. At least while in situ in the Jeep it is a PITA to get at, might not be so bad in an older Dodge.

you might contact Eric Bannerman; Admin of Dodge, Fargo & Desoto Trucks 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 and provide this information, he is very knowledgeable on these engines;

If you post a WTB add and someone responds with a message like this, beware. Red flags are new profile, offering to connect you with a friend who has the specific item you are looking for, email address is toonebee4@gmail.com (or similar). Thought this was worth sharing. I posted on a lawn mower forum and did some research before proceeding. I found THIS SITE, my post is now the last one added.

I am wondering if any one knows at what point the Job Rater Magazine both started and ended for the B1 Series Dodge Trucks? I know it was published bi-monthly (six per year), I think that series started with Volume 2 Number One, but not sure when it ended. I am trying to complete the collection, wonder how many I am missing? Recently found V3 #4 on eBay (posted in download section). I know I am at least missing two, but not sure of the end point, any thoughts?

I think, we all just commend you on the ingenuity and effort for this solution to a problem most would have patched with filler! Waiting for photos!

So sorry to hear about Puma, the grey ones are special!

ON THIS DAY (68 YEARS AGO) October 12, 1955 - Chrysler introduced hi-fidelity record players, mounted under the dashboard in their 1956 model cars. Their seven-inch vinyl discs spun at 16 2/3 RPM. Sets of 35 classical recordings were available that provided 45 to 60 minutes of uninterrupted music for Chrysler drivers. The players were discontinued in 1961. Following is the Chrysler press release introducing the record player: DETROIT - - Highway Hi-Fi, a record player that provides music and speech as you go, has been developed exclusively for the 1956 Chrysler Corporation cars. This novel addition to the pleasures of highway travel, specially designed by CBS Laboratories as an accessory for Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and Imperial, was introduced today at the press preview of Chrysler Corporation's new cars at the company's Engineering Proving Grounds.... Highway Hi- Fi plays through the speaker of the car radio and uses the radio's amplifier system. The turntable for playing records, built for Chrysler by CBS-Columbia, is located in a shock-proof case mounted just below the center of the instrument panel. A tone arm, including sapphire stylus and ceramic pick up, plus storage space for six long-play records make up the unit. Using a new principle of design worked out by CBS Laboratories, the player and position of the stylus on a record are not affected by the angle of a car, its highway speed, or even severe cornering. Tests demonstrate it is extremely difficult to jar the arm off the record or even make the stylus jump a groove. The special records also developed by CBS Laboratories, are seven inches in size, transcribed on both sides, and pressed especially for Chrysler by Columbia Records. They give up to 45 minutes of music and up to one full hour of speech per side, A collection of six disks will be presented to customers with each player.

Well, it was like pulling teeth, but after the third go and 6 months FINALLY got my Year Of Manufacture (YOM) plate registration. They ask for and I quote "a color photo copy of the front and back of the plates", well as the base plate is bare aluminum, it copied like crap. Even, the second time, went to the UPS Store for copies, same result, light green stripes on the plate photo copy. Finally sent actual photos and a description from All About License Plates.com and wa-la, got my registration. Colorado is unfortunately becoming more and more Californicated and just as bad if not worse! What ever - got my regi!
