On my B2B someone tightened the gearbox way to tight and it galled up the worm gear in one spot. Whenever the sector shaft bearing got to that area it would bind slightly then jump past it. Made it difficult going around certain curves in the road because it was right on top of that bad spot. I would pull and pull and finally it would jump past that spot and it would wind up turning more than I wanted it to.

My lights are mounted on top of the tailgate hinges using the hinge bolts.

I bought mine, 3/8” & 5/16” from Fastenal, but I just looked and they are out of stock on both sizes. They didn’t carry any other sizes either at the time. That’s been several years ago.

I used Nylock nuts on mine.

If you’re going to send 6 volts to your coil, you need to be using a 6 volt coil. Otherwise you will have a very weak spark at your plugs. I would think it would be weak enough that it could cause problems running.

If I’m seeing things right, your picture shows you are using a 12 volt coil. So why are you trying to drop your supply voltage down to 6 volts?

I was thinking the B2 three speeds were all synchronized. I know mine is.

I have an 802 in my 50, B2B. It is a tight fit, but it does fit. I installed the radio before I put my soundproofing on the firewall. I had to cut a notch in my firewall cove.

Yes, I used fender welting when I did mine. As ggdad said, it isn’t really needed unless you are going for originality.

My apologies for the wrong information. I looked back through my old paperwork, and it was advertised as being out of a 48 Chrysler. I don’t know why I had it in my head it was a Plymouth. Thanks for catching my mistake!

I too replaced the 4.10 center section in my 50 B2B with a 3.54 out of a 48 Plymouth. As Merle stated the axle spline count changed sometime later, but I’m not sure when. For me it was an easy direct swap.

Looking good! Those bed sides were the hardest part of my truck. It was a very long and tedious process. The worst part is that if you do it right, no one will ever know how much time and effort you have invested in it!!!

Nice looking truck!

Enjoyed the video!
