trip to a yard

[Young Ed]

When did need have anything to do with it?!

If you don't get it, tell me more about the hemi.

I apparently didn't take a picture of either it or the car. I'm thinking it was a 54 desoto.

[Merle Coggins]

Is it the same as a pickup bumper? I don't have my parts catalog handy to check. If it is, or it it would work, I'm interested in it.

Merle, the bumper has a step built into it so it's different than the pickup and it looks like it wraps around the rear of the panel body, maybe farther than the pickup does.

Mark, is that a new acronym (TODD)? I missed it if previously mentioned. Extended roof project? Part of PHTD?

TODD is the name of PHTD project truck (when I start)...kinda a play on Turbo Diesel...but more of a name than an acronym.

[Dave72dt]

That should be very popular build. An extended/crewcab diesel powered PH! Major cut and weld.

When I started with this project I was too curious and not too careful so that I have lost the internal parts of one windshield mount for a '52. I have a complete 48 mount but it is different.

Does anyone have such. The one little washer fits into the sleave of the upper part (green arrow) it is a complicated little part with ridges on the rim.

A pm on this would be appreciated.

[Dave72dt]

Mark, I went back and looked at one of the last pics of the panel. The roof didn't look to bad until they used the boom to lift the panel off the ground. The front 3/4 is probably useable though.

Hey Mark,

How much for the bumper....my panel doesn't have one.

I know shipping would be rough, but might be interested if it does have a special step in it to make it a "panel only" kinda deal.

48D

[ggdad1951]

looking for $100 + shipping for it. had to apy them to lift and torch off. I'll PM him ONE more time, if no answer in a week it's open season on it.

yah I don't think I'd need THAT much of the roof, just enough to make the fill panels for where I'll need to stretch the roof.

[ggdad1951]

Alright, have heard ZERO from the party that was interested....so I open the rear bumper to anyone interested.

PM if you are interested.

Well went back to Windy Hill today and scored pretty good.  My haul:

 

Door and roof section for TODD project

 

 

 

air filter

 

 

 

Misc small parts.  The air horns and the one door handle will go on the TODD project

 

 

 

And let the drooling begin:  a complete set of grill bars for a 48-50 and parts from a 51-53.  The 48-50 I only one clip broke off an 2 studs sheared.

those pannel trucks are cool.

[Young Ed]

Went to a yard myself yesterday. Car stuff is here on the car side http://p15-d24.com/topic/33933-another-junkyard-trip-french-lake/

[Young Ed]

Three plymouth trucks!! Two are 1940 and 1 a 1941.

This one I wanted to get the grill off of but didn't have enough stuff with. May have to make a return trip with more equipment.

[Plymouthy Adams]

I would suggest you not dawdle on getting it...fall is coming folks will be looking for parts to project with over the cooler months..lots of folks kick the left rear tire and when they finally walk back around the car, they see the other man has removed the two tires off the right side side that were there but minutes earlier..

 

Fish or cut bait.....hate to see you loose that grill..

[Looznutz]

Went back today and that mirror arm had rust holes in it. Was stuck on there pretty good too so I didn't grab it.

Well Tim it was a battle but I didn't loose the war. Here's how it looked right before I got that piece off. The upper pieces all actually broke or came apart fairly easily. They were small carriage bolts with nuts. However the very bottom one that faces down was a 1/4 in faster into a captive nut. I had to dig a small hole then the phillips screw head stripped out. So I took the whole grill apart to get access and chiseled away. I mangled the bottom slightly but no one sees it when installed anyway.... whew

 

[Young Ed]

Found these handsome fellows too but the one was completely stripped and the other they are trying to sell whole. Darn there were some good pieces on the complete one.
