Just got a copy of the build record for my truck (attached). Does anyone know what size the original was and what type of paper they used? I'm trying to decipher the drive (LRD), model (T13), use eng. symbol (E-149), body type (COWL), axle ratio (5/4), wheels-tires---size and ply (DL.DISC 6.00X20-6GDYR.), paint code (RED.), and extra equipment (INQ. I3463 B. CARR AUX SPRINGS DUP.CLNR. CHROME F. BUMPER, RAD & HDLIGHTS.). LRD = ? model = T13 [T13 is the first part of the motor number (T13-7512), T = truck, T13: Make = Dodge Truck, Model = KH 16-18V, KH 21-23V, KH 31-33-V; T-13 is also part of the engineering cod (T-13-E), T = truck, 23” long, 201 ci] eng. symbol = E-149 = ?

CARR = ? extra equipment = AUX SPRINGS = ? extra equipment = DUP.CLNR. = ? extra equipment = CHROME F. BUMPER = chrome front bumper (?) which it has extra equipment = RAD & HDLIGHTS. = radiator and headlights = ? thanks, -- Brian

I'd like to get some assistance (and double checking) of the truck and engine information for my 1935 KH-32 V: body tag: B-3-0-LR15988 B-3-0 = cab for a chassis cowl KH-32V (mid size truck with just the sheet metal from the dash forward, no windshield) 15988 = sequential number in B-3-0 sequence build date: between June and October 1935 engine numbers casting date: 8-12 = August 12, 1935???? casting number (is this the correct term?): 882929-2 = ???? engine number (left side of engine block, at front, below the cylinder head): T-13-7512 T = truck engine T13: Make = Dodge Truck, Model = KH 16-18-V, KH 21-23-V, KH31-33-V Year = 1935 512th engine built???? lower casting (is this the correct term?): 107 = ???? engineering code: T-13-E T = truck, 23" long, 201 ci E = 1-1/2 ton serial number: 8239904

Thanks. I have a 1935 truck and I'm using non-ethanol gas. All of the manuals I have say .025". I have points so should I set the gap to .032"? thanks, -- Brian

Thanks. I bought Autolites but I gapped them at .025" as per the manual. Should I adjust them to .035"?

I have a 35 Dodge truck. thanks, -- Brian

Can someone assist me in decoding the engine in my 1935 Dodge Truck (model KH-32V): engine number: T13-7512 casting date: 8-12 number on lower casting: 107 block casting (?): 882929-2 The body tag number is B-3-0-LR15988, the engineering code is T-13-E (I believe this means it's a 201 in^3), and the serial number is 8239904. I'm trying to determine what spark plug replacements to get. The manual says S9 and there are J-8s in the truck now. I believe it's a cast iron flathead. thank you, -- Brian

Thanks! As I fill the gas tank, I’m getting a change in resistance at both the sending unit and at the wire that goes to the dash (and the numbers match). The wire from the ignition switch to the fuel gauge has a star lock washer, but the one from the sending unit does not. I’ll clean up the bolts and add new star lock washers.

Agree. Any recommendations for how to do that? There is one wire coming from the sending unit. How do I ground it? And how do I group the dash unit? Do I add an extra ground wire? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I think the dash fuel gauge needs to be grounded properly. Is it grounded when installed in the dash or do I need to add a separate grounding wire (there isn't a separate wire there now)? Will the grounding be affected by the rusty bolts and nuts on the gauge?

Does anyone have a fuel gauge for a 1935 Dodge Truck? Or have suggestions as to who might have one?
