Another Parts Haul!...Fun adventures in my Mopar World

[keithb7]

Fun adventure tonight in my ‘38. I went to visit a local Mopar guy. Super nice guy in my car club. He said he might have Some wiper arms and blades to hook me up with. 
 

He did! A great fit. Every time I go to visit him he gives me more spare Mopar parts.  This trip I inherited a super clean drive shaft for my ‘38! Exact match. Like brand new, complete with all trunnions boots etc! A good looking master cylinder for my Chrysler. Bunch of carb and distributor parts too. 
 

I’ve yet to meet an old Mopar guy I never liked. Such a great community.

 

 Its getting dark earlier now. Great opportunity to use my dual relay headlight system. Also my fog lights were on too. Sure enough, deer on the road. Fog lights picked ‘em out! The old Plymouth lives to see another day.

Today I finally addressed the wiper vacuum hook up with new fittings and hose. I now have working vacuum wipers. Yes! Exciting stuff, I'd expected the worst.

 

Yes Plymouthy, he's a rare gem. I was just thinking the other day of maybe getting sort of custom T-shirts made up. "Old Mopar Guys...Get it" or something along those lines. Maybe with an image of an  old coupe. I'd like to give a few out to the the kind folks who have been so helpful and generous with their time. I will look into that....

Gotta love guys like that. I have received many parts from dpollo on this forum. Some super hard to find front door trim unique to Canadian ‘53 Plymouth Belvedere 4-doors. That’s how I actually discovered him but that’s another story. Lots of small pieces and trim for my ‘51 Canadian Dodge business coupe project as well.  Lots of good advice also. All gratis. Since then any time I can help out a fellow old Mopar lover with parts I do so for free. It’s called “passing it on”. I find most old car guys are nice but old Mopar guys seem to be the icing on the cake. Maybe it’s because other makes have lots of repro stuff but our non-mechanical parts are harder to find. I would like to, but probably never will, meet a lot of the guys on this forum in person. Met a few but not many. Hope to meet you and dpollo at some point next time I head out to the coast.
