Nope I'm keeping that! And I actually don't have mine put back on my coupe
-
I'll sell you a set for only half that
-
Is that picture something you found online? So you need the piece on the right?
-
I didn't even spring for the split die. I basically made my own by cutting a bit I'm half. And boy was I annoyed when I did it the first time only to discover a course thread nut was mixed into the fine thread bin and I'd spent all that effort on the wrong thing. Would you be able to get the tool out if you pulled the column?
-
Did dealer trading exist like it does now? Maybe the local dealership didn't have the specific truck so they started calling around to find one
-
Car craft used to have a column called stupid gear head stories. It was one of my favorites. On my 47 I didn't put the nut on far enough and managed to mess up the top few threads on the steering shaft. There is probably an entire page of my build thread devoted to fixing that!

That's the trouble - the trim stuff can all be added by someone wanted a fancier car.
-
The chrome trim around the windshield would make it a Cranbrook assuming that someone didn't add it along the way
-
Correct names but wrong order. Concord is the cheapest and a shorter wheelbase. Cambridge is the middle and Cranbrook the top. There was also a Belvedere starting in 51 but that might not have been a separate model until 53
-
You should be good to go. 201 to 218 is interchangable
-
The ones for my p15 are 8-32 and very short. About .25 long
-
What body style is your car? Pictures would help. Unless it's been restored in which case it could have been changed
-
I have a couple gauge clusters for P15s and can measure the thread.

Can a 201 engine be swapped out for a 250 engine?
Young Ed replied to JJs 1948's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
My 47 WC which is basically the same as that Plymouth truck had the longer 6 in it. The truck transmission and bell housing were bolted on. Watch for starter depth against the flywheel. The person that did mine welded angle iron on the frame for the front engine mount and then hacked up the radiator mount. I'm sure you can flip it or rearrange the radiator to get a better result than they did. -
That's dangerous. Dad bought a 50 Plymouth radio at a swap I think in 89-90. Ran into someone in the parking lot that said oh you must have a 50 Plymouth. Dad says no and they get to talking and a few weeks later that guys car became Dad's.

I collect and play a collectible card game. There is a tracking ap for that where you can scan and lookup cards with a smartphone camera. Something like that would be the quickest way to determine value. Beyond that see if you can find a local shop that might want to buy them all.

Stock Electric Wipers and Stock Radio Clearance
Young Ed replied to hi_volt's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Probably a dodge DeSoto or Chrysler setup from the same time frame -
I personally wouldn't go in over 2k with a flathead but it also depends on the driving. Are you doing lots of 5mile trips or lots of interstate drives?
-
That's not them. Those are 41-42 only. I usually see them as lower grill stainless. I'm after a set too. My next truck will be a 41
-
I think I'd freshen up the valves and see what the numbers are then. While it won't be perfect I bet you can get many years out of it

6 vehicles at the empty nest needing starting
Young Ed replied to Rodney_Hamon's topic in Off Topic (OT)
I've got my 4 along with 2 modern minivans plus trying to keep all of Dad's stuff going since he can't anymore. He's got 8 of I counted correctly -
If everything is new I would agree the alignment doesn't matter. I'm thinking once these parts are used putting them back in the same place puts them into the same pattern of use/wear
-
Nice shot of an R series international in front of it too.
-
Dug my original bulb from my 48 out and it is indeed a Corcoran brown bulb. So I can say that's what they were using in Nov of 48 when my coupe was built.
-
Technically the Mopar adjustment is hot and running too. My experience is getting it hot and then shutting it off and doing them quickly
