I never even think about the miles, runs well, keep an eye on oil, water temp and bring tools. Enjoy the view as we sit up higher in our pilothouses.

I bet Tim has one of those passenger side panels kicking around. I had a rusted driver side panel that I patched but no such luck on passenger side. There are a lot contours on that part. Tim do you have a spare?? Thanks.

Sorry forgot to mention this is for a B2B.

Hello, happy new year. I am working on repairing my running boards, adding patch panel and replacing c channel support. I have the drivers side done, I had to repair the front panel that bolts to fire wall, right fender and running boards. Now I am onto the passenger side. Does anyone have a picture or diagram of passenger piece that connects running board to front right fender and fire wall, is it mirror image of driver side? Here is what I found.

Oil, hmmm, do they need oil? Whatever is on sale at Napa. That’s has been my thought for my B2B and my ‘29 model AA Ford truck. It’s only oil, the machine tolerances aren’t such that you need anything special.

Acquired a 1950 Pilothouse to go with my '50 Meadowbrook

Question on the color of your truck, do you have any info on it?? Thanks -
I had a very similar problem with my rebuild. Changed everything start up no problem, idle no problem, but under load no so great. What I discovered is that the wire to the coil was not getting the voltage it needed. So i replaced that wiring and everything came alive. The coil has input and out specs, easy to check with volt meter, i just waited for it to be way down on my list of causes. Good Luck.

Hi, I have a 218 in a b1b, I am burning oil and am looking to solve this but I use the truck, so I hope to do this in stages. What I am asking is your advice of which I should do first? Some data. When I start the truck, the oil pressure goes right to 40 psi and holds for a while. Then when the motor gets to temp 160F, the pressure drops to 10 psi. The truck runs great, 55 mph all day long, 65 mph on highway. If I down shift or step on it, I get a rich plume of oily smoke. I think rings are the real culprit but value all your insights, so your advice is appreciated. Thanks.

When I got my b1b the material that touches the door window glass when it goes up and down on the outside was missing. The metal support was there but no felt or rubber. Wanting to fix this but not pay a lot, I found that 3M makes a weather striping that fits perfect. You get 16’ of it for $7.00 free shipping on amazon. I got gray but comes in black. Sorry for Japanese packing, I bought it on line while I was in Japan, so that’s why I think they sent that one. Here is some pics

Wow, lots of great advice. How will I know if it is an nos seal or a newer seal? Dodge logo, part number stamped on face? Thanks
-
Oh, so that is what that is. I will remove it and clean it up. I’m sure it’s clogged with dirt/grease.
-
On my b1b, where does one get a speedy seal and where exactly is the axle breather? Thanks for the help.

Hi, I have a slow leak coming from around where the u joint meets the rear end. Any thoughts what I need to replace. I have never touched the rear other than brakes. Thanks

Pepperell MA parade.

My kayaks are 14’ and we like to only have to lift them bed high. Fast on fast off. Works for us.
-
So I have made my rack. Here are the pictures. Works well. I have 1” pipe running length of the bed and pinned when closed. I the unpin it and pull out 4’ and I have another pin hole to keep it at that length, I have 3.5’ of counterlever so very stable. Sorry if the pictures don’t do it justice. When I go kayaking next time will shoot better picture.
-
What I noticed if I use the outer screws, that is the one to the far left and far right and leave out the middle two, everything works great. If I install all four then the door doesn’t close well. Just what I see on my truck. Best of luck.

Does the door hinge go over or under cardboard insert?

Hi, I need to haul two ~14’ kayaks in the back of my shortbed B2B. I was thinking of using 1” pipe 8’ long stuffed into bed tube on top of bed connecting the two pipes with crossmember and 90 degree elbows. When stuffed in they would be flush with tailgate and stick out of front of bed enough to use a pin to keep it from falling out. Then I would pull out 4’ and pin mid bed. I could the slide in kayaks and attach nose of kayak to extended pipe from underneath. I think it should work well, even good for lumber. Has anyone tried this? What am I missing? Thanks for your consideration.

I am not a tire guy, so you don’t measure from lip of the rim?

There is a tab that is welded to the door sill that the vent pillar bolts to. If it is there a non vent window would hit it. So I think there were two doors. As for the custom features, yes I have both driver and passenger side sun visor, heater, seat ride comfort damper, and radio. A real rich mans truck, ha ha.

Sorry Here is whole truck pic

When I salvaged my truck from its previous owner, who had it buried in a side hill, it came with two different doors. So the question I have is which is right. As you can see the drivers side door has no vent and the passanger side does. Not sure which is original, too many coats of paint to tell. I heard on a another truck line (Chevy) that vent windows didn't come out till 1952, well this is a '50 B2B. So I was wondering is this the same for Dodge. As you can see this is a driver, I use it as my farm truck, so no parades or shows, just original 218 and all stock as much as I can afford, or else I use what I can get away with, used tires from a Jeep in the rear, Napa mirrors, this list goes on. Again just wondering. Presentation1.pdf

I added one a while back on my ‘50. I don’t use vacuum advance, and installed per instruction, no issues. I ran the wires through vacuum advance hole. Good luck.
