Had my issues with my 1 1/2 ton Dodge. Fuel, spark, etc..
Today it ran for the first time since I have had it home.
Shut her down because the coolant hoses gave out a week or so ago.
I was thinking, since the wiring is all junk anyway.. why not just pop a 12v instead of the 6 so i don't have to jump it everytime? The generator isn't putting juice into the battery anyway. Once I rewire it I will probably make it 12volts although the jury is still out on that one.
I finally found the serial number stamped on the engine.. I was looking on the side and it was on top of the little piece it is supposed to be on.
It looks like numbers have been filed out and then very clearly is stamped 53 space 568 space 93 .
I am completely new to the 1948 Dodge 1 1/2 ton dually I just bought.
It is a Model B-1-FA128, ser# 80325551. It has split gears and a PTO. There's no bed on it but I believe it may have been a dumptruck or something because it is short compared to a grain truck or something like that but I don't know.
Anyway. It is a "Spitfire" engine with "1313826-2" and a diamond with NH (the left leg of the H is the right leg of the N).
On the drivers side of the block about mid engine it has "49" and below that it has "2-16". On the pipe that runs fuel from the carb to the head it has "112170" with what may be a short slash in front of the first number. There is a raised piece similar to a rounded off bolt except it is part of the pipe. After that nipple it has "7".
These are all the numbers I can find.
