Use the 10W. Check your tranny, mine has a tag attached to use 10W. Did you try the search feature at the top for Fluid Drive?
-
You could try Classified Wanted. Be more specific with your model, doors, and pieces needed. Use pictures.
-
Good project for LH conversion. Looks like they pulled in nicely. You didn't have the wheel alignment pin? Why the need to grind the rivet.
-
You got the fun part right. Get out there and stomp the gas.

Mr. Cheapo just measured, got some decent material, and made one, $5.
-
That looks like work so early. Need a Reuben Sandwich first. If the season says eggs, where do the rabbits fit in?
-
My '49 was grumpy too, but got them to lift up and out. Yes it's a tight fit under than vent latch.
-
Sunshine, blue sky enhance the cool ride. Big smiles now.
-
I'd venture to say the material is the same as the door/kick panels. Check a local upholstery shop.
-
If it works, use them. Probably available, but don't know a name/number to order more. Those were on my door/kick panels.

I'd say a shipper could get you the one non-running truck for less than half that amount. Would they consider a refundable deposit to "hold" it for a week while you think? Does the price change without the other one? Sight unseen deal. I would lean toward stock which means finding & rebuilding running gear. Would take a lot of research for your other option. Any trucks local for the wife to get in/ride for the "feel" of it beforehand. Work and money involved. Your call.

Is the shaft it goes on square?
-
Good find. That's a great start for a fun cruiser. Questions welcome as you learn.
-
No difference, just some fabrication to attach the new one after removing the old. Make sure the new socket matches the pin offset of your bulbs.
-
Can't answer about countries. Anything close here? http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?year=1956&con=y&model=Dodge Truck&rows=50

I would be looking for a new wheel. Less work. Shipping can't be a good thing.
-
Always hear a sigh of relief when something works.
-
They are indeed projects. Be ready. But have fun. There are other disk brake kits available.Make that decision before you start, buy once. 10W30 is a popular oil. Keep posting your progress/questions.
-
Did you need the 6V adapter?
-
Enjoy the Mopar party. I can't work out in the cold either.
-
Some simple cutting with less expensive materials and you'll be in business.
-
I also ordered some decent rubber mat material. Cut to size & glued it down. Did not replace any metal like original.
-
My 49 Chrysler words are on the trunk chrome, and I redid that in original black. Take your time.
-
Maybe yes, maybe no.
-
Great. Is the driver a finished project?
