    ALL metal corrodes, just some less than others. Stainless by definition is a low corrosion metal, but it CAN corrode. 316L is a great stainless metal that is used in applications such as the food industry for this reason, but over time with water, acids and salts, it can corrode. Depending on the grade of stainless, you get more/less protection from corrosion. So you might either have a lower grade of stainless, or you have chromed carbon steel. I'm sure the guys here have a better idea of what stainless grade was used in these trucks.

    ok, question for those in the know: On my rear brake assembly, on one side of the axle housing on the support plate there is a spring (PN 5-25-1 according to plate 5-5 in my parts book) What does it do? I assume it helps hold the shoe assembly against the cam? Why is there only one on one side? One side only has only one adjustment cam and NO springs...what is correct? Front assembly has NO springs as well.

    I'm offended! NOT!

    I hope he has some for you! I took my driveshaft into "THE" local shop and had NO parts for mine! Altho they told me the interesting story of what the wire holding them together was from/for!

    I've most likely got a tailgate available, but it is for a 51 B-3-D...needs a bit of work

    welcome aboard the land of spending all your free time and money on old Dodges! Or is that just me? I've found this place to be a plethora of knowledge and wisdom! If these guys don't know it, no one does!

    which one? I'll be over that way next Friday to work a bid....I doubt 7 Corners over here would have truck parts...

    You are correct on the studs. I've used McMaster for work many times, high priced, but good product. Anyone else got a few laying about?

    right hand threaded

    of course forgot to check over lunch... knowing my dad, he just said "gutnuf" and left it off. This is the same man who said he was going to use roller chain to "fix/replace" his engine mount in his '90 Pontiac 2000.

    ok, GUESS WHAT? NEW issue. Shocking I know! No luck on NAPA. I've got 5 studs from the rear axle housing/differential that are pretty janked up at the end and the nut won't turn off (or on for that matter) and 1 from the rear cover. The studs all turned out of the rear housing. I chucked them all in a vertical mill w/ a 7/16" collet and no dice. Anyone have any spares? the 5 studs are 1.95" long and the solo cover one is 1.2"

    threads look to be pretty good at least via the first visual. As usual, things that shouldn't be an issue seem to pop their heads up on this stuff!
  14. ggdad1951
    well it's only 6.5 hours from my place, or 7.5 from yours!

    sweet! I'll check at home over lunch. Funny story, found out from my friend that took that off that there wasn't one on there when he took it off. The shackle was just sitting in the hole w/o the "bolt"! I wonder how long my father drove that like that!

    ok, getting around to all those old totes full of parts that I need to start to paint. I pulled out my Ziploc with my "front spring rear shackle"(s) in it. Took it to the plastic media blaster to clean it up and seems I am missing a "bolt"....my parts book doesn't even have THAT shackle!

    going back to the heat riser aspect of this thread...I've been soaking my frozen one for about 2 months now with a shot of penetrating oil every other day, still frozen solid....
  18. ggdad1951
    I PRAY the day I do that the same thing happens! Congrats!

    yes that is a hand crank...it's a random "for sale car lot" in Mason MI. No one was around to even ask if I could get parts off it or what it'd take to get. I could prolly get more info next time I cruise around up there this fall (if they are around that is).

    as promised. This was an old beer delivery truck, bed was shot interior was shot, but the body panels looked to be ok (including tailgate). I'd bet $200 would get you the whole shooting match!
  21. ggdad1951
    My issue at least got put to bed, $600 later at ZBAG, whom found parts from some guy in MI.
