I have the cowl vent lever and brace for 46-48, Also 51 Plymouth rear spring shackles, bolts? and a spring found in the trunk of the 51. Free, the cost shipping on you.

Yes chrome is worse.

I have a heak of a time taking photos of black items.

These were on my 48 Power wagon when I got it and Vintage Power Wagons sells them for $24 ea. I had 7 so I found a lot on ebay that were similar but turned out to be larger. I am actually selling those on ebay right now (rope hooks) for $5 ea

I forgot to mention that the part number was covered up when the steering wheel was restored.

I have a beautiful Steering Wheel that I am unsure of what truck it fits. Using Vintage Power Wagons steering wheel page, The taper of 11/16 to 3/4 is the closest. They translate that to 48-50 Pilot House 1/2, 3/4, and 1 ton. There is also a Dodge truck 1946-47 Steering wheel on Ebay that has the same keyway locations. It has 2 keyways, 180 degrees opposed and 1 in line with a spoke. The span is 17 inch. I bought this for a 1948 Dodge power wagon and the tapered hole is too small. I ended up buying a new steering from VPW so I don't need this one but need to be sure what it is.

This is the post from a power wagon owner from the Power Wagon Forum. Hello Scott, My steering wheel measures 11/16" Diam. at the top and 3/4" Diam. at the bottom. Part number on the wheel is CC#573954. My parts book lists it for use in the VC military trucks and the WC military contract 4x2 trucks. I'm sure it was also used in all 39-47 civilian WC 1-2 and 3/4 ton trucks. Mine measures the same. A guy came over my house today who has a 54 dodge truck and he had photos of 3 different steering wheels and one of them was identical to the one i have. He was not 100% certain it would fit his 54 but interesting he has a photo in his phone of one like mine.

I sent this steering wheel to vintage power wagons and they decided that it was too nice and was afraid their fixture would mar it. They seemed to think it had been professionally restored. and was for a 1'2 ton civilian. The original Part number was covered during the restoration. I remeasured the hole and the bottom is 3/4 and the top is 11/16. I used telescoping gauges since my calipers don't have long enough arms to reach into the bore. I added a couple more pictures which can be seen at http://imageevent.com/havefundone.jsp;jsessionid=8oc8yr4ne1.cow_s?url=steeringandsuspension&f=&num=2&tr=2&us=scott56 Vintage Power Wagon catalog page shows varios sterring wheels https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxzO_Oy1EMLIMmYzOF9yVTd3TUk/view I would like someone who needs it to end up with it as i need to buy the correct one for my truck and VPW is out of stock

I ended up sending the steering wheel to Vintage Power Wagons and they will enlarge the tapered hole and broach the keyway for around $30.

No splines, just tapered hole with keyways. Not ready to part with it yet until i find a replacement. Went to a steering shop that i know has rebuilt the steering box for a power wagon but they did not have the tapered reamer to enlarge the hole.

I purchased a new looking steering wheel at a swap meet and three years later when I tried to install it, the hole was too small, 3/4 inch at the top. My deteriorated 1948 Power wagon steering wheel has a 13/16 hole. The diameter is 15 inches and both steering wheels look identical. The power wagon website folks have suggested it is for a 2 wheel drive truck. no parts number on it. Repro? Thanks

worked great. I just put some in a 218 and let sis overnight. This engine had been left outside for 20 years according to the owner. Turned over very easily. I am not sure it wouldn't turn without the marvel because I didn't try it. but this engine was pretty rusty and crusty. I had to cut half the head bolts off because their heads were rusted to half their size.

Since this started with the Marvel Mystery Oil, I'll add my two cents. I have used it several times to add in thru the sparkplug holes to soak the pistons before manually turning/freeing an unknown engine. I bought the plastic, approx 1 qt bottle. A year later I picked up the bottle to use some and the cracked and fell apart. This was stored inside the garage in sunny California. I like the stuff but they need a different bottle.

Thanks to all for the advice. The biggest issue was the engine appeared to be seized. More than half of the head bolts nuts needed to be cut off since they were rusted to round. I put a little marvel Mystery Oil on top of each cylinder and let it sit for a day. This morning I tried a big screwdriver on the flywheel teeth and the engine turned over much easier than I figured. Got the bell-housing, clutch and fluid drive unit off very easily. Not bad once you can see what is going on.
