Almost have the brake restoration complete. Vehicle: 47 dodge 2 ton stake bed truck. Previously used on a citrus farm in northern US. Question: The air reservoir tank on the driver side is connected to the vacuum line that runs from the carburetor to the Hydrovac brake booster. The main line runs from the carburetor, then tees off to the reservoir back up tank, and then continues to the booster. *** Is there a need to bleed the air tank? See the bleeder valve at the bottom, as well as the secondary connection on the far right. *** The closed valve on the top of the booster - when the truck is running and we loosen that valve you hear and feel air sucking in. What is the point for that valve and does that need to be adjusted to allow air in once restoration is complete? Thank you again, Jason AutoOwners.org

We’re about to start a break restoration of 2 Dodge 47 steakbeds. A 2 ton and a 1.5 ton. Working through the original mechanical user guide is helpful but we’re looking for more direction. Advice on required specialty tools and any tips on what to look out for. 1. Master cylinder leaks = will find new gasket. 2. break lines are in tact and holding fluid but should be replaced. 3. No pressure at all when pushing down on break peddle. 4. Will pull all 6 wheels (duel on rear) to start them see if bleeder valves can be carefully loosened). Opening question: What is most likely the case why we’re not feeling any back peddle pressure when pushing down on break? **Have yet to inspect drums and pads = likely need full cleaning/restoring.

My wife and I met friends at a craft beer tasting this afternoon. I couldn't resist a Dodge truck themed IPA! PS - It tastes good, too (but I favor IPA's) Insert other media !

Hi Folks, As I stated in my introduction, I’m in the planning stages of a ‘40s-style hop up based on a Dodge Brothers roadster and using 90%+ period MoPar content. After missing out on a complete engine / trans setup from a ‘38 Dodge passenger car, I’ve started thinking about other sources for a floor-shift 3-speed for this project. 1938 Dodge engine and trans I was already planning to use the steering box, column, and wheel from a Job Rated truck, and it occurred to me that these vehicles used floor-shift boxes as well. 1942 Dodge truck floor shifter Were the ‘39-‘47 truck three-speeds related to the ‘37-‘38 passenger-car boxes? How do the ratios compare? Can you swap parts around? Any help is appreciated! Regards, Dave
