Mike36 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 What is the correct engine for a '51 Dodge 1 ton pickup? Thanks for any help. Also would like to know where I can get a new gas tank for this truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrytravler Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Could be a 230.2 or 236.6. Check your vin and model numbers. Picture of old tank. Can yours be repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c49er Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The 230 is what is used in the B-3-D trucks. The distributor should have NO vacuum advance diaphram on it if original.Good used Gas tanks are hard to find for the 1948-53 1/2-2-1/2 ton trucks...mounts half under the cab and half behind the cab-frame mounted. No new ones are available.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
