    I’m so glad you raised it back up. To me it looked horrible slammed. Like a squashed bug!
  2. RobertKB
    Thanks. Looks like you lowered it!

    Good luck with the project! Any pictures? We love pictures on the forum!

    From my 1954 parts manual. The number for the 1951 Plymouth front fender trim is 1346774. It the same for left and right so they are interchangeable. I have a Canadian 1951 Dodge D39 which is the same as a Plymouth but with some Dodge only trim but the front fenders trim number is the same. I’m at the car now and can say both sides are the same.

    It would help if we knew year and make.

    When my dad was 99 and in assisted living, he got a new table mate in the dining area. The new guy was 92. “Just a kid,” my dad said. Yes, perspective.

    It would be nice if you explained what you need help with. Pulling rear axles? Sourcing parts? Inner or outer seals? Bearings? Being a New Yorker you likely have a straight eight engine. If that is the case, many parts are not interchangeable with six cylinder 1946-48 Chryslers and I’m not talking just engines. New Yorkers are a different and unique beast. You need a shop manual and a parts book.

    It was a sticky situation! ?

    Gotta love seeing an old truck used as a working vehicle and not just a show piece!! Thanks for letting us ride along! ?

    Good news about ownership and a decent budget! ?

    If you don’t like the colour, use some black shrink wrap over the terminals. Looks better and protects better as well.
  12. RobertKB
    Totally agree. I’ve never seen one that didn’t look like that.

    Looking forward to the thread. You’ve got two interesting cars there. Assuming you got the frost plug replaced ok and no ill effects on the engine.

    I am quite sure Restoration Specialties has the correct fasteners as well if you need them. Use the holes there already as it’s easy enough to line things up. I’ve replaced hood lace on three cars and it’s very strait forward.

    Glad all worked out well. New plugs will double the horsepower of the old heap!!?

    Definitely use metal. Plastic filters are a disaster waiting to happen!

    I always say, “Just be glad you’ve lived this long.” However, I’ll take as many trips around our local star as I can get. Hoping, of course, health stays reasonably decent at the same time. Our old cars help us enjoy the trips! ?

    Lot of forum members seem to have their happy orbit day in February. Mine’s 02/26/49 or 26/02/49 depending if you use the American or British dating method. I personally like the day/month/year approach. Both dating methods are used in Canada. Leads to confusion though if first two numbers are 12 and under. Example: is 03/05/2022 March 5 or May 3 of this year?
  19. RobertKB
    Yup, might as well do it all at once. Then you know exactly what you have.

    When the seats are in, the carpet will look great! Good job!

    Great news, Keith. I watched the video on your blog too. The engine is performing great! Now, put lots of miles on it. Once you get 1500 or so miles on it, if will be running even better!

    Swap meets are a good place to look for a 6V charger if you can afford to wait.

    The ‘46-48 Canadian Dodge D25 used a non ball and trunnion driveshaft. To me a big improvement over the ball and trunnion driveshafts in my ‘51 Dodge and ‘53 Plymouth. I actually recently pulled transmission, driveshaft, and differential from my ‘47 D25 parts car. Yokes for both tranny and diff are different.

    Suggestion………..keep the flathead or if replacing, I thought you had a good spare flattie. Why do you need more power? Putting in a V8 would involve many modifications and a ton of work. Also, I thought you liked the original patina and a V8 would take away from that. Just my thoughts.

    Paul, would this not be better on the truck forum?
