Looks good. Is the mat flat, or contoured over the tranny tunnel/shifter area?
-
Be sure and post a pic of the mat when you get it. I was thinking of getting one for my '59.

Side View Mirror Brackets for '51 to '53 Trucks
HughForrest replied to Jocko_51_B3B's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
This one is a bit different that the others pictured, but I believe it is also a Mopar bracket. If anyone wants it, it is yours for the cost of shipping. The mirror itself needs re-silver or replaced. -
My local glass shop that works on oddball old stuff suggested using tiny flathead screws to hold the sweeper to the door. I found the factory style clips very hard to use, so I followed their advice. As long as the screw head is small enough to burrow below the surface of the whiskers of the sweeper (so as not to scratch the glass) it is a quick & easy way to install it.

These folks http://www.mykmlifestyle.com/1938_Chrysler_Fuel_Sender.html are the licensee of Atwater Kent which made them Oem back in the day. I bought one from them and am happy with it.

found a couple of treasures...

? the tag line on the Royal Enfield coozy: "Untainted by Technology" Seems a little newer that the rest of that stuff, but I like it anyway. -
Leaving aside the openable rear window- 'cause I don't have that- is there drainage for the mini-trough that the edge of the rumble lid closes into? I couldn't think of a way to weatherstrip around the rumble lid that won't leak.

Check your P.M.s

I'll see your Nicson intake, and raise you an unused, "You've never seen one before" Nicson screw-in temperature gauge:

Thanks Andy, that's kind of you. If anything those pics look better than real life! Except for the dash paint & running boards it all looks pretty stock on the outside. The seat still has the original upholstery afaik.

In my '38 Chrysler (I think a bit less room under the hood than your car) I put a 383/727. It is a tight squeeze. No inner fenders, Cavalier rack, relocated shocks, remote oil filter, and disc brakes with the master on the firewall. I didn't have to alter the firewall or core support, but I notched the front cross member to allow the engine to sit lower. With the extra width a 440 wouldn't have fit with the hood sides on.

windscreen seal 1955 Dodge suburban one piece
HughForrest replied to Geekay's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
I'm thinking you could try Clester's for that: https://clestersauto.com/page/dodge-trucks/ -
X2 on Clesters. I was happy with the product, price, and service.
