Welcome,I saw your woody several years ago at the Forest Grove,OR. Concours.I am glad to hear it is in good hands and cared for.If you have any old Dodge Questions I live Just down the road in Salem.

Most of the B series 1/2 ton trucks weighed around 3200 lbs.

My 48 has 3 on each side and 2 on each end,I just had them powder coated glossy black.Mike

Also something strange about the angle and position of the steering column.(other than being on the opposite side).Mike

I used a piece of closed cell foam about 3/4" thick that fits between the floor and the tank,Mike.

Charles ,I have both these parts free for the asking,let me know ,Mike.

I have a 4 speed bellhousing from a 47 dodge truck that is free for the cost of shipping,let me know if anyone wants it .I am located in Salem,OR.97301.Mike

Phil,I have the part# for this u-joint.The complete u-joint kit is #1238416 from the Dodge propeler shaft ID book.Mike

Hi,the B1B's weigh less than #3500 and probably closer to #3200. Mike

Mine was stamped on the body of the u-joint (Cleveland),just had to scrape about 60 years of grease and dirt to see it. Mike

Hey Guys,Just a reminder that they used both Spicer and Cleveland U-joints on 48 B1B's,Make sure you are getting the right ones.I found out the hard way.Mike

Hey Frank O. I am just up the road in Salem. Mike Meade

Allan,Here is one taken in the last couple of weeks,Mike

I picked up my rims last week,$15 to sandblast and $30 to powdercoat each glossy black,so your price sounds about right.I have 5 new bias ply tires but need 5 innertubes @$13.50 ea. plus mounting and balancing,so when people ask me what I have into it, I just reply "cubic dollars".Mike
