    Hi Merle, No I have not been able to find the serial # on the frame. Even if the #'s match that would'nt tell me if someone swapped the cab, would it? Is there a # on the cab that would help? I'm headed for VA. to my Grandson's Wedding, be back Sat. Bill

    I'm sorry, I was a little ignorant when it comes to trannys, I thought in '48 the 3 speed was on the column and the 4 speed was on the floor. So this is good and all I have to do is swap the top cover...I think....I hope. The emergency brake is under the dash so thats wrong also. now I'm wondering what part of this truck is a '48. It's got 1 head light on the left and 2 on the right!!! NO ! NO ! NO! I'm just kidding. Bill

    Well I"ll be darned,somebody must have changed this tranny to a column shift. So I"d like to go back to a 3 speed floor shift Has anybody got the top cover for a 3 speed floor shift? I"ve got no idea what this tranny is out of but it bolted right up to the engine with no problums so must be out of a "50 or newer I think. Will a 3 speed floor shift cover fit this with no problum? Thanks for all the help. Bill

    Are you saying they didn't make a column shift in "48? Did they make a 4 speed in '48? Bill

    Hi everybody, has anybody converted a column shift to the floor? How did you do it? My truck is a b1b 1948 3 speed on the column and the linkage is bad and shifts hard. I bought a column to floor kit from Advance Auto and no way will it work. If I find a 4 speed transmision floor shift, will it fit this engine with no problums? Thanks Bill

    I put the old Girl to work at McDonalds every Thur. nights. I used my '96 Ford before I got my '48 Dodge and people complained because I was useing a space for an old car so I killed 2 birds with one stone. The season is done for this year and can't wait for next year. Here's some Pic's Bill

    Glad somebody else asked that question, been wondering for years now what that meant. Didn't want anybody to think I was stupid Bill

    Now that I'm almost done with my B1B I'd buy one just to see what I did wrong!!!! Bill

    I used POR-15 and brushed it on and didn't like all the brush marks. Now I have to sand all that out. Bill

    Your truck look great, Joel. I have a '48 b1b. Hope to have it on the road this spring, When I bought it 2 yrs ago I decided to paint it green cause I never owned a green truck or car and I'm ammazed how many green ones are out there. Maybe we should have a poll on colors. Bill

    I think I got the mystery holes figured out,see pic. Is this tail light bracket factory? If not where was it located and what did the factory bracket look like? There is 4 holes with nuts welded inside see pic, the bottom 2 are for the tailgate hinges, what are the next 2 for? the "L" bracket Merle is talking about can't go inside because the welded nuts are in the way,or didn't I understand? Bill

    Does anybody have these holes? if so what are they used for. They do look factory.
