Spinneyhill Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Oh dear. That's poor. It would appear there is no backup either. I was following your topic. How about resuming where you left off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about resuming where you left off? I found that tough news too....I am sure Peter is trying everything he can, keeping in mind the Admins are all volunteers.... Yes, of course, I will leave off where I was, currently waiting on a few parts to arrive from Dave (Country Traveler) and a few from DCM in Mich. and I will resume... I will use this new topic thread to continue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Ok folks, spent the weekend refurbishing the Shock Absorber mounts, from powder coating to running tap and dies through all the threads....also mounted the flex brake lines, and the spare tire mount.....

Alan Cutler Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 I fabricated and welded the rear front fender supports and just got them back from the powder coater....looks awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) I like your wheel dollies. Very simple! Good to see some progress. I also like your drag link end dust covers. They are a clear development over the Dodge 8 covers, which are two curved plates that fit partly over each other and are held on by a long spring around the end.

johnworden1 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Alan, Assuming the engine splash pans (between frame and engine) are the same on a 37 Dodge truck as those on your truck would you have a photo of a good set or at least those that haven't been butchered? The set I have are missing sections. I'll make a new set after I see a complete set. I'm nearly ready to begin welding together a newly fabricated box for the 37 using a repop tailgate and front end panel. I am using original stake pockets and we formed the floor channels on my Pullmax with the seam down the middle as original. I'll post pics of it fairly soon. Your work looks good and thorough. Thanks for any help. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hi John, I do have a complete set, taken from a Donor truck here in Norco, CA. I remember one of the panels had been bent but was still useable. I have not begun the refurbishment on them yet. I will pull them out this weekend and take some pictures. Vic Panza has a '37 at 99% complete in the refurbishment, also reach out to him. PM me if you need his contact info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need to purchase running boards and a tailgate. Big thanks out to Mark Wyman at Marksfinds4lessvintagecarpartsandmore.com by far the largest NOS catalog I could find...
