Boydoggie Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 At one time my truck was stripped .A former owner did a fairly good job of rounding up parts to get it back on the road.so now I'm trying to refine things to make the truck right.and it is a long list. To start with the rear fender braces are missing .I have not been able to find any.So I ask you folks, does anybody know where to get a set of 1953 B4B rear fender braces? OR I could make some if someone could post a picture of theirs.The fender sheet metal is tearing so I got to fix this.The other Missing parts are the windshield wiper pivots. I've looked but nobody even lists them.I sure would appreciate some help.I know some of you started with a lot less and made some nice trucks. THANKS, BOYD Quote
MBF Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 Boyd, you may want to check junkyards. I think those rear fenders were used on Dodge stepsides right up through the Little Red Express of the 80's. That should increase your chance of finding what your looking for. Mike Quote
Jim Roach Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 Boyd, I have a complete 53 box tucked back in the corner of my garage. I'll try and get back in there in the next few days and see if I can get the pic's your looking for. Right now it's pretty nippley, oh did I say nippley, I ment nippy, here in the northeast right now. Jim Roach Quote
Boydoggie Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks Jim, a picture would be great, then I would know what I'm looking for. BOYD Quote
Boydoggie Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Posted December 15, 2010 THANKYOU MIKE, That will help. Boyd Quote
John Mathias Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 I'll have to confirm tomarrow, but I believe I still have a set of those in the garage I'm not going to use. Quote
Boydoggie Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Posted December 16, 2010 Wow, That would be great! THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY MIKE. BOYD Quote
John Mathias Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 OOPS! Forgot to look, sorry. Will try to remember tonight. Quote
John Mathias Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 If you are still looking for the wiper pivot posts, try: http://www.1953sale.com/Dodge-parts go to the bottom of the screen, select your year, when it changes screens, then select model again, see what comes up. Quote
