And of course Minnesota! ?

Cool! Hard to tell by the photo.... 10’ or 12’? Are you gonna have to modify for your build? The flatbed on my one ton is about 3” more narrow than the 1.5 ton from outside wheels.....

Welcome Matt! Looks like a 51 or 52 to me..... have fun with it Lol, I didn’t recognize Scotland without it raining ?

Does this help?

Grandkids are awesome! Have 3 granddaughters myself…. A word of caution though, hard to get the two worlds of playing dolls with them and working on trucks, together sometimes… LOL

Nope, same as Merle…. I just ran the fill neck between the recoil and the stationary ?

If you can, pull it over a scale to give the next guy a clue (should the question come up again)

I put the buckle side a little further apart than Merle did consequently, it put the drivers side buckle attaching bolt, poking out underneath over the gas tank…. I took about 1/2”’off and I feel a lot better about it And just to bring up the obvious….. make sure any “burs”, weld splatter or sharp edges are filed down where the belt might rub. (hi Merle ?)

My B4D and B4GA has floating rear brakes shoes the GA has single bore cylinders (I don’t remember the cylinders in the D ?)

Sent one from Oregon…. also grabbed one from the great state of Washington when we had a lay over to Michigan and sent it. If it doesn’t count let me know and I’ll drive back up there and make Kevin mail one ?

Visiting family in Michigan two weeks ago, I spotted this one near a family member’s house

Picked some up from Vic for my 1/2 ton two weeks ago https://vicsdodgegarage.com/product/51-53-b-series-½-ton-radiator-hose-kit/

You’d think so but, somehow the bracket on the drivers side was broken and I swapped it from the passenger side. yeah, I’m going down that “rabbit hole” to find what isn’t original but, it ticks me off I can’t find out any information on them ? I may just contact Grote and ask them. your right Wally, it is not the typical WC mirror I’ve seen and someone put a SS plate on the door. The lower bracket attachment is screwed together and then to the door LC, if you do get WC mirrors, I really like the 5-1/2” x 10” my B4D has My B3 (above) has 7”x 16-1/2”…. Looks right to me on a bigger truck. Just something to consider ?

Not sure if this is a WC mirror or other, Been looking for a match to this one. Anyone familiar with brand or style? the mounting is different than the other trucks I have.

I agree 100% Bill ?

Lol, No kiddin, I would have thought in Texas the door handle on the passenger side would have been missing altogether so she couldn’t get away ? ”bow chicka wow wow” ?

Up until I read “plastic” in the parts manual, I always considered them a vinyl with a metal disc between the handle and vinyl I agree with GGDad, I always thought it was a “regional thing” associated with the door card. The 51 I pulled metal ones from, was a 5 window, without the door cards. But the other 3 and 5 window cabs with the original door card that had the “two lines” in the cards, had the “plastic” escutcheons (unlike FEFF’s original pattern door cards) sorry JPartington for geeking out on the escutcheons ?

JULIE? Is that you!? ?

My opinion, it’s your choice. If it were me I’d use the best “plastic” ones you have until you find a perfect metal set, then swap them. Myself, I like the metal ones. Apparently, even if your friends drive your truck, they probably won’t even notice ?

Lol, your B3/4 membership is about to be revoked. You have driven two of my trucks and didn’t notice? out of seven truck I’ve had, I only had one truck that did not have not the “plastic” (And I pulled them to put on George ?)

I want one! ?

You sure about that?? i read the parts manual different (part #23-14-19) Love ya man! ?

Ken have you tried? https://clestersauto.com I have bought and installed a couple windshields with their gaskets and have been happy. (Spilt windshields) word around the campfire was, some other vendors also purchase from Clesters and resell. ?

That kinda looks like the vacuum check valve for the brake booster to me

in addition to the penetration oil then tighten and loosen a bunch of times. you’ll get it
