Almost done! I am 99% done with the wagon, which is a good thing since Woodies on the Wharf in Santa Cruz, is only 10 days away! My son Jeff is helping me do the final door fitment, reattach the running boards, and do the final systems check. We painted it in my shop 2 weeks ago, and I plan to take it to my cousin's tire shop on Monday to have the alignment checked and to make sure I didn't leave out some critical component. We plan to drive it to the show from home (Sanger), a 300 mile round trip, and just heard that the weather will be hot that day-107 degrees, so we will be leaving early. I need one last part and I'm not sure exactly what it looks like-it's the spare tire holder-the metal piece that rotates down on to the spare to hold it in place. Plymouth mounted the spare inset into the back of the front seat, so it's definitely unusual. Something about being more easily accessible for the ladies, I think. Any Plymouth woodie owners out there have a pic? Cheers! Bob

I'm going a bit crazy, trying to identify a rattle noise that sounds like it's coming from the tranny. I have a stock P10 transmission mated to one of George Asche's OD units. Everything works fine, I can get to any of the gears, acceleration is good (for a 75 year old wagon), but it always sounds like there is something loose on acceleration or deceleration, and under normal driving loads. I've sorted through other possible causes; shifting mechanism, clutch, sheet metal attachment points, parking brake cable, and fluid level in the tranny and OD, with no change. Do these OD units sound like that normally? Am I worried for no reason?

Well, after a year of other projects, I finally got back to working on the P10 wagon and got it running on Saturday. The 218 came from a flatbed Pilothouse farm truck I bought (for the engine) a few years ago for $500. The truck isn't much - no glass or gauges, the spider gears in the pumpkin are welded together (for better traction in the mud), etc., but the motor was rebuilt by a mechanic and runs sweetly. I've been using a "Jump 'N Start" portable car battery starter to start the wagon, and I put the red lead to the bendix post and the black to ground. It works great, except last night the bendix stopped working - I'm not sure if the 12volt portable starter caused the problem (it was a new bendix) Are bendixes not able to carry higher voltages? Next steps after fuel tank and fuel line install is the cowl.
