1953 Dodge B1B Pilot House Front End Question
53b1bpickup replied to 53b1bpickup's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Thanks. I did not realize I put it in the wrong spot! -
I want to put disc brakes on my pickup and need input from this group. Is a Mustang II front end still the way to go? And if so, which manufacture is recommended? Thank you, Dave

I have had the rear axle off my 53 Dodge pickup for a couple years and about to reinstall it. Does anyone have a schematic or a picture so I ensure I do it correctly? Memory is rusty.... Thanks.

53 b1b Pilothouse Front & Rear

Thank you both for your feedback. I am wanting to keep it pretty basic to start. Reliable and functional and then determined next steps. -
I am finally serious about working on the truck. Want to have disc brakes all around. Rad in the forums that a Cerokee or wrangler 2000 or later rear end is a good swap. For the front suspension, is the Mustang II the way to go? I.would like to lock down the specifics before starting up. Thanks.

The rear brake bleeders on my truck are frozen. I have placed generous amounts of liquid wrench on them over a couple weeks. Looks like whoever had it last rounded the corners off so I can't get a good socket grip on them. How would you go about getting them loose? Thanks.

Thanks for the guidance. I will search for the articles you referenced. I want to get the truck reliable and functional. II appreciate the feedback!

I need your input. I have a 1953 pilot house with a flathead 6. The front suspension is shot as is the brakes and the rear end. The front suspension is worn out as well. The body is n remarkably good shape. I want to upgrade the axle, brakes, and steering, and suspension so I can have a good daily driver. What has worked well for the members here? I could use some direction from those that know. Thank you.
