1951 B3B Truck Help Needed

[dan01wilson]

I need help/ advice on a couple of things on my truck:

 

1)  I need a line on the stuff behind the park light lenses, ie., the reflector/ bulb socket assemblies.  Mine are completely missing.

 

2)  Does anybody have a NAPA number or similar for clutch and brake pedal bushings?  My clutch pedal is really wobbly. 

 

Thanks for your help,

Hi Dan, #1, i bought my tail lights and parts from "Roberts motor parts" and #2 "Vintage power wagon" had some bushings

 

By the way... you look way to young to reach the pedals

Dan...you might be able to tighten the nut on the end of the clutch/brake pedal main shaft. Did that on mine and the clutch feels like new! Good luck!

Dan - this won't help with the parking lights, but maybe will save you some money. On Ebay an advertiser has new complete signal light housings. Trouble is they look almost perfect, but they fit a Jeep. Can't remember the name of the vendor.

I'm talking about the front park lights.  There's nothing there except the fender, lens and lens ring.

 

That's my grandson.  He had just finished washing the truck and really thought he had done something.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Dan;

I have seen these for sale on ebay a few times. I hate to say it but these are going to be tough to find otherwise.

dan, yah I'm fresh out of those parts, I'd suggest a forum classifieds "want" ad and Epay searches!

Dan, takes a lot of patience. Work on what you have and watch for what you need and don't panic. My '52 truck was missing the entire grill, very hard to find that grille.  A 2 T Dodge was for sale on CL so I called and asked for parts. It was a logger's truck, and I had to drive up into the mountains where it sat in a large cattle pasture. I looked for that grille at least 4 + years.

 

I removed the entire grille, park light buckets, lens, rings, the center piece, in all 13 pieces. Got it all for $250.  It wasn't chromed, but then very few are. I used implement warning lights for park lights til I found the grille.

Dan, pflaming is right on the money.  That being said. you are in an excellent site for information. ebay and Roberts motor parts are a good start.
