No flat head Ford V8's here. I don't really remember where this pan came from. I think it was in some old Mopar I dragged home so I assumed it was Mopar. I'll ask my Bros. One has 38 Ford trucks and the other has 48 ford trucks. Over the years I've rescued both of them several times on the roadside and towed them over here for repairs with my Mopar 6. Hmmm.

YOU WON !!!! 5 gallons of 30W that could go in it. It'll be on the big brown truck and at your place tomorrow. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/olddodges1/MVC-014S-1.jpg?t=1166661595 And Don. You are correct. I traded the Taxi for one of these so you should see it tomorrow in your driveway with a surprise package for you.

I'm cleaning up the garage a little and guess I'll never use this oil pan. Anyone need it for just the shipping? Hate to scrap it. Looks like it was boiled out but then got surface rusty. Slight shelf wear.....very rare....one of a kind.....might be NOS......great deal at 1/2 the cost.....near mint......don't pass this once in a life time deal up PLEASE....I'm tired of tripping over it.

Very similar Don. I can drag this one around the yard where my other ones hose can't reach. Hey....I didn't mean to hit the quote button and now I can't delete the photos. Woops!

Yeah, it's a MoPar model ?? truck heater. I thought if ya didn't have one we could install this one. I have your problem in reverse. My heater is in and I don't feel like removing it to install my new fire wall pad.

Jim, did you get yours started? If so what was the problem.

Jim, glad to see she's on the road !! Nice photo. Throw on a heavy coat and a lap robe and come on up. My truck is out of commission right now waiting for a coil from Langdon's or I'd meet ya 1/2 way. Do ya need one of these for the ride home?

"While I'm at it, what about the Rams Head on the hood, anyone know what years these where used? Dutch" Dutch. Starting in 51 the rams hood ornament was no longer offered as standard equipment but could be ordered as an option.

Good news. The T146 engine is for a 48-49 1 Ton and is a 230.

Sure sounds like a good idea !

Sure. Here's a photo of the culprit. It's a two piece water supply valve I installed about 8 years ago under the guest bath sink. both valves under the sink are the same type. The rest of the house has one piece valves with the flex line permanently attached to the valve body. for some reason the supply line worked it's way out of the compression fitting.

Tony, I have that piece of the tail gate with DODGE pressed into it cut out of a tail gate. Have your friend contact me if he's interested and I'll send him some photos. Reg

Well, in my case I didn't have time to go shopping or get bids. It was important in my mind to get all the furniture out in a hurry as it was sitting on the wet carpet. We were still clearing out the rooms as they drove up 3 hours later. I'm a general building contractor and build several homes per year so I know about the importance of getting clear and firm bids. Those bas***ds were just going to see how much they could wring out of my wallet while wringing out my carpet.

JerseyHarold, Luckily,in my case the water never rose more than about 3/4 of an inch in any part of the house. The water actually drained off the slab floor around the perimeter of the house. Since the pressure treated mud sill (floor plate) is 1.5" thick the sheet rock and insulation didn't get wet. I'm not concerned with any future mold growth. What Disgusts me is how ServiceMasters had the gall to bill me $2007.25 for 1 hour and 20 minutes of labor for two slow moving workmen. Their wet carpet removal charge is more than the cost of new carpet and pad and labor to install for the area. I'm also amazed at how easily they backed off this exorbitant charge twice.

About 2 weeks ago we had a water line break loose under the guest bath sink. It had apparently been squirting hot water full blast under the cabined for about 4 hours. That bath,both bedrooms next to it and 1/2 of the living room were flooded when I got home. All the floors were carpeted and my house is on a slab so the only damage was the 8 year old carpet and pad plus a little baseboard. I got out the phone book and for some reason called the local Servicemaster. 2 guys arrived 3 hours later and wanted me to sign a blank contract. They wanted to set up fans and dehumidifiers and after I pressed them for a cost they estimated it at~ $1500. I said oh no...just suck up some of the water so you can remove the carpet and pad and just throw it into the car port. The carpet is old and needs to be replaced anyway and our homeowners deductible is $5K so this won't be an insurance job. My wife,daughter and I had already removed the furniture before they arrived so after 1.5 hours they were done. One of the guys spent a good part of his time measuring and taking photos and notes while the other guy did the brunt of the work. When they were ready to leave I said I wanted to pay them. The head guy said they have to bill me later. A week later I get the bill for over $2100 so I called and complained and in a few days the bill was reduced to $1600. More complaining on my part and in another day they called to say the bill would be ~$500. I still think at $500 it's still highway robbery. Anyone ever dealt with them? I never will again.

Dave, I sent some detailed photos of the tires to your resO......email address re: the tires.

Yes..I have admired you car and the color combo several times Marty. Mine is more yellow and will have 3.75" wide whites and beauty rings. Hmm Decisions,Decisions.

Are ya talking burnt orange Mario?

Hey Thanks for doing that Mario ! So far I like the orange or the black. I like the looks of the black rims on your red and black truck too so maybe black it is.

Here's a Dodge/Worthington tractor that just sold on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150066881304&rd=1,1

Cool ! The T346 engine is from a 54-56 truck and has 265 cubic inches. NICE FIND !!! Here's a photo of a set of those manifolds I cleaned up and will install in my truck. Next time you are looking at your engine can you tell me what the numbers are on the 2 carbs. The numbers are located on the fins over the float bowl on the top of the carb.

Can't get past rocketing rabbit but did cut a little off the elapsed time per dart. 0.1636 per dart. How about this one. http://www.elfmovie.com/swf/snowball_fight/index.html

Here's a sales brochure with a 3 tone color scheme if ya count the rim color. Am I correct in thinking that maybe you could order any color combination as long as it was on the color chart for the year. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Have you measured the length of the head on the engine in your photo. Compared to the tire it looks more like a 25' BIG BLOCK.

I'm not sure Jerome. Better ask the guys at P15-D24.
