55 Fargo Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Would on my engine, as I have the connection for it... Quote
ggdad1951 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 John at MM is a great guy. You can always call and ask, he'll probably know. Quote
Desotodav Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Looks very similar to the crank handles that I have Kevin, so I reckon that it would work. The top one in my photo has 194241 with the DPCD logo (following those numbers) printed on the shaft. I couldn't find that part # in my manuals. I have a couple more old ones down at the shed. I think one of those has the wheel stud socket on the end like the bottom one from my photo. I'll have to bring them home and check for part #'s on them. Desotodav Quote
TodFitch Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 11th picture on right.http://www.midwestmilitary.net/dodgewc14.html Will these work in our trucks? Part number doesn't match up with those in Group 20 for the pre-WW2 Plymouths (neither cars nor trucks). But that is a great site and a bunch of the parts look like ones that could be appropriate for early Plymouths. Thanks for posting the link! Quote
HanksB3B Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 +1 on the site. Doin't think I've ever come across it before. Prices seem reasonably competitive. Thanks, Hank Quote
NiftyFifty Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Why would you want a crank. He he he.... I couldn't imagine cranking my 251 over... Baffles me that anyone used to, then again a lot of old guys with one stretched or short arm from that very adventure Quote
ggdad1951 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 seriously? How many times have I posted about MM? They are the ONLY ones to have the correct bed stips for our trucks......sorry Hank, MM beats Horky's for the correct bed strips. Quote

They are the ONLY ones to have the correct bed stips for our trucks......sorry Hank, MM beats Horky's for the correct bed strips. Wierd part is I got my bed strips from Mar-K who in turn turned me on to Horkey's Wood and Parts. The ones I got from Mar-K matched the profile of my original ones so I guess I lucked out there. What is wrong with the Horkey ones? Surprised, Hank Quote

B1B Keven Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Posted September 13, 2012 They won't fit. 3" too short. Quote
Rusty O'Toole Posted September 13, 2012 Report Posted September 13, 2012 A crank can be convenient for other things like turning the engine over when setting valves, timing, or doing a tuneup. On some old motors, in cold weather if you turned the engine a couple of times by hand it would free up a bit and suck some gas up into the cylinders, and would start easier on the starter. Quote
