Brent B3B

Yeah, I am not ?

I swear I have seen them before but, now I can’t locate them either if Steel doesn’t pan out give Vic a call https://vicsdodgegarage.com

For me, I am happy with the 215/85/16 i put on my B4D and on yours, it doesn’t look like you’ll need to worry about the rears rubbing together ?

Lol, note to self… before you fill up a 550ga tank of water to drive around the neighborhood, make sure the PO didn’t build the custom bed with the “c” channel directly over the rear tires I was so busy looking at the overloads, I didn’t think to check the bed clearance ? As soon as the load shifted, I was stopped! gots to do me a little modification at some point ?

Looking for some clarification on the 1 ton rear overload set up between years. in doing some work on the B4D, I saw the drivers side overload springs had a “bend” in them where they hit the stops. (And the stops are riveted on) just didn’t look right so, I went over to the B3D (51) chassis to look at a possible swap and they showed different (Beefier set up on the 51) my question is, how are other 1 tons set up? Are the stops riveted or bolted? Are there any other bent overload springs? Kinda seems weird someone would cut off the riveted stops off the 51 and I can’t imagine what it would take to bend two springs on the 53

Hey Robert, I rode along after you did.... you got sap all over the seat and the door handles! What the heck?

Good point, thanks 48!

Well shoot Brad, I was hoping to “hot rod” you around the track in my one ton.... speaking of suds, I washed the one ton last weekend (the “day” it was dry) and Julie just laughed and laughed at me ? I guess she found humor in me washing a rusted/ dented truck..... It’s all good though, I removed the passengers side visor ? can’t wait!

LOL, I think you might be on to something there…. if when you say Oregon you mean CA last year

Because it sits on the backside of the throttle lever, I never noticed how worn the “link” on the B&B carbs can get. On one of mine, I stuck a little weld on the worn area. Figured a little weld would outlast the link might be worth checking out before the driving season

Update? ?

Lol, what episode did you see? Was it the one where he was being followed and had to loose them, or he one when he gets punched in the gut? ?

i like this pic of a content kitty Hey, I know Linda likes to read but geez, let her know they do make a portable book light. ?

Whoo hoo! Room is booked! 4.9miles away this year… Taking a loan out next weekend to fill up the fuel tanks ? how much is diesel running in CA right now?

Not a movie but, Julie and I just finished binge watching “Rockford files” and in looking for something different, found “Movin’ on” with Chet Adkins with in the first three minutes kinda looks like our B4D except for the factory bed, cab lights and that Desoto grill bar look. btw, don’t watch… he laid it on its side right after this shot ☹️

I call it patina lol, just “weather” the decal with a chain, like they do furniture ?

Gosh this thread makes me happy! I love it when guys geek out on these trucks. Good job JB! Stay tuned for your new challenge ?

I use the 5/16” tubing. I believe The fitting you have is supposed to be threaded into the filter if you don’t have or want to use a different filter set up, the carb kits come with a female fitting or you can buy the separate at places like https://www.carburetor-parts.com/search.asp?keyword=Dte2+ or try Napa ? I use inverted flared tube nut for 5/16” tube 1/2x20 thread from the pump to the filter

Anything worth going to the mill Wally? no idea what hemlock is worth… just curious About 8mo ago my neighbor (also a logger) and I were talking about lumber prices and he said at the time, fir was going for $1000. Per 1000! in my area

What did you find David? could help the next guy….

Another great rear bumper, Gotta find that rear bumper thread and add it ?

Better? https://youtu.be/7omJSy1oSC4

Wonder if the needle seat to the float is stuck?

here is a photo from the front bumper, on the pass side of my HH looking back twords the rear I might retake the photo tomorrow…. The flash gave it a weird reticulation effect ?
