X53Gunner Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yep....yer right 49D.....Hey Scott, the engine has the oil pan low spot in the back instead of the front, which is typical of a car motor. The post that's sticking up in the middle of the head (between carb and dist.) is for the throttle linkage. That type isn't normally used on trucks. Trucks have a flat steel linkage tucked behind the motor. On the drivers side of the block, is a vertical stamp pad. Research that number here on the site. Also, get a wire brush and scrub the frame on the drivers just behind the front wheel. You'll find faint numbers stamped there. That'll help you get a better picture of where your truck came from. 48D OK not sure If I'm looking these numbers up correctly. The numbers off the block are PI5*908082* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X53Gunner Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 OK I'm a little bit excited as I read on this forum to put ATF down the spark plug holes to unstick a engine, low and behold I put some in there let it sit for 4 days and she literley turned over by hand today. I think I can hear a gear spinning toward the bottom rear of the motor so I think the starter is stuck in the engaged position but what a great feeling. One step at a time and eventually she will be back on the road looking good. I believe tomorrow I'm going to pull the front end and send it off to get lowered 4".

X53Gunner Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 By the way I thought I had the most stubborn lug nuts in the world on the drivers side, then I figured out they were reverse thread. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X53Gunner Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well I picked this up at a car show swap meet today..Was going to take the best of both and make one but now I'm thinking a nice 1 ton dually flat bed and a 1/2 ton sitting next to it might not be a bad ideal either...LOL Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X53Gunner Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well guys her she is back at the Hacienda.

X53Gunner Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 The only think I wish is that it was the short side bed and not the tall sided bed. I like the short sided for my tastes...Oh well I still can't complain...LOL Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X53Gunner Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not much going on with project as I'm redoing my 64 GTO at the moment. However, did want to let you guys know I sent in my dually flat bed front axle in to be lowered 3"s. I sent it in to http://www.droppedaxles.com/DODGE_AXLES.html I will let everyone know how it goes. Seemed real nice to deal with on the phone and did tell me he is very busy this time of year with car shows so It might take awhile but I let him know it was no problem.
