Im talking 1/2 ton truck for 1949

Does anyone know the right size rim size for a 49 is it 15 or 16 inch for the spair tire rim ? Can you identify from this pic if one is for a 49. I think 49 has 16 and 51 had 15s anyone know?

Anyone ever find a video for how to install front split winshield glass?

None of feedbacks helped. The person who helped the most in person was rod and paul f. I tried all the b.s. soaking mystery oil brake fluid , tranny fluid, looked like the crank lug was damaged it the pics so couldnt realy find the right size to fit it trying to use a socket to manual crank.also tried a pry bar on the starter hole but wouldnt move. The fly weel looked rusty color compaired to my 49. I also went as far as to pull the truck with another truck on the road and had someone try to shift it in gear. What actually happed it it started to drag when the driver was trying to shift it in gear in motion about 30mph. Eventualy the rear weel fell off due to the lugnuts not being in properly and some missing. The weel went flying then rolling down the road .luckily it didnt hit anthing like a car or person .after that we had to push the truck on 3 weels and put the tire that came off back on. That was the last straw for time and effort i will put into the truck. Luckily some one made me a cash offer that weekend and i jumped on it cosidering its frozen motor that i dont have time for, was missing a raidator and alot of resteration was needed. Still got my 49 and working on it. Im gonna try and sell it for top dolar considering i am in no rush to sell it and it runs. I do appreciate all the resposes people give to help. Its just i didnt have what it takes to get her to live. The buyer is giving it to his daughter for sweet 16 after he fixes it. He has alot more resources then me and deeper pockets to fix it. So it went to a good home and he said he isnt gonna do no chopping. I was hoping someone from this site was gonna step up and take it on but it just sat in the classified section without a single offer. I tried .

I like the look of a tire on the side of a truck .but i think they didnt have that in 49 it was only on the bottom. Has anyone ever goten away with mounting a tire on the side od a 47-51. What years and model dodges did they do that.? What special mounting pieces does it need.?

It's for a truck thats not seized. I ordered it so hoping it goes well.he already shipped same day.

Found a source that might be helpful to everyone has anyone ordered from this person before it looks like he might have what I need I haven't called Power Wagon yet because they're closed. http://www.oldmoparts.com/parts-cooling.aspx

I think I have a seased motor. How do I crank it over. It looked like it has been damaged . Does anyone know the Correct way to crank it from the motor. I put in a starter and it wasnt cranking over I think it could be stuck or ill have the starter checked for enough power. Looking at these picks it looks like a socket .i tried 1 1/2 and it didnt work. is it a specialy size socket or am I cranking it wrong. is mine too damaged.??
