    A bit cactus?

    Well, it sounds like I have several options. Thanks guys!

    I've got the remains of what looks like a rubber seal where the fuel tank inlet comes through the bottom of the cab. Replacing the seal won't be a problem, my question is how was the rubber attached to the cab? Is there some sort of frame or a few screws that secure it? I don't see anything on it in the shop manual. The truck is a B4B. Thanks, Gary

    You can also run a shorter jeep shackle on the back and flip the shackle. Drops it about 3".

    Post an ad in the classifieds, plenty of people have extra parts for sale.

    At least beating a dead horse is not as bad as betting on one!

    Here is a link to ID your engine. The number is on the driver's side of the block near the front and should begin with a T. http://www.t137.com/registry/help/otherengines/otherengines.php

    I used the jeep shackle on my '53 on the rear suspension , they are 2.75" between center vs. 4" for the originals. Good price!

    Worked for me.

    I think it is the truck getting even with you for painting her hood. She wants to look like a dignified old gal and not Joan Rivers.

    Here is the link to Monroe. It should have all the info you need. http://www.monroe.com/retail/assets/downloads/english/08_MountingLengthSheet.pdf

    Did you try mounting the calipers toward the rear of the axle? Worked for me, and didn't have to relocate the shocks.
  15. The Oil Soup
    Did the rim from the opposite side run true before you swapped it?

    The PO of my B4B said the truck was shown in the movie The Right Stuff. He purchased it in the mid 80's from a company that provided vehicles to the studios. The truck was originally red, was then painted yellow and then red again. Haven't seen the movie yet so not sure of the story.

    One wire is fine if you're driving a tractor, otherwise three wire for 12 volt. http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/onewire-threewire.shtml

    What is the bed material and who makes it?

    Does anyone know where I could get a switch like that for my heater? My current switch is located on a tab mounted to the underside of the dash and is not working.

    Richard, I think that would look super. Here is the one I put on the drivers door, will most likely put a different one on the passenger side to see which I like better. Gary

    I've got the plastic DODGE on my dash!

    Your truck looks great, are you going to add a faded logo/sign to it? Love the patina.

    Employees with little or no chance of being fired dont have to do a good job.

    My 108 WB B4B (53) running boards are 60.25'' long

    Also on the head and the driver side of the block are dates when the engine was cast.
