DollyDodge Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 Would anyone happen to have a ribbed neck bolt for the upper door hinge that is threaded? My driver mirror is mounted on the upper hinge with the use of a ribbed bolt. The passenger side mirror was an add on and was screwed into the door. The ribbed bolt on the upper hinge on the passenger side is shorter than the driver side (because of not having the mirror mounts) and not threaded. I have copied the driver mirror mounts and I am ready to put them on the passenger side, but I need to find a correct bolt. Anyone help would be appreciated. If need be I will just weld a threaded portion of a bolt onto the old passenger ribbed bolt. But I would rather find an original that is threaded. thanks Quote

buds truck Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 got one in my hot little hands right now just waiting for you. Quote
DollyDodge Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Posted August 5, 2010 Thank you both. Could you you let me know what you want for it? I measured the beast last night and it is 3 1/2 inches long and 5/16 diameter. I will be out of town until Saturday, so if you don't hear from me that is why. I am excited to get the bolt. Rob Quote
DollyDodge Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Posted August 5, 2010 PS I don't think old Frank wants to part with his bolts, he wouldn't work well if we take bolts from him. Quote
buds truck Posted August 5, 2010 Report Posted August 5, 2010 Rob, PM me with your address before friday night and I will send it to you no charge. I will be gone for 2 weeks starting saturday on an extended fishing trip/vacation. Bud Quote

DollyDodge Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Posted August 8, 2010 Bud: I hope the fishing trip went well. I sorry I missed you before you left. We didn't get back until late Friday. I sent my addy to you on your email and PM. Thanks Rob Quote
DollyDodge Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Posted August 27, 2010 Are you back from your fishing trip? Hope you had a good time. Did you get my address? Later Quote
buds truck Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 hopefully you have received the pin in the mail, Bud Quote
DollyDodge Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Posted September 15, 2010 Yep, the bolt arrived in the mail and is exactly what I needed. Now I can mount the passenger side mirror as it is suppose to be mounted. I really appreciate your donation of the bolt to my old truck. I have come across so many generous people in this forum who want to help out and donated small parts. It is so wonderful. Quote
48Dodger Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 happy to be of help. Did you take the new trailer???? 48D Quote
buds truck Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 not on that trip, but she has been on numerous trips this summer and maybe another this weekend. I installed a hitch on the 49 Plymouth and we took her to a couple of rod run/campouts too. She is a keeper. Quote
DollyDodge Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Posted September 20, 2010 Here is a picture of the mirror installed, with my new ribbed bolt you sent me Bud. I made the brackets and copied them from the driver side. There was a arm and brackets on EBay this weekend that I was bidding on but they went for $63. Mine look fairly nice, so I guess I wills stick with them. Quote
