    I've got one in MN. Might be a little far from you though.

    That's the same as asking will your compass still work if you fall and smash it on a rock.

    I've got a 94 dakota with a 3.9 v6 and a 5spd. Just hit 158K. Haven't touched a thing on that engine. Original clutch starter alternator fuel injectors etc. Oh wait I did have to do the water pump. Otherwise its been great. Straight freeway trips I get 22MPG.

    Just got the pics. Not buying this thing. Too rough for me and too much already taken apart.

    In the post war years it was really a sellers market. The dealers probably added as much as they could to each car. Mine had quite a few options. Clock, deluxe radio, 3 guards front 2 rear, dual heaters, and stone shields(aftermarket but possibly installed by the dealer too). It also had a unity spotlight but I removed it.

    Neat stuff Tim. I'm not too worried about it being extra fast. Even the base HP should make that little valiant move! Dads 63 valiant with the 225 and a 3spd gets going well so a v8 can only be better. Of course none of this matters if its a rusted POS or sold already!

    Not too concerned about that stuff. Engine is rebuilt and with limited useage it will be a long time before I have any problems. My understanding of the 273 was that it was the predecessor of the 318. We all know those things are tanks.

    Found this ad locally here. " 1965 plymouth Valiant Signet convertable - $1000 Needs to be put together,,Has Professionally rebuilt original engine,(Spent $1300.00 on it)273-V-8,Needs heads still on engine stand.. Professionally Remanufactured trans...still on stand..Factory posi traction.Lots of parts..Need garage space Waiting for a responce from the seller on body condition. Based on price and the fact its not mentioned I'm assuming its quite rusty. We'll see though. I was hoping to find a 64 with pushbutton auto but this might be close enough.

    My car had 3 guards on it new. The bumper was off when I got it but you can clearly see the outline of all 3. The 3 guards were with it too. Still don't think I'm going for that center guard....
  10. Young Ed
    Nice picture David. Decides one thing for me. No way am I putting the center bumper guard back on my p15!

    If you can get the model code from the serial plate I can help you figure out how big it is. Anything prewar is pretty rare and so are the bigger trucks. The 41-42 dodges have the same looking front end as mine with the addition of stainless bars on the lower grill louvers. 39-40 ones have headlights down closer to the grill and different grills.

    46-48 is for dodge and plymouth cars. The truck series before your pilot house ones went from 39-47 with very little being made 42-45. The 39s are T models 40s are V and 41-47 are W. Then a 1/2 ton is a C 3/4 and 1tons are Ds 1.5 tons Fs etc. So my 46 1/2 ton is a WC. As the trucks got bigger there are numbers after the second letter to denote wheel base and accesories like 2 speed rear axles. There are also plymouth pickups made 37-41. The one in the picture is a 41.

    Dennis is that 4 1 F stamped on a flat spot on the top of the diff housing? That's where the ratio is and that could possibly make that one a 4.1 ratio.
  14. Young Ed
    What rear end ratio is in that? Someone was looking for a 3.90. Hate to see good parts get tossed out.

    Being only 27 I'm not sure I'll like being a senior member......

    Just hope you get the same elephant back at the end!
  17. Young Ed
    That must explain the fender dent. You couldn't see behind you with that huge camper on there

    Fred any glass shop will carry that. I've also heard of guys using body seam sealer. I'm going to try it one of these days. I did glue one window in with silicone window sealer on the 48. Seems to be working so far.
  19. Young Ed
    Reg you reminded me of a street rod idea I've had for quite some time now. Mating a p15 front clip with a pickup cab. One of these days I should do the measuring and see if it would actually work out.
  20. Young Ed
    I miss the OT stuff too. I was probably the king of OT posts. Of course when I joined this group I didn't even have a p15 yet. Then there was all the stuff for the 55 dodge and most recently window trim. Which BTW I followed the advice here and my windows look great!

    Sure lots of people have put AC on a flathead. There are a few guys in the car section who have. I don't know of anyone who specifically added it to a truck but I think it would be easier. Trucks seem to have more room under the dash. The picture here is a 33 plymouth with AC and lots of other engine goodies.

    I think mine's ready mechanically. I've been on a few road trips with it without issue. Last one was 550 miles. Tulsa is 750 each way for me. I do plan to send a wiper motor in to be rebuilt over the winter and probably my radio too.
  23. Young Ed
    Pete Don't worry if your car isn't 100% done. I'm sure mine won't be. I'll be happy if its all one color when June comes around! Mine is in storage until April so that doesn't leave much time.
  24. Young Ed
    I've heard from many people you can't compare bumper plating to other pieces. Hood ornaments etc with all the little details in them require more attention. We've been using a shop in WI. I can get the # if needed.

    Too bad that car is 1/2 a country away. I've got a 51 that runs and drives but is really a parts car.
