The track will be the same. He stretches the axle to the original king pin width.

Don, thanks it was the excelerator pump. The truck was down for only a week. Installed a new one and no more whip lash. Thanks again, Greg

Will pull the carb apart today, thanks, Greg

Tried it out today, starter spins faster but smooth. And I have another issue. Now the carb has a slight hesitation off idle. When it was 6 volt I was running an electric fuel pump, the carter type. Same type of pump but 12 volt, and carb hesitating. Any clues? Thanks

Thanks for all the info. Going to try it out today. Greg

Will try it out and use short cranks . Thanks for the replies, Greg

I'm converting my 47 dodge truck to 12 volts and want to keep my foot activated starter set up. I know that it needs a ford solenoid but that would take away the foot start. My 6 volt starter was just rebuilt. Thanks, Greg

Thanks for the help, take care, Greg

On my 47 dodge truck, how do you remove the lenses to replace the bulb?

The T5 conversion, you won't be sorry. You got the perfect bell housing for it too.

It comes with a brass sleeve for the release bearing, a pilot bushing and a spacer ring that goes on the input shaft retainer

I don't have an angle finder, but it looks strait up 90deg

i got one more question if y'all get time i need some measurements off a stock axel here is a pic i also need overall width and spring pad and shock location and any pics yo can send thanks Hope this helps;

I have a 47 axle that's off my truck at my shop. I can measure it tomorrow in the afternoon, Hawaii time, and let you know.

Contact Ford Mike on The Hamb website. He has a 53 Pilot House with a axle from Sid. He sent me some pics of his set up but it was different from mine. He's willing to help, seems like a nice guy

I'll look into this, but for now a rock will do.

On the steering arm we had to heat and bend it in two places and kept the drag link level.

Didn't get to the parking brake yet. Still thinking of what to do. Was looking at the hydraulic brake but heard after a while it loses pressure. I have a ford ranger 8.8 rear end so getting parking brake cables and parts is easy to get.

My truck is a 47 but I just installed my axle from Sid. It's a 2 inch drop and he stretched it so the king pin is in the stock location. Used his tie rod drop blocks and tie rod ends. He's amazing! Axle looks stock except for the drop and stretch. I had to modify the steering arm to clear the drag link and get it leveled. Other then that it was a easy install. Before the axle, I removed springs to get the drop I wanted but the axle was hitting the oil pan and the spring arc was reversed. I added back a leaf to level the arc of the spring and ordered the axle. Greg

Looks like a Hawaii truck with the moss growing on it

Ed, thanks for the help, the search is on! Greg

Looking for a front axle for my 47 1/2 ton p/u to send to Sid's. What year axles should I look for? Thanks, Greg

That's not good

It doesn't. Look like it opens. In the wiper panels there are hinges but nothing is connected to it and there is a hole in the dash for the crank but there isn't any gear to make the window open. Are there two types of windows, opening and non opening? On the truck now there is a thick weather strip that the window sits in (looks like a two piece) and it looks like behind it they sealed the weatherstrip to the body. They also sealed around the outer edge of the weather strip with silicone or something similar. It's a mess and it leaks. I got the rubbers from Roberts but not sure which one is for the front and rear glass. There is a thick rubber that kind of looks like the one on the windshield now but its too short and a thin one piece rubber that fits around the windshield but doesn't look like the one that's on now. Do you glue the windshield to the body then the thin one piece rubber to the windshield? Thanks, Greg

Does anyone have pictures or a video on replacing the windshield rubber for my 47 dodge truck? Was wondering how hard it is to replace. If it's too hard i'll send it to the glass shop.Also the windshield doesn"t crank out.
