  1. anybody have a guess on paint codes for the dark blue?
  2. I have a 51 3/4 ton that I have had for almost 50 years. It had a fresh light blue paint job when I bought it that is now due for a refresh. Interior is a dark blue and appears original. was the exterior the same? the truck came out with a flat bed but has a pickup box now. I have seen some with a black box, is that correct?
  3. am in the middle of it now, cab is off. ended up making my own mounts. using some thru bolt donuts from Speedway.Didn't want to cut out the steering brace in the frame.could have modified some small block mounts if I had. made the rear crossmember too. am using a '58 315 hemi from a truck and the 4speed from the same unit. offset it 2"to get some steering gear clearance. am going to recess the firewall about an inch, that will put the back of the transmission where the old one was. using the original clutch pedal and making a brake pedal and moving the master cyl behind the pedal .using an 8 3/4 Mopar rear out of a 73 pickup so the old wheels will fit.
  4. I have a 51 3/4 ton pickup that I am restoring and repowering. I am using a 1957 315 hemi from a truck that has bellhousing with side motor mounts and the original 4 speed from the big truck. am debating on whether to use this setup or update to a more modern transmission and use the later side motor mounts.
  5. finally got around to opening up the truck motor. going to take some work, 2 cylinders have a lot of rust. mouse nest in the valley on the lifters. motor has no numbers stamped in the block. casting # is 1739429-4. heads are 1823129-1. has part of a tag that says it was a factory rebuilt unit. what motor is this?
  6. I have a hemi and transmission from a 57 Dodge 2 ton truck. it is a Dodge motor. what cubic inch would it be? I also have a 57 dodge car engine, D500 option. is it similar to the truck motor. would like to put one in my 51 pickup.
  7. I have a 1951 pickup with a bad engine and would like to install a hemi and transmission from a '57 Dodge truck. how much trouble to make this swap? will it clear the steering?
