I thought so, I'll do a compression and leak down test to confirm more.

Got her home late late last night, a blowing snow storm coming through Denver did not help with the ETA. Last fuel stop! It has this PTO driven, I am guessing hydraulic pump, not sure what for, no bed lift, bed is also not attached to the frame. These were a nice find, they were not shown in any of the engine photos I saw. Another interior light, mine does not have the switch! Grill guards and a very nice set of grill trim (the rest is in the cab along with a nice ornament. The body is extremely straight, this is the only dent I have found. Curious, is it normal for the flatbed/duallies to have 20inch wheels? my express box truck has 16's, (also got two extra wheel/tire combos). All in all, happy with the purchase, almost got home before the snow and this I have never seen, the title shows the original sales price/MSRP!

Well I really need this like a hole in the head, or as little Johnny McCormick at Wright Tree Service used to say, if you had half a brain that be all you'd have! But for $1,000 a running truck with a fairly good set of grill bars hood ornament and bumper guards couldn't turn it down. Just an 8-hour road trip up to Wyoming. Upon further inspection I noticed it has the hard to find dual horns, interior light I don't know what else I'll find when I get home. Attached is the Facebook ads and some pictures. 1948 B-1-D DUALLY.pdf

In Colorado; (1) In addition to any other registration, the department may approve use of the style of original plates from the vehicle's year of manufacture for motor vehicles valued principally because of the vehicles' early date of manufacture, design, or historical interest or valued as collector's items. Original plates must meet the following criteria in order to qualify for use under this section: (a) The plates were made at least thirty years prior to registration under this section; (b) The plates are embossed with the year of original issue; (c) The plates are legible; (d) The plates were issued contemporaneously with the year of manufacture of the vehicle upon which they are displayed, as determined by the department; and (e) The plates do not exceed seven characters. (2) A person shall not drive the vehicle bearing the original plates except as authorized in section 42-12-301 (5). (5) A person may drive a motor vehicle with the special registration plates authorized by this section or section 42-12-302 on the streets and highways, but only: (a) To and from assemblies, conventions, or other meetings where such vehicles and their ownership are the primary interest; (b) On special occasions, for demonstrations and parades; (c) On occasions when the operation of the vehicle on the streets and highways will not constitute a traffic hazard; and (d) To, from, and during local, state, or national tours held primarily for the exhibition and enjoyment of such vehicles.

Waiting for sheetrock mud to dry, playing on the computer, had an old screen shot of the mailer card for the 'CA Year Tag' from eBay. Decided to make a mock-up of one, need some heavier kraft paper for the final, also making the plate envelope, why? Why not, killing time!

No this vehicle has been legally registered in California as non-operational since 1987 with original 1947 plates and a 1948 tag, I only just recently purchased those for wall hangers, bought one, like the quality so I bought a second so I have a pair just like on the vehicle.

This is from Plymouth: The First Decade written by our very own @TodFitch "Several other states have YOM laws. Check the details for your state which are very likely to be different than California’s. For example, in California a YOM plate is effectively the same as a “vanity plate” and there is yearly fee for it in addition to the regular registration. Because you are paying “full fare” on registration the state places no driving limits (but your collector car insurance company might)."

Here at home, this is the only document I have regarding CA plates, might have more at work. It is vague at best on the required number of tags.

That may be, I'm not really positive on that one, I do know when I did jump through all their hoops to do year of manufacture (YOM) registration, I did have to have two plates physically in my hand to show the person behind the desk.

I also have a set of Re-Pop CA Plates, need one more 48 tag.

Calif. does, may be restrictions, not sure, I'm in CO but registered (non-Op) in Calif. One day they will be on the truck!

Finding little to no information out there......... Arrow Gear Company or Arrow PTO were once making PTO's in Broken Arrow, OK around 1945 through the late 50 or 60's. Arrow Gear Co was then sold to the Sacks Co, around 1960 (plus or minus) and is now known as Arrow Gear for the aerospace industry. Once sold Sacks and then Arrow Gear quit making PTO's and tossed information and parts...so information and parts are limited.

BEST I could find....... .....with help I have friends in low places - Chevy Owners!

Likewise, my 50 CJ3A had no belts, an 'oh crap' handle for the passenger and the wheel for me. Also had a Vortec V6 and an Overdrive bolted to the original 3 speed, got scary now and again!

Might look into that, I thing the VPW folks sell them, I also have 3 used originals to look over.

Good Deal! Sounds Great! Need to get back on mine this Summer, after a Kitchen, partial Bath and Utility Closet remodel this Winter. When I left off, it was a failed (NEW) oil pump. ?

This may help a bit; Bruce Horkey's Wood and Parts Mar-K (No Dimensions) Maybe call

I would go the 'heat cool - heat cool' first, maybe with the welded nut, without the proper breaking of the rust, you risk a broken stud, heat is your friend here. I still prefer a good'ol stud remover, down as close as possible to the base. In my "never to be humble" opinion ?
