1948 truck in Victorville
Jerry Roberts replied to Frank Elder's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Those rubber parts on the bumper look like the rubber tread parts that bolt onto a tank tread or an armored personnel carrier tread . -
If the yard isn't too far away , it might be a good idea to pay them a visit . Before you go though , ask if you are allowed inside to look around .

If you thread in a short ( 3/8th inch ) stud with a hole centered , could you now drill a center hole in the old stud using the new stud hole as a guide ? Just a stab in the dark .

Those on the cab of my truck are brass also , the cab is a 1939 dodge truck . I had always wondered if they were home made because of the brass .

# 3 looks like a hinge for the swing out windshield .

When you are ready to re-assemble , put a thin layer of grease on the seal so that you don't have dry seal to metal contact . It could wear out real quick otherwise before the gear oil gets to it . -
This is just a question , because I don't know . It sounds to me like you are talking about increasing the size of the combustion chamber . Doesn't this defeat the purpose of milling the head for greater compression ? If that is the case , why not mill the head only enough to be sure that it is flat .

B-Series factory rear bumper - like front bumper?
Jerry Roberts replied to Jim Gaspard's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Reg , On the last sentence of the listing he says " the bumper is not included in the auction " so I guess he hasn't forgotten you after all . -
I bought one of the heads sold by Vintage Power Wagons and it has DT on it . Perhaps the letters stand for dodge truck .

Here we have a store that sells mostly just bearings , anything under bearings in your phone book yellow pages ?

According to Click & Clack , Gas doesn't mix with sugar , it can just be cleaned out . But sugar DOES mix with water .

Remove and replace .

javascript:void(0); Here is a photo of the Dorman product installed in my engine . It has been in there for 2 years and no problems .

You can't spin the oil pump with a drill on these motors . You can do that on some other makes , perhaps chev .

I have poped out studs by putting the nut on and giving it a wack with a hammer . I put the new stud in with a hammer wack too . Disclaimer ; I don't remember if these were mopars .
-
If you can see the valves closing with the side cover off , then you need to pull the head . Probably just the head gasket as you mentioned . Before you replace the head gasket use a straight edge to see if the surfaces are flat .
-
Here is my guess as to why they have tracer wire ; After you use up all of the primary colors and then you need to mark more wires , how do you mark them ? Tracer wires .

The tallest girl seems to have an infant in a headlock .

I ran across one like that with brackets on top that turned out to be from a military dodge truck .
-
I looked in a Motors Manual dated 1954 for the fluid level in the master cylinder . There is nothing under the mopar section but in the general section under brakes it said to fill up to 3/8 inch of the top . Does anyone have anything different in your mopar shop manual regarding this ?
-
I have seen a fiber washer on the caps .
-
If you don't want the fluid to overflow out of the vented cap , only fill it to within 7/16 to 1/2 inch of the top .

I straightened mine several years ago by clamping it in a vise and pulling . Not a big problem .
