INJUNTOM Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Anybody know whether the band brake setup from a '50 Plymouth will fit a '47 Doge for sure? Pics in this thread if needed: http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=25178&goto=newpost Quote

Wasn't really expecting someone to come into my wanted thread and offer info on interchangeabilty. I basically have someone offering to sell me an item that neither of us knows whether it will work or not, so I'm now asking whether it will fit so that I can complete the transaction. Not cool to do so? Maybe I can wait a few days and someone who knows the answer, but has no parts to sell may possibly just pop in in case their knowledge is needed? I can live with that I guess.

BobT-47P15 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Hmmm.....wonder what's the difference if an overdrive? Different diameter drum maybe? The emergency brake part is missing on my overdrive tranny. I have a spare brake out in the storage building....guess I need to check to see if it fits. Quote
oldodge41 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 40-50 Dodge/Plym drums are the same as long as no overdrive.41-54 DPCD bands are the same. Reference---MoPar 1954 and prior models Passenger Car Parts List shel_bizzy_48: Thanks for sharing your cross reference info. Folks like you who share this info freely are what makes this board great........Tim Quote

Bob, I forget what the difference was but I discovered there was one when by mistake I tried to install the emergency brake drum from a P23 non-O/D transmission on my O/D. Would not work.

BobT-47P15 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Out in my storage building, where all the valuable Plymouth bits and pieces now reside, I found an E brake band on which someone had written the number 1274 227 and "35P". I wonder if the last ones mean it came from a 1935 Plymouth. I also found another complete band with the actuating hardware pieces to which the cable attaches. Is there a part number stamped on that stuff anywhere? That part is kind of rusty and I couldn't see any numbers at this point. The number in the parts book for a complete e brake assembly is 870 500. Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Thanks Shel and Aero. Aero.....what does your drum measure from one side to the other? Yours is not an overdrive....right? That way I can compare to see if the OD is larger around. I guess I didn't get the e-brake band with the trans when I bought it 12 or 15 years ago. Hadn't paid any attention to the tranny over the years.....it's just been sitting on the garage floor back in a corner. Am getting closer to wanting it to be installed. Never too late to learn.... it just may cost more nowadays. Edited January 4, 2011 by BobT-47P15 Quote
aero3113 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Mine is not an overdrive and it looks like it measures 6 inches from side to side. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Bob, that # is for a 50 Dodge truck:) In comparing that truck band with one mounted on the activating hardware, which I presume came from a car, it seems to be the same diameter with similar attaching parts. So, I would say a pickup band would work on a car. I thought the last number the previous owner wrote on the band might have said "35P", but now I think he was saying "3 Sp"...for three speed transmission. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I measured across the drum on the R10 and it is also real close to 6 inches. So it may be a mounting issue instead of a size issue. Will have to drag the tranny out of it's corner and esperiment with the e brake band I have on hand. Quote
