Back on the project a little. Got the 4 running board hangers on the frame and started fitting the drivers side board. Other than a twist that I probably caused with my patching it seems to fit decently. I also found a Facebook group for the town of Suring WI that's called out on the door logo. Already got a reply from the great grandson of the Allen on the logo. Not only did Allen make snow fence he told me he invented the machine that produced it! The great grandson is going to look through family photos to see if there are any with the truck in them.

If that's a 41 tag that would make that a new truck

How to operate R-10? Non-Electric Overdrive...
Young Ed replied to bamfordsgarage's topic in P15-D24 Forum
If I remember Dads driving correctly he would occasionally flick the ignition off to get it to kick out. -
It's interesting how the rules change so much. We pay typically about .75 more than the regular but the no ethanol is only available in premium.

Looks like a WWII blackout version

You can see the square where the original bolt was cutoff. Knock that baby out of there and put in a fresh carriage bolt. Couple tacks to hold it and you're back in business. I think for the ones where I couldn't sneak the bolt in I cut one side and bent it enough to sneak it in and just welded the slot when I did the bolt

Pro tip. If you have a bunch of transmissions and go hunting through them for the proper gear to match the 3.73 you swapped into your coupe make sure you reinstall all the wrong ones correctly. Otherwise later on when Dad goes to install one of those in place of the OD he's not selling with the 50 Plymouth bad things will happen to the new owner. Like the tail housing exploding....
-
That number doesn't come up in my 51 Mopar parts book so it looks like your 49-50 only is right. I just inherited a bunch of Dads books I'll see if he has a 50 Plymouth parts book
-
Do you have a part number? If it fits 49 or 51-52 or Plymouth you'd have a much bigger net.

I was able to put carriage bolts and take them to the original brackets. I think on some of them I was able to wiggle them in and on some I had to manipulate the bracket to get the bolt in.
-
You should be able to get a bellhousing from a non fluid drive and be good to go with the swap. Might have to go to a Plymouth as the source though as I'm not sure there was a non fluid drive dodge

How about a slightly different issue. Same 6v only the car is Dads 55 Chrysler. Turns that big old hemi pretty slow. But lots more stuff to worry about if trying to convert. So far plan is to try and improve the 6v and make it work a little better

Hello all, I’ll be adding a 47 WD21 to the forum
Young Ed replied to Eric WD21's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Welcome to this group and the 39-47 forum! -
As far as I know but I haven't been up that way since last summer
-
Looks like my 48 stuff and I think they used it for many years
-
It's very old but I should have a thread on here from rewiring my 48 with some pictures of the dash.
-
I'm sure it's sometimes a bandaid. My 48 had toast wiring. I pulled the entire harness and rebuilt it using modern wiring. As an upgrade and to consolidate sizes all the 16 went to 14. I've now put about 30k miles on it with the 6v system.

Here in MN we've had a crazy almost snowless winter. Until last week when we got nailed! My snow blower broke towards the end of the third driveway we were doing so it'll be my first restoration project this season
-
My 48 had one headlight stamped nov 1948 on the back. I also assume it is the original. I have it stashed too and put 2 new ones in.
-
Awesome looking wheel cover. I was thinking of doing that to my 64 but for the opposite reason. My wheel sucks and I want to pretty it up.
-
Found the old post on the 39-47 IO Group. The bumper is a 48-56 Ford stepside rear bumper. Part number 49-4950 primered bumper $99.95 .
-
I believe it was a Ford F1 bumper that was used. Might have been a front also
-
I wonder what the gearing was for that car?
-
Project for sure but it looks pretty good for sitting for so long!

1950 Desoto fuel pump interchange with Dodge truck
Young Ed replied to wfopossum's topic in P15-D24 Forum
The truck pumps stick out further than the car ones but the top is also clockable so I would think you could fit it.
