Dodgeb4ya Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Where would you ever find one of those??? You need the cable and distributor too to make it rare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD DODGE Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Bob, The tach drive cable had been disconnected from the distributor and left dangling down. The distributor that was in this truck appeared to be a normal non-tach drive one. A couple weeks later I found a tach drive adapter in a guy's garage that goes in the block and then a normal distributor fits inside of it. Its real close but not right. What does your distributor look like? Here is the contraption I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkahler Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 What's a center bumper guard worth to all yalls? feel free to throw offers at me. Just FYI, there are several sizes of the bumper guards. The 1/2 thru I think 1 ton trucks have a smaller size bumper than the larger trucks. I bought a center bumper guard from Mitchell Motors about 15 years ago thinking it would fit my 1/2 ton only to find out it was for the larger trucks.

Dodgeb4ya Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 There are 3 sizes. A set for the 23"engine (1/2 ton to 1 Ton) . And another set for the 25" engine (1-1/2 through 2-1/2 ton K) and a set for the 30" engine(2-3/4 ton through the 4ton Y) series trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageMoParts Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Maybe this is on the rare list... Neat! Dodge Truck Mens Razor Refills: 5pk.

Dodgeb4ya Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Found these and more on a Google search 8-$15.00. I need to find my box of them I lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 And another tach-I guess they are not rare. But the next best is the Dodge truck butt mat for driving comfort if you don't have the optional air ride seat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoose Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Is it common for the trucks to have a hand crank connector on the crankshaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ's Dodge Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 All the Pilothouse Trucks have the hand crank capabilities and are set up for hand cranking but not many truck owners have the stock crank handle. So the crank handle itself is desirable and rare in my opinion. KJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desotodav Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have obtained a few different crank handles from trucks here in Oz. The top one (with the bezel on it and part number stamped in the shaft) in the attached photo will find its way into my 52 truck. I have only ever seen one original jack though which is sitting in a fella's shed and not for sale unfortunately. Desotodav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJs 1948 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Here is a Jiffy Jet Windshield Washer on my 48 B-1-B. I bought it from Reg Evans. Mostly complete but found everything else needed on eBay. I need to brush up on learning how to post messages and photos again. It's been awhile since my last post. I'll try to put a few more photos of accessoryies that I have on my truck if this post works. Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to build them. P.S. Your Blue Truck looks like you did an awesome job! Would like to see more piscs do you have an album on PhotoBucket?

Young Ed Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Would it be difficult to duplicate the system?Thanks, Hank Special lid and jar might not be too hard. Its the nozzle that's a little tricky. The car one is a V shaped deal that goes through the center windshield bar and squirts sideways. It also requires a little elbow pipe that goes through the dash into the inside of the windshield bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanksB3B Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm sure there's any number of 1979 Toyota Corollas in junkyards nationwide that have those little "V" squirters. Maybe a hole drilled in the operable cowboy air conditioner vent would be a good place and would give you some adjustable variable range as well.

ggdad1951 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 well no one jumped on the Jiffy Jet on Epay for over a week so I jumped on the spendy grenade and will report back after it arrives in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
