  1. Dodgin' Brother Todd, I too have been looking for NEW Tires & Tubes for my 1923 Screen Side (25 Inch rims) I just talked with "Russ" at Lucas Tire in Long Beach Calf. The GOOD news is that he said: "I have an order coming in later this week or later NEXT week - Oct 6th thru 14th. Try calling him 1-(800)-952-4333. Good Luck, "Power Wagon Dude" in California
  2. "Alsfarms", I had this same question asked of me a couple of years ago. So, I took these two pictures (from my '23 Screen Side) to illustrate the locations: ENGINE: On a flat / casting boss directly above the Carb inlet. FRAME: Above the front spring shackle. said those 'Kids' were used to Note: I was told the "Brothers" used Child Labor in their Factory (An accepted fact at the time) - The "D-B Guru" who told me this, said they couldn't handle a hammer, heavy enough to stamp the numbers (Not very hard) - So they aren't that easy to find. I have never (on 4 Restorations) found that number that is supposed to be "somewhere" on one of the frame crossmembers. Tip: Use a 4" grinder with a "Wire Wheel" to grind off the paint & rust. To gain easy access - It's easier if you take off the wheel & tire.. Good luck, "P-W Dude" in California
  3. I 'mothballed' my 1923 D-B Screen Side - (2,500 Lbs.) with 33 x 4 Tube Tires for the COVID Lockdowns. Now, I'm trying to 'De'-Mothball it. Looking in the Book of Information it says: "Check with Tire Manufacture." I couldn't get through to Coker, so I'm asking the "Experts"? When running 'empty' (Myself and a Passenger) - What Tire Pressure should I be running. Thanks for ALL, "Power Wagon Dude"
  4. Good Information on Sizing of wire. When I rebuilt my D-B, I took the 'flexible' Armored wire cover to my local Electrical (Wholesale) store and asked them to put the largest copper wire they could 'fit' in that flexible conduit. They suggested that I use a THN or THHN 'Heat Resisting' wire insulation. I also had them install / 'Crimp" on copper lugs and shrink fit tubing (Red for Hot - Black for neutral) onto the lugs, so wire polarity was never in question. I have NEVER had a problem with melting or damaging any of these wires. Good Luck, from someone who Been there - Done that.

  6. Looking for an OEM Dodge Brothers ("Black-Faced") Oil Pressure Gauge for 1920's era cars. Donn Marinovich Columbia CA. (209) 532-8673 donncharles1@gmail.com
  7. Brian, Looking for Spark Plugs for your '35 DODGE Truck" You should be able to get the proper plugs at NAPA. Many older "Long-Serving" NAPA Stores, have Manuals & Parts Lists that go back to Pre-War II. Or If you're nice, they can call or e-mails Stores that have that information. Good Luck, 'Power Wagon Dude'
  8. I have several FULL-SIZE, wooden “Mock-Up” patterns (IMG-1874), Blueprinted plans (IMG-1904) and a Paper Pattern (IMG-1905), produced while doing the Carpentry for a D-B "Screen Side" (Business / Commercial Car) top in 2002. The "Blueprint" Plan is 18" x 24" and was drawn by the late, California D-B Guru, Gil Belcher after restoring 3 Screen Sides. The Paper (Side-Rail) pattern was scribed from a complete full-size Top. I paid $ 100.00 to Gil for the Blueprint Plan. So am offerring these to whoever MIGHT want or need these for their Restoration? I will ‘mail’ them to you - IF the Buyer, will pay the original $ 100.00 and a few bucks for wrapping & shipping 'Priority Mail' ( $ 35.00 ) through the U.S.P.S.

  14. "Dodge Brother Brock" in Sacramento, I won't get into whether a Rim-Spreader WILL or WILL-NOT work on Disk Wheels. However, if the Forum consensus is that a Rim Spreader WILL work, then I would be happy to loan one to you for the Tire Change. I'm located in Sonora, California - About 100 - 125 Miles Southeast of Sacramento. I could deliver it or mail / ship it to you If you need it? - It's yours to borrow!! Stay Well & Best Regards, Power Wagon Dude (209) 533-3663 (Leave Message) donncharles1@gmail.com
  15. Dodge Brother fsnooks, I had this same question after I finished the restoration of our 1923 Screen Side. As a Heavy Equipment operator, I contacted the local CHEVRON Bulk Plant where I purchase all of my Fuel & Lubricants. The Bulk Plant Manager, put me in contact with CHEVRON Technical Support in San Ramon, California where I personally talked with a Senior, Petroleum / Chemical Engineer. The CHEVRON Engineer recommended their "CHEVRON / Mobil 600 Wt. Steam Cylinder Oil". The product ONLY comes in 5 Gallon Pails & 55 Gallon Drums, running about $ 20.00 bucks a Gallon. The engineer told me, lubricants have come a LONG way since the 1920's. There are additives an lubrication extenders that make the 600 Wt. as thick and better lubricant than anything of heavier weight. The engineer also said the Chevron 600 Wt, is "Food-Grade" for use in Canneries and Food Processing facilities. I asked him: "Could I drink it?" . . . . "You might, but it would taste funny" was his reply. It is a "Heavy Syrup" consistency and a 5 Gallon pail will be a Life-Time supply for any Dodge Brothers owner. I've had 'My-5' since 1994 and it is STILL 1/2 full. Depending upon where you live, (California / Nevada??) I can give you a phone number for a 'State-Wide' Bulk Fuel Distributor who has this product in stock ready for delivery. Best Regards & Good Luck, Power Wagon Dude
