    I have done a few vehicles using the napa lines but never measured the lines used, always think about it after job is done. I usually measure and figure what works best besides they do not always have the size you need in stock. On the trucks the only hard bend is the one coming off the mc I think VPW does sell that line prebent but with a little trial and error I got it to fit. Also be aware that in addition to metric the a stand thread that uses a bubble flare which will not work for you.

    Its amazing the old equipment that is still out there. As for auto chokes I just do not like them and wind up converting to a hand choke. That way if my vehicle gets me mad I can choke it

    Depending on what state you live in a incorrect vin# could be a problem. Do the numbers on title for the vehicle have match the plate on the door jam

    I as recall that car is a work in progress but I think it will need some new tires once you get it on the road

    Harold there is a locksmith in Freehold boro I think it is B&E. He has made a few keys from cylinders for me (door for a model T, trunk key for a 52 Plymouth and a few others) Not sure how he does it but not to expensive I think $10-15 including the key its been a few years back ed

    Others will help you figure out the serial # however if there is a doubt in your mind that it is not the car for you pass it by there are more out there.

    As I already had a copy I ordered a returned existing stock copiy today. Figured I could use the extra $25 to renew my DPETCA membership http://dodgepilothouseclub.org/member/member.htm

    I recently replaced a brake switch with one that I got from speedway. It is made by painless and does have a different set of pins but for $14.00 it comes with a adapter with slip connectors. Wires look to be more in the 12 volt size but no problems with the switch see below links http://images.speedwaymotors.com/RS/SR/Alternative/91031305~1_L.jpg http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Pressure-Brake-Switch,1971.html

    just taking a shot here but maybe the brake rod that goes to the dual mc may have not been long enough to push the fluid in the front reservoir.

    There should be a tag on the drivers door that will give you model and wheelbase with the 6 lug wheels it would be a 1 ton. Yes the doors will swap the vent windows were a option. Try the link below for some basic information http://dodgepilothouseclub.org/know/know.htm

    If you need to sell the parts best thing is to list them in the parts for sale section with a price you think is fair. Naturally the less you ask the faster the parts will move. List the engine parts in both the trucks and cars pars for sale sections.

    I get covers from a local chain type auto store relativly inexpensive about $ 70.00. For my truck I am presently using to older car covers one for the cab and one for the bed. But I think something that would cover a large suv should work for the complete truck .

    That is a good looking truck, even has nice hub caps
  17. oldmopar
    That is a good looking truck and the original spare parts is a great find. As to the brakes I will repeat here a replay I made to another posting. Dealing with single cylinder master cylinders best option is to change every brake component. Its really a matter of safety no brakes you crash

    As the others said replace the lines I have done many with vehicles on jack stands. I also use preformed lines and a few extra couplings . Dealing with single cylinder master cylinders best option is to change every brake component. Its really a matter of safety no brakes you crash and that is a lot more expensive and time consuming.

    The repair manual does show the larger drum and longer lining for the 1 ton and the parts manual makes a reference to the 4 speed using the 21" lining.
  20. oldmopar
    Its more then the bolt pattern its also the setback, center hole for hub and for the rears it would have to fit over a large drum I forget the exact size but something like 15 15-1/2" But if they do fit please post it

    Last year I had put up a poll about truck models got 91 replies see link below. Bob Koch who runs the DPETCA would have a number count on members but not sure how that would equate to actual trucks. http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=18817&highlight=poll It would be great if there was a online regerestry like for some of the other Dodge trucks. http://www.t137.com/registry/display.php?serial=83902623

    The yahoo group type forums have a web only option where you can read it on the site and not have it emailed to you

    I installed one last year in the suburban it is the only pump I use but being lazy I hooked it up on the right inner fender and it pumps fine.
