    Yes , it is a press fit and you can usually press them together with just your fingers , or a pair of pliers if the plates are out of the distributor . Sometimes the ball bearings between the two plates can use a little grease . If the plates don't want to stay together you might be able to crimp something a little bit for a better fit but they have to be free enough to turn on the bearings .

    Good detective work .

    I am looking at a Pin Point Parts Specifier for Dodge trucks . For the WC 1941 - 1947 a four speed transmission was an available option . The mounting holes in the bell housing were different for the 4 speed as mentioned .

    MZ 4062 was used in a 1940 Dodge car model D14 or D17 . I don't know if it will work with your 1942 vehicle .

    If you find a blown head gasket be sure to completely drain and replace the coolant , not just drain it down far enough to do the job . The coolant will have become acidic . A sign of a blown head gasket can be bubbles showing in the top of the radiator when the engine is running , and of course white smoke coming out of the exhaust .

    " What do you think ? " I think that you did a very nice job .

    I don't know if this will help or not . In my Auto-Lite catalog that goes up to 1951 , The starter for 1942 WC truck is MZ 4115 . The starter for 1942 D22 and D23 cars is MAW 4026 . The MZ 4115 was also in the 1945 WC and in some of the 1946 & 1947 WC trucks .

    There is a TC = 1939 1/2 ton , No RC . Nothing else in 1939 with an R or a C . There is a 1938 RC = 1/2 ton .

    You could fabricate one in wood or cardboard before you commit to steel .

    Weep hole is correct . When the pump goes bad it will weep there . Or elsewhere .

    Wow Ed ! Sometimes I wished that I had three arms like you have when working on some stuff .

    If you have the common short rubber oil line , they are available on ebay . Some guys have their replacement flex line made up locally . The other steel lines are the same as the common brake lines sold in auto parts stores . There is one unusual fitting that is often found where the line screws into the gauge .

    Yes , you are right of course . This problem with sealing has nothing that reflects on Charlie or his supplied parts . Only on the parts supplied by others . NAPA in this case .

    Bump . I used information in this old thread to solve my problem . I too put on a disk brake kit from Charlie and had one leaking hose to caliper fitting . I annealed three copper washers and used two of them between the hose banjo fitting and the rebuilt caliper , and one under the banjo bolt head . ( so one extra washer ) . I also tightened the banjo bolt much tighter than I thought would be necessary . I also used just a little , thick , anti-seize compound on the surface of the used caliper where the copper washer must seal . And yes I know that no sealer should be used here but desperate situations require desperate measures .

    There might be a UTUBE video on headliner installation . I was once uneasy about cutting two holes in my roof for attic vents . After a couple of videos , I was looking forward to the job .

    Recaps .

    I have seen this done a long time ago . The machine took off a lot of rubber and the customer was watching and didn't look very happy .

    Penetrating oil and light hammer taps ?

    The three photos are from a 1938 - 1939 dodge truck service manual . In the one photo the guy is moving the rear door edge down at the bottom by placing the wooden block near the top . To move the rear door edge up , the block of wood would be placed near the bottom of the front door and applying pressure as if to close the door .

    I email the seller on ebay and here is his response ; An OEM clip is typically riveted to the clip leaf. The quick clip style replacements are held in place purely by pressure. A C-clamp is used to tighten them down before the ears are folded over. A small piece of rubber is also recommended to go between the bottom of the clip and the leaf to isolate it from vibration, which can cause it to come loose over time. Hope this helps.
  22. Jerry Roberts
    What keeps the replacement leaf spring clips in position ? The original retainers look like they have a rivet going into a leaf to hold them in place . It seems as though the replacements could just slide or work down the spring to a more loose position .
  23. Jerry Roberts
    Or if you explain the non-stock shackle to them , they might be nice and allow you to return the new springs . It doesn't hurt to ask .

    Parts squirting out of the wheel cylinder , as shown in your photo , and air in the system .
