Jim Gaspard Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 That's a good investment already in new parts. Can you post pictures of the truck body condition. What part of Southern California? Quote
chucky07 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 I'm out in the desert in china lake...about 80 miles from bakersfield. Very dry here...The truck was here all it's life..i bought from original owner..90 year old man...It sat covered in his yard the last 30 some years...he said he parked it when the engine started to smoke..that's why i had it rebuilt..The body is solid with no major dents anywhere..just a few dings here and there and No rust at all..Was planning doing everything but my plans changed...I hope these pictures upload ok if not email me and i can send you more if you're interested. thanks, kevin Quote

brian hood Posted April 29, 2008 Report Posted April 29, 2008 Do you still have it? How much for the whole thing? Quote
Fernando Mendes Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Is it a 251 engine?Note that the fuel pump holes are not aligned. Quote
Dale Uhrich Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 If chuck sells this truck maybe he can pay me for the heater he got from me???????? Quote
Fernando Mendes Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 My B3-B truck has an IND 251 engine.I would like to ask for Reg Evans which kind of disadvantages he noticed running with this same kind of engine in his yellow truck.The correct type engine for the trucks are the serial number beginning with letter "T".Thanks.

Reg Evans Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Fernando, Yes, I installed a Chrysler 251 in my truck. There aren't any disadvantages to running this engine unless more horse power is a disadvantage. Your engine being an industrial engine might have a non vacuum advanced distributor. If so,you would want to find a dist. with a vacuum advance. Quote
chucky07 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Posted May 24, 2008 Is it a 251 engine?Note that the fuel pump holes are not aligned. NO ITSNOT A 251 ENGINE IT IS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP HOLES NOT BEING ALIGNED. CARE TO SHARE MORE INFO ON THIS ISSUE Quote
Fernando Mendes Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 Hi Chucky 07.My B3-B truck has an IND 251 engine block which has too the fuel pump holes not aligned(lined up).I knew that IND means an INDUSTRIAL application engine,not for trucks or cars.I became frightened.Seeing the article by Eric Bannerman about many types of flat head six engines I knew that there are many 251 engines types,like T120(251c.i-for truck),T130(251c.i-for truck) and T150,T151.....all for trucks.Before read Eric Bannerman article,for me all 251c.i engines were the same IND application(251c.i=IND).It is not true.Do you understand my doubt?Today I still have another doubt that is "What type of engine has the two fuel pump block holes disaligned or not lined up?" Quote
Reg Evans Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 Fernando, I've never seen a flat head 6 cylinder engine that had the mounting holes for the fuel pump lined up. The top hole is always closer to the front than the bottom hole. I just checked a 218, a 230, a 241, and a 251. All the holes are at the same "not lined up" arrangement. Reg Quote
chucky07 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Posted May 25, 2008 thx reg i was worried i had a "unaligned fuel pump hole engine" ahahahaha:) Quote

Fernando, Nós respondemos a sua pergunta para você? Trabalho bonito no velocímetro! Quote
Fernando Mendes Posted May 26, 2008 Report Posted May 26, 2008 Ok friend Reg Evans,you answered my question.Thanks.But I already saw a flat head six with mounting holes for the fuel pump lined up.This was a WC-...(weapon carrier) from WWII(1941).My B3-B green&black truck I have since 1987,its distributor is with vacuum advanced and runs well.My Jeep Willys MB 1942(four cylinders) is w/o Vacuum advanced.Congratulations for your Pilot House forum,it's very important to love more our Dodges.Regards.

Reg Evans Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Hey...very good Fernando! I hadn't seen one like that until now. Does the photo say what this engine's displacement is? Is it a 251 or 265 or a larger block engine over 30" long with more than 300 cubic inches of displacement for a B-1-R, B-1-T or B-1-v series really big trucks? Learn something new every day ! Quote
Fernando Mendes Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 This pic says R,T,V and Y.I don't know.Like I said to you I already saw the same in a T-207,1941,weapon carrier,WW II truck.I am trying to get a pic to show you.Good luck. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 I've got lots of those lined up high volume fuel pumps and the big thing they attach to! Bob Quote
