highspeed Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Made a pass through a local junk yard yesterday and found a couple pickups and a panel. Bought a couple mirror brackets and a hood ornament. Has anyone seen the stamped bracket and tell me anything about it? Thanks. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 stmped bracket (right one) is pre-51 maybe pre 50. The one on the left, did it come off the passenger side? If so, would you be willing to part with it? Quote
highspeed Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 They both came off drivers side. The narrow one is a tube type and came off a 52(?) panel. The flat stamped one came off what I thought was a later model maybe after 1953. I've never seen one like that before. In what year did Dodge go to an internal hinge? On a previous trip I found a pass side mirror and an inside mirror for the split windshield but didn't take them off and could not find them on this last trip. It was way to hot Saturday to spend alot of time looking, but when (if) it cools down I'll make another trip and look for them. If I find one I'll pull it and let you know. Quote

For the internal rear view mirror, lots got made out of a non stock one by just drilling a hole, the stock ones have a flat area where the mirror mounts. I'm looking for one of those as well. Anythign you are looking for? I got some stuff laying around, and plan on hitting a local yard to pull parts for forum members soon. Quote
Jim Shepard Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Has anyone seen the stamped bracket and tell me anything about it?Thanks. The stamped one on the right was used 48-50 and is somewhat rare (seems like quite a few got broken off or, otherwise, swapped out for something else). The passenger side is to kill for... Quote

highspeed Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Posted August 9, 2012 The one on the right is the type on my 48 panel driver side That one came off a "52" panel. The other one came off what I thought might be a "56" pickup but the truck was so burried in the trees and weeds I'm not sure. Quote
Bobacuda Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 The "less massive" mirror bracket is the same as came on my '53 B4B. Quote
