I have a 50 business coupe(or think I may). How do I find out for sure what year it is? Also, I know it's not a p15 or d24, but what would it be then? I am finding parts grease-penned with '52 here and there as I tear it apart, makes me wonder.
-
Petronics(sp?).
-
Check into getting it soda blasted.
-
Broke my leg in '83, mom spent $13,000 to get me a couple screws installed. Pricey as hell, but they have not rusted yet.
-
I like how the bumper matches the look of the car(all roundy and stuff).
-
Nice! Is that a stock bumper(back). My 50 has a different one, and now I have the bumper envy.
-
Now that I have a plan, I have a new question. I want to replace all the external seals while I have it out, can I just remove the pieces that have seals under them, and replace the seals, or is it going to erupt, with gizzards flying everywhere, as soon as I get the bolts off. Also, got any trusted sources for the seals?
-
Mmm...Smorgas.

Damn! You must be a crafty somuvabitch.

Is it a difficult swap? I can weld a hairpin to tin foil, but I'm no machinist.
-
Oh...A t5...I don't speak fluent chevinese. That must have been a fun project, but I can't have my friends seeing me with chevy parts on the mopar.
-
Color me dumb, but, what's a T-5?
-
I think I have a plan. Just going to build my own shifter system, using some of the stock linkages(modified) and an after market 3sp. floor shifter. It will not be as nice as a factory swap of some type, but what the hell.
-
"Do you think we'll need a 12 pack or a full case?" My dad has problems, but he knows his 60's-70's Mopars.
-
That's a good point. I just want to shift from the floor, that column shifting is tiring.
-
I am pulling the the motor and three speed tranny out of my 49 plymouth p18 to put in my 50 dodge biz-coupe. But now I am thinking of swaping the the trans. for a top shifter. What are my best options for a donor vehicle? A truck of the same era? Or maybe it's just linkage swap I need? Any tips or advice.
-
I've heard stories about pouring oil in the spark plug holes and soaking it for a while and then pulling it with another rig and popping the clutch. Not sure I would do it, but it would be fun to watch.
-
Pretty much what you just mentioned, plus there seems to be alot of small stuff that interchanges. The 50 was saved from a wrecker, and is missing most anything that was bolted on. After the reassembly, I will start the sheet metal restoration. I wish the 50 was in as good shape as the 49.
-
Sounds like the wire that runs thru the steering shaft might be shorting.

I am in Portland Oregon(hence rustbucket). I am a second generation mopar man, with a little sickness for aircooled vw's too. I have a 49 Plymouth Special Deluxe, and the current apple of my eye, my '50 Dodge Business Coupe. I am pulling everything I can off of the Plymouth to complete my Dodge, then I can take it all back apart!
-
Thanks guys! I suspected something of that nature, but I wanted to be sure before I got into it. I am anticepating a struggle and possibly a few curse words.

Hey I got a '50 dodge bizzcoupe, and I can't figure out how to remove the door locks gracefully.
