    Sounds like you have the lock clocked wrong in the latch.

    Maybe post some tractor content in the off topic area. I've got this one waiting in the wings but it might squeak by enough to be in the truck forum

    Small dead blow hammer? Nut driver you can push with your whole hand? Wooden dowel to push to tap?

    I also saw where someone melted the goo out of the back of the Mopar unit and used it to hide the GM one.

    Another thought to consider is to pull the timing chain. Then you can turn the crank and cam separately and see what's going on

    The interesting thought to me is the 39 trucks don't. So were there so many complaints that it was brought back?
  7. Young Ed
    The 41-47 trucks certainly have a hole in the grill for the hand crank

    I recently watched a video on YouTube where they were interviewing the former owner of that seized Tucker

    This has been in the works for a few years. I do think it's ridiculous that they are going down to this level. eBay had an email out about it a few weeks ago where you could email your representative to complain

    I like to hang car grills and dashes on my walls. My shop currently has a 47 Dodge truck dash, a P15 dash l, and a 94 Dakota grill. Along with lots of signs and random hubcaps.

    Get the engine turning over. No point in worrying about the cooling system yet. If you can't get it to turn the cooling system stuff would just be a waste of time and effort

    I did mine by pulling the two lower core plugs and then using a pressure washer behind the water pump. Lot of gunk came out. My alley looked like someone spilt a chili pot

    That motor looks right to me. The C or S for deluxe or special wasn't on the engine

    The good part of the overdrive is it lowers your final ratio for a higher top speed without sacrificing any acceleration. I would certainly grab it and inspect it. If the rebuilding just comes in for the 3 speed stuff vs the OD area I would think that would lower the price of parts.

    What about a wipe or spray on clear?

    The speedometer cable switched sides at some point I think in the early 50s. You should still be able to use it if needed and just adjust the cable. In my 48 for the OD I bought a short extension for the cable.

    From what I've heard Plymouths got 1 speed and the fancier dodges got 2 speeds. Dad always said he was going to swap a dodge unit into his 51. Looking at the parts book it appears all the Plymouths got the same while some dodges had a different number. I would assume then the 2spd was optional Bob 51 was the first year for electric wipers so you should have an electric setup

    That is a P15 salesman's data book

    For just a few years there were 2 wheel bases and they each had a P#. P17 and 18 for 1949 P19 and 20 for 1950 and then P22 and 23 for 1951 and 1952 models.

    I would guess it was to prepare for the possibility of the powerflyte

    My 48 has one of those 3.73s with the side gear swaps. Wasn't a big deal except we learned it the hard way when my axles wouldn't slide into the housing all the way.

    Well you inspired me to dig out some original brochures. It appears in 37 they called the basic lineup all business models. By P15 models the official name appears to just be a 3pass coupe however from my data book it's pretty clear they still knew their target customer

    The opener attached to the bottom of the dash. The tape attached to the center bottom rail of the windshield frame via two very small screws.

    The cool thing about the Hollander manuals is they never stopped printing them. Dad bought them maybe 10y back

    In the 39-47 dodge world the 120" wheelbase would mean it's a 3/4 ton. It would also have a 5x5 bolt pattern with 15" wheels.
