  1. Rusty Hope has a recommended list. You can purchase all pieces from him or take the list to any parts house and purchase per his list. That is what I did. So check with him. It appears to me from comparative pictures that others have copied his backing plates and selling them at inflated prices. THAT IS NOT A STUDIED STATEMENT ONLY A PERSONAL OBSERVATION. I SUPPORT Rusty. I have bought two kits from him.
  2. I used the small harness from EZ Wiring. It's a good harness. I used all new materials including switches. A tedious task, nut brakes and lights are not the place to skimp. JMHO
  3. KING PINS, If these are even suspect, fix as required, they are the foundation for ALL else up front.
  4. I bought new nos switches, switches too important to skimp there. Today I picked up metal for the floor. Now will fit and weld. Had to crop to fit page.
  5. I used a 98 Cherokee MC and proportioning valves. Here is what I did.. I used Rusty Hopes Kit.
  6. I'm very jealous, anxious to finish my Suburban.
  7. You can keep the radio, I want the Chrysler! LOL
  8. I believe the '52,Plymouth hood ornament was the bow of a ship cutting through the water with the waves showing. Will that ornament fit on a 54 plymouth hood?
  9. Rank and file doesn't concern me. I just appreciate the help I've received.
  10. 48p15, I think your opinion on the naysayers is a little strong. My interest in original patina is not popular on this forum yet the consensus is "Its your truck!" I view the opposing thoughts to be constructive, and do not discount them because they are meritorious and as such "warnings" . so I encourage you to proceed and share what you do because there is always something new to learn. Best to you, but please proceed in a positive way!
  11. There IS a B3B in this picture.
  12. I followed a friend to the BBQ several years ago. He had a small Mopar V8 in a 47 Plymouth coupe. I had a 218 with a 3:73. We filled up two times side by side and drove together the distance. The distance we drove between the two roll ups was approximately 160 miles. He got 18.5 with his coupe and I got 18 with my truck!
  13. When correctly tuned on my B3B I get 18 driving steady on the highway, but maybe 12/14 around town. They need tuning maintenance both for best economy and power. One mfg which had some MPG efficiency in mind was Rambler. Though not popular those were great cars. We had an early American, year 1960 which had overdrive, it was a 25 mpg car, better out on the road.
  14. I shot this pic near Detroit. It's probably not what you want but very impressive. That may be the area you could find one.
  15. It looks to me to be a snow blower attachment to a grain combine which would be easy to do.
  16. Got snow? I've never seen one of these.
  17. Moose hauler? if I should take a stab at the purpose of the above finned Plymouth.....funeral flower car..... funeral car for gangster loser?
  18. If you are referring to post #5, yes it is. He was broke down middle of Kansas his wife from Lincoln NE was bringing parts. He was in a cross country race from Long Beach CA to Boston, MA.
  19. Don, were the two of you still in the car?LOL
  20. Can't remember 68 let alone 48! 80 is where life begins!
  21. Feb 2013, Sunday morning 2 am. It burned to the ground. As you well know, my B3B was in there. Rumor persists that my granddaughters cat started the fire!
  22. Light switch. So bend back the small tabs an repair? What type of greaser, vasoline?
  23. Our youngest son was a sleep walker. He is a tall 6'4 and very strong. One morning in his early 20's. He dove through n unopened bedroom window. We found him in the back yard, bleeding excessively. Webput a tounaquet on hos arm. The kitchen looked like a slaughterhouse when we left for the hospital. When we walked in, we went to the head of the line. Returned home some eight hours later with neatly 100 stitches to fix it all up.
  24. OPS! I check out mt harness earlier and all worked nicely. To day irratic results, so I revisited the switches. Should have put in new ones! OPS. so question, what sources are available to me?
