51 B3B build thread - after all these years
JBNeal replied to bkahler's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
I reckon that 1-7/8" is the distance from top of frame rail to bottom of cab floor...if ya have the top of the cab set OK, then verify that number at the rear and front of the cab. Another check is the 5-1/4" dimension, as the door bottom lines up with the bottom of the cab...not easy to measure, but doable. -

the oil bath air filters, now thems have a cellulose horse hair filter element...but the crankcase vented fill cap, they have interwoven metal strands as a filter element...soak in diesel for a days, drain, ignite...clean as a whistle by the time the smoke clears, but the outside might need slicking up afterwards with some Rustoleum black

I have rebuilt several Autolite wiper motors, and they all seem to have the same problems: degraded conductors, filthy commutators, and dried transmission gear grease. A couple had leaking transmission output shaft seals, and that took some doing to get replaced. I figure I put a bit of labor and about 20 bucks into each rebuild...they ran smooth as silk on 6V...write-up pending me catching up on chores... additional information - wiper motor rebuild issues

there are some assembly line pics in the Bunn books that lead me to believe the suspension, powertrain, and steering are installed to the chassis; the doghouse etc is set in place; then the cab with full doors is installed over the steering wheel; then the bed. In these pics, there may be special tooling used to set everything in place so that all the parts line up, especially the cab. I learned the hard way that the best approach is to put the cab, fenders, and hood in place with finger tight hardware, so that adjustments can be made during installation without too many tools.

My two cents is that there was probably one designed but omitted for production cuz it caused a sticky throttle in pre-production units...between the firewall pad and the floormat, the throttle linkage opening was covered up enough that Dodge Truck engineers said "close enough...ship it" ?

My android cell phone, tablet, and PC are unable to open those pictures, but I'm gonna guess that Purolator P-40 looks like one of these: http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/purolator-oil-filter.cfm Jim Osborn Reproductions might be able to help ya out...they have a large stock of decals and can clarify what they have available by email. They were able to help out a bit with the Deluxe Products Corporation decals that I did quite a bit of research on...

I am glad to donate to the cause as this site is a wealth of information for us Pilot-House enthusiasts, and I look forward to contributing further in the future. There are novice Pilot-House enthusiasts on the FB that have many questions, and I regularly reference this site to expose them to the knowledge base here...maybe a few of them will pony up like the paying members here to help keep the lights on

The brushes are offset on the commutator so I do not think polarity is an issue.
