1949B-1-C

I have one, pm me your info.

Thank you all for the replies! What was the cost of the DCM one? Did it come with the tie rod ends or do you just get a bar and supply your own?

Has anyone ever bought the rare parts new drag link part # 25594 for 48-53’s? I searched and could find any feedback in them. I though I had a good used one on a chassis I have but It seems to be about the same as what I have. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just wanted to follow up with my tank install. Instead of enlarging the hole in the floor for the fuel filler neck I ordered a 2 1/4” x 2” straight filler neck adapter (part # FN-2.25) for the tank, a 2 1/4” x 60° fuel hose (part # NE-60L) and a 3/8” x 5/16” inverted flare adapter (part # BF56) all from tanks inc. Using those parts and trimming the hose to fit allowed me to not have to cut the floor and everything bolted in perfect. I cannot say enough about the product from tanks Inc. the fuel tank sending unit and hose/adapters were perfect everything works and looks great. Just wanted to share as I thought this may help someone out in the future thank you

Has Anybody else had this issue? Have you tried a right angle grease fitting coupler? Anybody else have any feedback on these u joints

Thanks Merle! Looks like this swap should go pretty easy for me!

Just removed the tank from my B1C tonight. I do not have that same rear bracket, it was different. It just mounts to the side of the frame, basically an L bracket for the rear to bolt to. Is that because my truck is a 116” wheel base and does not utilize a crossmember for mounting?If so it looks very easy to swap in a 39/47 tank. Any body have any input, because I for sure don’t have that same rear bracket! Thanks

I have a frame from a 51 or 52 3/4 ton if you are interested. Where are you located?

Are the dual horns a rare option? My truck has them and I always thought it was how they all were

Not sure if it's factory or not, but mines on the driver's side. I am leaning towards not factory, pretty sure I have parts of and under bed mount still under the bed! Unless they did both back then. I like them mounted on the side, especially with a nice hubcap!

What's your plans for the original 3/4 ton brake drums?

Mine had 15" wheels and it is a 3/4 ton

Thank you! Please let us know!

Here is the tire on my '48, not sure if it is factory or not but I like it!

48 dodge truck with optional heater, cannot find 1.5" heater ductwork from heater outlet to defroster. Where have you guys gotten it?! Thank you.

Thanks! I will post pics of the spare tire carrier when I have it out next. And yes, she does get parked inside these days! I think 60+ years outside was enough!

Good afternoon all, I have had my truck for about a year and a half and have decided to post some pictures! Started out as a barn find farm truck from Kansas that was brought to Ohio a few years back. That owner did nothing with it until I purchased it as it was when it came from Kansas. Did all of the usual work such as brake overhaul, cooling system, fuel system ETC to get her going. Been driving it consistently for about a year, and it runs and drives great! It's a 1948 B1C, 4 speed. As original as it can get. I love the original patina and it gets looks everywhere it goes. I am pretty much done with the big work, now just fine tuning some stuff. I know my user name says '49, but it was until after I discovered it was actually a '48! Feel free to ask questions and enjoy!

Hey just trying to help someone out, I know this is old but I came across an NOS u joint 1238416. I was told it was for a 3/4 ton but it's obviously not. I did advertise it but I know it was brought up here so I figured I would let everyone know.

Hello! I just replaced my rear inner axle seals and outer bearings. Everything reinstalled and went back together fine however I was just wondering if there is or should be a small amount of end play? After doing a little bit of driving I noticed a small amount of and play developed just wondering if this is normal. It is the same on both sides thank you for any help

I know this is old, but has anyone tried either of the above universals? I am in need for a 48 3/4 ton. Just looking for some input. Thanks!

I would be interested in the brake drums if they are in good shape! Did you get them off by chance?

Any more info on this conversion? Im not opposed to it by any means

Hello, I am new to these trucks, I have a 1948 B-1-C. I need new front brake drums, mine are cracked. Can someone answer a few questons for me? Are the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton brakes/drums different? I know I am going to have a hard time finding drums, any help would be appreciated. Thanks
