Dodgeb4ya Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 A good heat riser works in hot weather too. It's a good thing to have it beacause it deflects hot exhaust gases from getting up into the hot spot chamber on a fully warmed up engine..... especially in hot weather. Quote

Paul Hatfield Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Posted October 28, 2015 You guys continue to impress me with your NOS finds! I will soon throw in the towel and sell my project, but one of the things I enjoyed was starting to line up original parts. The parts listed in this string of posts is just plain fun! Congratulations! Paul Quote
desoto1939 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 I went to the AACA Fall meet in Hershey back in the early week of October. While walking around I found KIWI John. He hasnot been at Hershey for along time. While looking throught his items I saw in a plastic bag that he had a packet of papers about three inches thick and it was marked as 1938/39 Desoto. WHen looking at the information it was original factory Accessory sheets for my car and alsohad the prices sheets. Also contained in the packet were the factory service bulletins. It also had service bullitens for the same year Plymouth and also for the 37 Desoto and also 40 Desoto. Of great surprise it also containe the factory color chips for my 1939 Desoto. I bought this with out any thought. I have now had the opportunity to scan all the sheets and have created the information and it now resides on CD to save the paper. The originals sheets are now also inserted into individual plastic sheet protectors. The odd part is that none of the sheets were in any bad condition considering that they are 76 years old. The paper was nt fragile and all sheets were intact. If you are interested in the information please feel free to contact me. Great reading material and this is the stuff that you do not see all the time. Also got an old original Desoto Employees Metal Badge. another great find. While walking around with a friend that owns several 29 Desoto's we found several speedometers, gas gauges, a headlight bar with headlights, radiator cover and radiator, and a complete trans. So the parts are still coming out but you know what they look like. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com 1 Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Paul..to me..that is the most enjoyable part of any build..the seeking out of parts..and even more so if seeking out he parts involves a few decades into the future and retrofitting to some of my older cars. More than one way to enjoy the hobby...there is no written rule that a date of completion has to be set...let alone met..enjoy the ride even if it is still on blocks in the garage 2 Quote
Paul Hatfield Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Posted October 28, 2015 Gentlemen- I really had my heart set on restoring the truck, as my first vehicle ever was a 51 Dodge B1B. But, life had other plans for me. The truck just can't stay, and reasons are personal. I really did enjoy finding the cool parts that I did locate, and honestly, the warm welcome here was also great. Perhaps the opportunity will come around again. Best to all of you. I will always highly recommend this forum. Paul Quote

Paul Paul, Maybe let Keven take it off your hands (he's a wonderful guy and he lives up your way) that is if his wife doesn't say "One more project Keven and I'm leaving." (Actually I wouldn't wish that on anyone I was once heartbroken and I called an older wiser friend told him my marriage fell apart and he said "You Lucky Guy" at the time I thought it was completely inappropriate....after a while I came to realize it was not. Too bad but I hope it make your other dreams come true, Hank Edited October 28, 2015 by HanksB3B Quote
