Hey Old CWO , Yepp, I have a couple. First bring good walking shoes LOTS to see, acres of parts. Second, SKIP the first Six (6) rows { all VW parts }. Not alot of Vintage Mopar parts but there are some scattered around. If you are into Vintage or Modern Motor Cycles there is a BIG Swap meet at El Camino College in Torrance. It will be held the Saturday before Pomona ( 12 Oct. 2019 ). It is too bad you will not be in CA on October 26, 2019. The BIG MOPAR Fall Fling Swap meet happens. Way too many parts to take home.

untilThis is one of the Biggest Mopar Swapmeets on the west coast. Dig thru boxes of rusty oily parts, So much darn fun. I get there at sunrise and done before noon. Lots to see and buy. Have met a few forum members there , Hope to meet more.

1953 Dodge 'coupe' truck project
RodFru2u replied to Desotodav's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Davin, Sorry to hear after all the time & money invested so far the low life bums have not finished the job. You did right by yanking it out of there . I have no doubt you will finish this project in time and it will be spectacular . Good luck & look forward to seeing you in 2020 . Rod -
Nice looking tuck , Welcome to the Forum. Good to see you are keeping your Grandson busy part of the day getting greasy. That;s what being young is all about. He will remember this time all his life.

The " Cleveland Style " U joints are straight forward, bend down locking tabs then use 7/16 box wrench to remove. Mark the relationship of driveshaft to rear end and transmission, otherwise you might get vibrations @. High Speeds. On my truck there was enough play / movement to slide the shaft clear enough to remove . A VERY easy job that can be done in one afternoon with all the parts there I ordered mine from Roberts Motors last year $ 150.00 + Shipping ordered on Monday , delivered by Wednesday afternoon,Back on the road Wednesday night

Hot Rod Tractor, I had been Looking for set of SS bars for my '50 B2B for MANY years. Found the top ones from a (new) friend he only charged me $20 each for the top two SS they were pretty beat up & missing mounting brackets. I searched all over the US for bottom bar, the prices range from $ 1.200-1,400 restored for all three on flea bay .A few gentlemen from this forum had been keeping an eye out for me as well.

Hey all computer experts, Lucky me picked up a 7 year old Samsung Tablet last week. I was able to see this website but no where is there a place/location on the screen to " Sign In " that I can find. I have been able to sign in on the apple devices I have used , the windows computers seem to work no problems also. Any of the Android Experts out in the WWW have any ideas I can check? Thanks for any and all help, Rod
