If I had to guess, I am thinking vapor lock...IMHO

sent you a pm

that is very cool. I need to check the date code on mine.

cool. how pricy is pricy? mine on the B3 works. I'd like to find another. I assume nobody makes repops of them..

My B3D has two different style of headlights. One is a conventional looking lens with internal fluting like you see on just about every other sealed beam. The other, has, for lack of a better word, a smooth "dot" in the center of the lens. I have another like it I found under the seat of my 50. I am assuming that the "dot" type is older. Reason for question? I like the dot light and want to find another in working shape to put on the B3. The one I found in the 50 is missing the prongs that plug it in.

EZ.... it is a one ton with th elong bed though, right? I would like to have that bed n those back wheels. I could make my B3D a converto-rig.....

I'm digging that Travelall next to it. Had one like that once, actually a 1310 (1 ton) 4wd Travelall.....it was a beast.............

This time, I am sure they are NOT lawn tractor tires...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472511

whew, good. when I saw the "I's" in the engine number I thought that I had another mystery engine...thanks

My "new" B3D, stamped on engine number boss in usual spot: T3I0-I-0040 Head has these numbers cast into it by #5 cylinder, readable from driver side: D 1626306-2 DD 10 Any idea what year I am dealing with here?

neat stuff he has but he is not cheap....

welcome: this is a great site, full of info & great people...

part numbers are always helpful and appreciated.

Thats my B2C, special board pricing, she's rough, but shes 60.....

Wondering if anyone has done that or would the powder coating foul up the ability of the rim to lock in place? That would not be pretty..

tell me about it...but was their truck a Dodge?

it's home....

I am interested in the chrome grille "Job Rated" thingie...

cool thanks. Power Wagon? I am envious. I had a very nice 1/2 ton WWII carryall for a while about 12 years ago and let it slip away...

just got a nifty one family B3D. going to need to do the brakes. are parts as available for these as with 1/2 & 3/4 tons? the backs esp look different from my B2C.

As for master cylinders, early dual chamber CJ5 or early non power brake dual chamber Corvette might fit in the space there. I think I still have one of those CJ ones somewhere. When using a newer MC drum brake type, remember to remove the 10 pound valve in the port you use for the front wheels, and plumb in a 2 pound if not your calipers may drag. see link here for good info: http://www.earlycj5.com/technical/brakes/early-cj-disk-brake-swap/ exerpt: "Remember that if you are using a dual master cylinder from a drum-brake vehicle, you will need to remove the 10-lb. residual-pressure valve from the front port of the MC and plumb a 2-lb. unit inline to the front brakes I used a Wilwood PN: 260-1874. (The photo at left is from my incomplete installation). If you don’t remove that 10-lb. pressure valve, the front brakes will drag, as there is no spring to return the calipers like there is in a drum installation. If you just remove the stock valve and don’t install a 2-lb. valve like I did, you may end up having to double-pump the brakes all the time to get any pedal, as there is nothing to stop too much brake fluid from flowing back to the master cylinder when you release the pedal. Note the frame-mounted dual-chamber master cylinder from a 67-71 CJ-5. The purists may cringe; I just couldn’t bring myself to put a single-circuit system back into my CJ-2A when I was going this far with a “restification”. The old saying “no guts,no glory!” just doesn’t apply here I’m afraid. Also, remember to install the calipers with the bleeder facing UP, so that it will bleed properly. If you reverse the calipers and have the bleeder facing toward the ground (a very common mistake) you will never get the system bled and your pedal feel will be horrible. Simply swap the calipers from side to side to correct this. DUH! Guess that’s why the calipers have different part numbers!"

Brought the flatbed home today; pics tomorrow as I got home late. I am jazzed as it is mucho better than my B2C....yee haw.

I've done stupider things in my life, but it's been a while......

The picture on that web site looked a lot like this tire from Universal Tire http://www.universaltire.com/650-16-sta-super-transport.html
