    I believe there is a post in this forum that details where to look and what the numbers mean. I think that on the front of the pumpkin lower pass side are the numbers stamped in the case but it has been a while.

    That is an excellent bed filler. How well does it run?

    Rusteoleum Dark Hunter Green is very close. Can be found at Hope Depot. Not exact but close.

    Dodge, Ford, International and Jeep used the same bolt pattern on the one tons. The rims will swap between makes just keep the same offsets. If you are running duals make sure that you use coined wheels, there is more information on this in a past post. Make sure to check the attachment between the wheel center and rim for rust.

    I would be interested but already have too many projects and not enough time.

    It is easiest to run the wire from the steering box up the column rather than down from above. The wire hits the standpipe and won't continue thru. The trucks I have did not have relays. The hot lead comes from under the dash to the horn and the ground goes from the horn to the button in the steering wheel.

    Check the tech side there may be a step by step on how to adjust the box. It may just need to be tightened.

    It looks like the tubing to angle fitting are not aligned. The threads may be cross threaded and not sealing properly. The angle fitting may have to be replaced to correct the problem.

    Sounds like the alcohol content is causing a lean condition which in turn genearates more heat. Enlarging the main jet should help the problem. Then the timing can be returned to spec.

    Try contacting a company that already makes wheel adapters. They would have the expertise to make what you need.

    Where are you located? There may be someone in your area with a spare. They are heavy to ship.

    Try Rusteoleum Rusty metal primer. Comes in spray, quart and gallon. Old school oil base paint and really seals the surface. Use clear coat to seal the area you want to retain the patina. Seals the surface and cleanable.

    Earlier a link was posted for e-bay listing for floor inserts. Has it been deleted or moved??

    My suggestion is to use the larger engine with the fluid drive that is in the truck. If you can find a set of gears from the larger car use them but if not the 4:10's work. When you buy new tires go to 7:50X16 6ply. The larger circumfrence will give you a couple more mph. Any more and you will be going faster than the rest of the truck is designed for. My B-1-D has served me well for many years and miles, I just don't use Interstates. If your transmission is a 4 speed version most if not all the parts you may need to rebuild can be gotten from Vintage Power Wagons.

    Interesting enough all the trucks I have and have used for parts have been green, not by choice but that is what there was. I was told years ago by a former auto salesman that red was only for Fire Depts, Yellow was for utilities leaving green, black and blue. Not sure if it was true but made sense.

    The temps were not a decideing factor to drive or not. I drove year round unless it was snowing. I usually drove the 48 on in town errands more than my 04. The problem was dual wheels, no extra weight and a steep driveway. When she is back together it will be used for longer back road trips than before (rebuilt motor and trans) . Maybe after she's done the missus will go also, the truck squeaked and rattled too much before, she was afraid it would self destruct.

    There is a spring and pin. To remove the handle the cover has to be removed from the trans. The pin is spring loaded into the ball part of the handle. I had a sloppy handle on mine. I removed the pin and welded on material to replace what was worn off the pin and filed to fit. Like new now. The biggest hassle was removing and replacing the large tapered spring that forces the ball of the shift handle upwards in the case.

    The 6v foot pedal starter works great with 12 v just don't crank longer than 15-20 seconds at a time. I've been using the same starter for 20+ years with no problem. It spins the motor very well. Put a resistor between the coil and power. If your starter won't turn over, remove the switch from the top of the starter and make sure the contacts on both sides are clean and install. It could be just dirty contacts.

    Two of mine had 1/4 inch thick rubber pads with heavy threads in it. Like used under the pickup beds. They were approx. 2 1/2 inches by 8 inches.

    What are you using for a front suspension?
  21. 4852dodge
    1/2 & 3/4 ton use 5 lug but different spacing, 1 ton use 6 lug 16 in rim, 1 1/2-2 ton use 5 lug 20 in rim and fender extensions.
  22. 4852dodge
    She is a 1 ton with those 6 lug wheels.
  23. 4852dodge
    From the picture of the origional truck it appears you have fluid drive. You might be able to recover some funds by selling the engine and trans system.
  24. 4852dodge
    Very nice, whats under the hood?
  25. 4852dodge
    See if the title lists a light weight. I believe the 15000 is gross weight(truck and load). Double check the wheelbase before you get a trailer. I doubt a dolly will do the job, the truck will probably be too heavy and you need the braking power. I can't answer for the truck but I'd err on the side of caution and say you need a bigger one. You might find that the towed truck alone weighs more that that allowed towing weight of your pickup truck not counting the trailer.
