    Nice buy, we were also bidding on the car and cars. We actually went and looked at them at the estate. The 49 won't take too much to get it up and running.

    Felt your pain. I believe your referring to putting the rubber bushings in. if that the case here is what I did. Works best if everything is clean and dry, no grease. Fit the rubber bushings on the a arm shaft, use a putty knife to slide it in. then put the nut on. good luck Mark

    Greg, let me know. Maybe do a little lake tour? DerbyDad, could we squeeze in with your club?

    10/4 that's what you need to do. also make note of the grease fittings for the bearings.

    Able to purchase a Locksmart 14400 tumbler with Keys for $20.00 at Advance Auto, perfect fit. Thanks to mackthefinger. Save the number

    Where can I can find a replacement ignition switch? Tumbler assembly just pulled out key and All, as I messed with it a couple of small pins dropped out never to be found. Able to hot wire to get home.

    I watched as they checked it. lift the front end off the ground maybe 1-2 inches, he took a big pry bar and then lifted under the wheel. any thing that's loose you will be able to see movement, king pins bushings etc. As they explained all of the little wear points when combined add up. Good Luck. its worth the time and expense, because when properly aligned, with wider radial tires the ride is amazing. Keep me posted.

    Need to check the bushings on the upper and lower a frames. they may feel and look tight, but until you put a load on them you wont really know.. Just had my 47 p15 aligned. While I thought all was good, I ended up replacing all of the bushings, one tie rod end (which was obvious) then the 4 wheel aligned it. the alignment shop will tell you how much toe in you need.

    I had the same issue on my 49, that plus trying to figure out how to put in the newer style rear main. Decided it was just easier to pull the motor and freshen every thing up. Im sure other s have a better idea

    Well, where ever it is , its in somebodys way, not easily kicked to the side or under something.

    As previously stated contact Paul Curtis and your worries are over. Great guy very knowledgeable and friendly

    I have seen it done and ridden in the car. While the front end could handle it, for some reason it was a very rough ride. Not sure as why?

    I am having the same issue with recently installed freeze plug. Here is what I am going try. Drain the radiator and engine, dry the plugs and then coat lightly with sealer. I know they are tight, brand new so not rotten, I used the recommended sealer when installed.

    Bob, thanks for the service bulletin picture. It can wait until this polar vortex moves on.
  15. MarkAubuchon
    thanks, that gives me a direction to start. Will have to wait till this cold snap passes.

    the inside hood release cable seems to work, but its not releasing the hood? Any ideas on how to manually open the hood? I've already thought of cutting a hole in the hood, so all other ideas will be considered.

    takes out some of the rear gear slop.

    I agree with and have first hand knowledge. You are always better off using compatible products when painting. When I painted my cars I was given this advice from a body/paint guy. I went so far as being consistent with filler, hardener, solvents, primer sealer and paint.

    Ive encountered the same situation, Plymouth was notorious for using what they had on hand to finish the job. What I would do is make sure the threads match and not force or cross thread. Just keep your eye out for the matching bolts when you go to swap meets or find a donor.

    Nice looking car. let us know how the aerostar springs work Mark

    could be a nice "bulldozer"

    All, I want to create an informational display board for my 1947 Plymouth. As these cars get older and fewer on the road when you go to a show I think it would be interesting for people to learn more about them. Where can I find out how many cars were made at each plant, figure our which plant my car came from and even which dealer it was shipped to. Thanks

    Your od is out of a later model, 47 didn't come with an overdrive. Call George Asche he can help

    I just had mine rebuilt at a local generator shop. Upgraded to newer parts and technology. Spins like a gaulded cat

    I used Rusty Hopes Disc conversion.
