Hi Everyone, I have a 1939 1/2 ton Plymouth Pickup. I currently have the wrong engine and transmission, having major issues getting it to fit. I found a nice 1939 Engine and Transmission out of a 39 Plymouth P8 sedan. Would they work? Thanks, Jim

Thanks everyone. I managed to find what I think is the correct front mounting bracket that PLYMJIM shows in his picture. I can not find the rear bellhousing to frame mounting brackets that Jerry Roberts shows in his pics. Anyone have any idea where to look? Thanks again everyone for your responses!! Jim

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have any pic's of what the engine mount brackets should look like for 1 1939 Plymouth truck? I have an engine, transmission, but there are no brackets for the front and rear to mount the engine into the truck. Been trying to piece this back together for a while now. Thanks in advance!! Jim

Hi Everyone, Restoring a 1939 Plymouth Truck, does anyone know what color the transmission should be? Thanks!! Jim

Just realized the gooseneck is pointing to the left, the old one was straight ahead. May have trouble lining it up with the radiator.... Can I just change out the neck? Thanks again!! Jim

I forgot to mention, I also got the transmission, flywheel, starter, etc. Pretty much a complete setup, which is why I wanted to use it. Definitely not a show truck, guy just wants to drive it again in his lifetime Thanks again everyone!! Jim

Well crap, I was told it was an early 40's Dodge engine. Yes, it is a 23" Head. Do you think this would fit into a 39 Plymouth Truck with minimal modifications, or should I start looking for a different engine? Thanks everyone for you help!! Jim

I'm hoping someone can help me. I recently bought an engine for a 1939 Plymouth Pickup.I was told the engine was out of a 1940's Dodge. I want to make sure I order the correct gaskets for it. I found the following numbers on the engine, I'm hoping this could lead to the right gaskets. I did an internet search, but came up with a bunch of different answers. 1484929-46 (Block Casting) 59 7 31 TP23 818 (stamped on pad) 1676337-1 (Head Casting) 1311805 18 (Intake Casting) Thank You James Bradley

Hello Everyone, Does anyone offer rebuilt steering boxes for the above? Or can anyone recommend a good place to get one sent to be rebuilt. Right now I have about 8" to 10" of play, worse when I hity a bump. Tried adjusting the screw on top and removing some of the shims. No luck... Thanks!! Jim

OK, ordered a new generator and after "polarization", I now get 35V out of "A" with "F" grounded, while disconnected from the regulator. As soon as I hook up the regulator, I get about 1.5V out of the generator. I traced the wires from the generator to the regulator and they appear to be hooked up correctly. I quickly grounded "F" while the car was running and the generator jumped up to ~18V output, with ~!6V on the output of the regulator. I only did it for a few seconds, was worried about damaging the generator. Any thoughts? I also tried grounding the case of the regulator, no luck. Thanks, Jim

Did the polarization test as well. The generator spins when hooked up to the 12V. Reinstalled the belt, still only about .5V out....
-
OK, I disconnected the wires to the generator and ran the test shown in the above diagram, got zero out. It is a new BBB 9112 generator, which is supposed to be a good one. Is it possible I got a bad one?
-
My apologies, you are correct. It has the stock amp meter. It is a negative ground system and I did reverse polarity on the meter as part of the conversion. The needle goes negative when I turn on the lights or het the brakes. Is there an easy way to check the generator or regulator to make sure it is outputing? Thanks, Jim

Hi Everyone, I recently did A 12v upgrade on a 48 Plymouth. I used a new 12V generator and regulator, changed out all the bulbs, etc. Everything is working great, except the voltmeter. It is the stock meter and does not show charging. When I turn on the lights, the needle dips. Any suggestions? The charging system seems to be working as the car runs and drives with no issues. Thanks, Jim

Hello everyone, I started this in another topic, but wanted to give it more detail. Last thing, then I can deliver the car!! I am working on a 1948 Plymouth Deluxe. I did a 12V conversion. I have a 6V convertor that I wired into the Clock, Gas Gauge, and Radio. Everything seems to be working great except the gas gauge. I have approximately 6 gallons in the tank (which has a new sending unit). When I start the car, it goes to about 1/2 tank, then drops and goes back up continually. All while the car is standing still. I tried several different grounds on the sending unit, still does the same. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Jim
