ebruns1 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 Hey Fellas, So I made a trip out to the local yard where the guy on the phone said he had 3 old Dodge pickups. Unfortunately they were not the '49 body style and they are pretty shot. Thought I would post a few pics of the front grills if anyone was looking for parts. I can give you the number of the yard if you PM me. It's in Wrightstown, PA. I"m going to snag one of the bumpers if it fits my '49...does anyone know if they were the same? Look to be identical. The last photo is my bastardized bumper that I'm removing. Quote
Young Ed Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 Those are both 54-56s. The bumper looks slightly different where it wraps around. Any box parts left on these? Looks like a side might be laying there. Quote
pflaming Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 If those trucks have good rims and they are 15", then are wider than the 28 - 53's and the fit over the front disc calipers from Rusty Hope's kit parts. I have those rims on my truck. Quote
Young Ed Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 PP do you know if they are like this one? 6" rim Quote
pflaming Posted April 6, 2015 Report Posted April 6, 2015 I do not have the means to measure the rim's width but I confident it is 5.5" or 6". The bead on my extra tire is 6" OD and that may be to fit a 5.5" rim. I like the wider look. Quote
P15-D24 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 If I was close I would grab those tow hooks! Quote
48Dodger Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 The bumpers are correct for 51-53. Note the center depression for the license plate. The 48-50 had the license plate off to the driver side of the bumper on top. Yes it will work for the 49 as a non-stock part. 48D Quote
48Dodger Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 PP do you know if they are like this one? 6" rim Don't think I've ever seen a 6" rim...only the 5.5's 48D Quote
Young Ed Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 Don't think I've ever seen a 6" rim...only the 5.5's 48D Tim you're supposed to be helping me out! I saw that armload of stuff you sent Mark off with..... 1 Quote
