Hello all, New in this neck of the woods. I just bought a 1935 Dodge Brothers 1 1/2 ton truck (dually). With a flathead 6 and a 4 speed. not sure if it is all stalk parts. Was claimed to be. I am having a difficult time finding info. First the engine numbers: PI8*235432* transmission numbers: (transmission seems to be two parts the back half seems to have it's ability to engage locked in one position.) Warner Gear Co. T8-1L connected to: Warner Gear Co. Muncie L1 I use the truck for my business and most of the time doing 40 mph is fine but ever now and then I need to get on the main road an I would like to be able to get the truck up to 55 or 60. I am wonder what this transmission set up is? And how to repair it (manuals??) if I can find parts for this back half. The T8? works fine. Also wondering if it is possible to find a higher ring and pinion for the differential so that I don't need to change the whole back end. Lot of questions about the new toy. Thanks for any info or directions on any of these questions.

Hi folks. I’m happy to join one of the best-respected forums on the web. I’ve never had a flathead-era MoPar, so I haven’t had any reason to do more than lurk up to now. I still don’t have one, technically, but once I get a bunch of early Ford stuff sold, I want to build a ‘40s-style Dodge Brothers hop up with all pre-1949 Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and Imperial parts. On paper, this calls for a ‘15-‘22 Dodge Brothers roadster with a ‘23-‘26 cowl; the brakes, floor-shift trans, and rear axle from a ‘38 Chrysler; 19x4 wire wheels ala ‘29 DeSoto; and a postwar flathead six (I’m undecided as to whether the 23-inch or 25-inch engine) with a couple carburetors and an alloy head. I’m looking forward to picking the brains here and hopefully harvesting some of your castoffs. Thanks for having me! -Dave
