    The fluid drive input shaft is much bigger and longer. Bob

    I have installed 50 or more brass 1-5/8" plugs, and if installed properly with a wide flat drift they never pop out or leak. I also use JB weld as a sealer on pitted core counter bores. Steel core plugs do rust much faster than the factory plugs-must be the import steel. Bob

    Chrysler still has them, as a shop I do work for just bought 12 of them. Pricey though-about 10 bucks a piece.

    Neil sells only complete OD transmissions as far as I know.

    Make sure the gasket is not too thick on the front input shaft bearing retainer. The retainer needs to be semi tight up against the snap ring on the bearing to hold it tight against the case to prevent fore and aft movement of the input shaft/bearing assembly. The shop manual tells all about this. I usually use a .010" gasket and "MoPar Engine RTV" black. Bob

    My guess-A second low charged battery or a cable issue. Bob

    I see that the 1956 Plymouth also had an optional identical engine as the 1956 Dodge 2 bbl engine putting out 131HP and had 7.6 CR with 203lbs torque.

    I like em stock restored or just original cars/trucks running well tattered or not-just use em as originally designed! Always has been good enough for me.

    Dodge in 1956 had a 2 barrel carb=131HP.

    I have a person (shop) that does all my old car shoe relining. He can put oversize linings on almost any type of shoe. If you do decide this could be the way to go why not find a company to do this for you. You are not the only one running a dodge 1 ton with worn rear drums. I think one of mine is at .080". If the pistons are all the way out maybe extending the tip of the shoe that goes into the piston-(welding it up) professional welder or equivalent! then reline your old shoes. Just a extreme thought!

    I see no problem using .030" old stock MoPar brake lining -that was always kept dry of course. Only problem it seems is the linings are too narrow-like 1-3/4" for 14-1/8" drum? If so they are Power Wagon rear linings. Regular civilian 48-53 1 ton Dodge truck use 2" wide linings/shoes on the rear 14-1/8" diameter drums. Bob

    Here is a factory picture of the dodge truck pull back spring and extension wire-kinda like on the cars. Pic is of a 3 speed but 4 speeds would be about the same except for length. Parts #'s are different.

    You should be able to swap the complete drum/band and linkage over as long as the case is exactly the same. Bob

    I have posted a picture of it ( the special shaped spring clip) in the past on this subject. Clip goes on the frame side only of the torque shaft. Bob

    Maybe "P" means powerful performance head?

    The 1st one (later model) is a pin type 3 speed aluminum syncro ring trans and the earlier one 1950?- is a strut type - brass syncro trans. None is a heavier duty than the other. Pin type syncro's when not worn out shift very easy and smooth. Bob
  17. Dodgeb4ya
    I have seen those for sale on Ebay in the past.
  18. Dodgeb4ya
    Here is a pic of your problem area you got resolved. Good going! Bob

    I kinda agree. The new replacement Chinese parts though are still not the same specs and quality as the old MoPar OE suppied parts. I had to replace all the bearings in a M6 trans a year ago and the new replacement bearings fit OK but used shorter roller bearings and the batch of 4 same part#C/R brand seals were all made slightly differently, none made here in the USA-- Made in India and Mexico. 90% of the China stuff is still not great quality. I'll pass on it.

    I agree offshore Chinese bearings are inferior. I like factory genuine USA Timkin bearings. Am working on a 300B that had all new offshore Front end replacement parts previously installed and were from the USA Big Boy suppliers- and now of course they mostly supply new replacement offshore parts-most all are very poor quality. Had to replace some of them- as they were a smaller dimension/weaker, although did fit and work but were very poor quality. All the tie rod rubber boots were badly cracked just after sitting for a year in the resto shop! China crap!! Get good USA bearings if possible. Bob
  21. Dodgeb4ya
    The above is 100% right on!!
  22. Dodgeb4ya
    He's got a 1 ton D series-11" front drums with 6 bolt studs and 14" rear 6 stud drums. Hub stud size was 9/16" up to around 1950 and was sized up to 5/8" I think in 1951. I too have never found any NOS rear drums either-tough parts to find. Bob
  23. Dodgeb4ya
    So sorry to hear about this Bob. The main point is all of your family is OK. In some way good things will come out of this. Wish you and your family the best. Bob
  24. Dodgeb4ya
    And another picture of an OE at least 1948-50 lense...

    How about your oil control rings and cylinder wear?
