41/53dodges

well, I could remove the old studs from the hub and put studs through the adapter with nuts on the inside to bolt ot the hub, then have studs facing out for the new wheel. It's not meant for looks, mainly functionality and replacability. my current rims look like this and scare the hell outa me every time i have to fill em'

Has anybody successfully swapped newer model 22.5 wheels onto their large truck? the 1.5T could use some new wheels, and normal daytons and 10 luggers are plentiful and fit the bill, just need adapters. I was going to make some round adapters to the 10x11.25 pattern, but the hole in the middle interferes with the stock bolt pattern!

AND WE HAVE A WINNER! that looks like a 1.5-2.5 tonner with a shortened frame?

it was more along the lines of civilian, 1.5T plus, 1940-41, 46-47. it looked similar to my WF-32 1.5T.

I need help finding an old picture somebody posted on here awhile back. there was a w-series dodge truck with a logging setup, fully loaded. it was a black and white pic, and i cannot seem to find it again! thanks, josh.

gentlemen, this is what in the motorcycle world is called "trials riding" if you thought the bike guys were bad, the motorcycle guys are nuts! yes, this is one of the guys from "americas got tallent"

well, as long as they are front springs, sure. just got back from getting one tone springs for the back, thought i could interchange the backs to the front and use the on tons in the back, but thats wrong:mad:. so if i use 3/4 springs up front, no big deal.

I think that the 218/230 pistons are the same, but the crank and con rods are different. anybody back me up? it may have a slightly different cam,too.

Hi guys, upon trying to install my leaf springs, i heard a nice "POP", but continued working. five minutes later, i looked at the spring, and the primary one has a nice crack right is the middle! there was a 48' one tonner at the junkyard that i was thinkin of grabbing the springs from (if that works) but if that doesnt, does anybody have any spares or a good place to get new ones? the broken one is the front driver side, seven leaf on the half tonner. thanks! josh

I am debating a t-5 transmission swap, and the search feature is unhelpful for this! would somebody mind giving me a breakdown of a T-5 swap for a 53' half tonner? thanks! Josh

i wonder, how do the triple grille guards rank in this?

I was rompin around in the woods and saw something shiny about 100' off the trail, turned out to be what is now my 41' flatbed. ironically, i didnt actually get it till after i got the 53',but i always called it mine.

torch and a hammer is all i could think of, but that may comprimise the strength of it.

too bad im not closer or else i would go get it myself, it doesnt deserve to be there.

sweet truck man! I would leave the body and drive. always loved the 40's body styles. where you located?

there is one on the 48' 1 ton at the scrapyard

does anybody have one of these behemoths laying around? i would love to see one in person...

some industrial engines used an inertia drive starter, no solenoid or pedal. should be easy to get. combines and whatnot are a pretty good choice.

you know you want to...

alright then, next time i run down there i will grab it for you. would you like the whole heater control bracket? the one with 4 holes for controls, there is the fan switch and a control cable, but thats it. model 61 heater, yard wants $52 plus core if you are interested.

well, there was an air cable for a heater,but it was siezed beyond repair. as for choke and throttle, I will be needing those for my truck(s)

sorry, no horn ring which lights are you referring to? if you are referring to the elevation lights off the top of the cab, i couldn't resist but get them myself! I didnt see any fog lights on it.

hi everybody, its been awhile since i posted about the 41', but does anybody know the size of inner rear axle nut on a 1.5 tonner, WF-32. its either 3.125 or 3.250, but I dont know for now. any help is appreciated!

today i picked up the doors, running boards, cables, and radiator. hopefully will return tomorrow for more.

located in wadsworth, IL at the local pick-n-pull, there is a 48' dodge 1 tonner, currently complete except a bed. cab is literally rust-free, all gauges and cables intact, engine and trans intact, even has a second cab! ready for painting. if anybody has any interest, call me at 262-496-8104. I will make another trip out there myself for doors and running boards if anybody would like to join me. I personally will not strip and ship parts, but perhaps another local member would. -it is half off weekend now with either coupon or rewards card, ends sunday list of various parts- cables for 2 cabs gauges for 2 cabs seat frame for air-cushion seat (also has instruction tag) one deluxe door one (extra) 48' cab 2 truck heaters (one with control cables) HAS TRIPLE FRONT BUMPER GAURDS nice glass cab lights on top located in Wadsworth, IL http://www.picknpull.com/locations.aspx?View=Detail&ID=65
