New 1950 dodge Truck to me

[5027 steve]

Does this mean I'm missing cab bolts?????

[5027 steve]

The previous owner put these floor boards in

[5027 steve]

How much do I have to lift the cab to get new bushings/bolts in ????

[MBF]

Pretty sure its a stand for an electric of vacuum fan to help the defroster.  The ball is the pivot mount that the fan motor would pivot on.  My '36 plymouth has one.

Look under the cab by the foot board (lay on your back). You'll see the bolt holding the cab if its still there. If the previous owner did something different, I'd have to believe it would still be in the same location. The bushings for the cab are on either side of the mounting perch, which is connected to the frame. The cab needs to be elevated to remove the bushings, so if you are going to do this, you might be putting some work into that modified floorboard.

[5027 steve]

I must be stupid because I can't find where the classifieds are here also does anyone know if DCM is a real company???? I have tried to contact several times and no one answered the phone?????

There are headings along the top of the page and on of them says Classified .   DCM classics is a real good supplier of parts for us . formerly Dodge Central of Michigan . You might try an email from their website .

I was looking into parking brake cables for a friend here in Oz recently. The inner cable seems to fray with age. I pulled 4 of them from my trucks and found that 3 of them needed the inner cables replaced.

I found a fella at a brake and clutch shop down the road who has the machine required to crimp the ends onto the inner cable. He said that they plastic coat the inner cable when they make them as that prevents the inner cable from getting caught up inside the outer case. They charge $55 for the new inner cable (if the outer case of the park brake cable is ok).

It would not be cost effective for you to send your cable here to Oz, but it may be worthwhile checking with a brake and clutch shop in your area as they may well be able to do the job.

There are a few part numbers for park brake cables for the different sized trucks... but the most common part number (which is for the 1/2 ton truck) is A1272599.

Can someone please help me with the taillights on my truck, 1950 2b2 -did they come with the cast iron type mounts or the stamped sheet metal mounts,i see DCM has both but doesn't list any difference in models ....Thanks

[FlashBuddy]

I'll check my '50 B-2 B when the sun comes up. Feel free to PM a reminder?

[5027 steve]

Ok last night playing with the drivers door....I think I have the locking Figuired out but then again maybe not...LOL....do u have to lock the drivers door from the outside handle????? It locks when I lifer the outside handle but doesn't lock using the inside handle .....Once again THANKS !!!!!!

[FlashBuddy]

Mine locks by lifting the inside driver's handle. One is supposed to always exit the vehicle by sliding across to the passenger side, right?
