Nice Truck. Its the first one I've seen like mine with the small back widow. Mine is a 50. I see yours needs some turn signals on the fenders. I found these on ebay and love them. They look so cool on the truck and unique i think. Have fun with your new toy it looks great!

Thanks for all the info guys.

So I have a 1950 half ton. Its geared super low 45 mph is about top speed for it. Recently 2 miles up the road I found what im guessing to be a 55 or 56 1/2 ton dodge truck in really rough shape. Do you think it would be geared higher?

Funny note.... This was an old farm truck. they did what they had to keep them running. The oil sump is opposite of what it should be for a truck so "back in the day" they just modified the pan with a hammer for clearance issues.

That's good advice thanks, I have bought from roberts before. I will look for the old post on the pan gasket.

so where would be the best place to buy main seals and oil pan gasket?

In the resources I found this. Does this mean my engine is a 46, 47, or 48?

Our 1950 Dodge truck has a Plymouth engine. When we bought the truck it still had a jasper tag fastened under one of the head bolts. The main seals are leaking pretty bad and we would like to replace them. So I would like to identify what year of plymouth engine this is. Maybe its not possible I dont know. Can any of you experts out there help.? I have included a photo. PI5*36697T

Thanks Guys, I agree I think the spring is defective

Okay, so I have searched the "resources" section about heat risers. We cannot get ours to work properly. We think the new spring I bought is defective. When cold it appears to be hooked up correctly but when hot it doesn't open and the spring seems to get tighter. Any advice? I've read some other threads on the net and it seems there are some defective springs out there.

thanks guys, my line is metal and really small diameter. Its had some sort of repair that looks shady lol at some point and time.

It's been a while since i posted anything but have a quick question: My oil line going to my oil pressure gauge is showing its age. Not sure i want to trust it anymore and was wondering where some of you have bought your replacement? I've searched the forums and also looked online at andy's and roberts. Any suggestions?

What did the 8 cylinder look like?

Another pic of me and the 47. I regret not buying it. Oh well.

Hello All I thought I would share this with you. This past Saturday we went to an estate auction. The only reason I drove 3 hours to get there was to bid on this 1947 Chrysler town and Country. All original not running. The only thing I noticed missing was the trunk latch and air cleaner. Floors were solid with paint still on them under the original carpet. Color was light green with a dark green two tone interior. I wasn't really looking for one of these but what a time capsule! No I was not the winning bidder. It sold for 11,000. One question, The head had "Spitfire" cast on the top. I've seen this somewhere before. What cars received this motor and what was the difference over the standard flat six?
