Just bought this last night on one of my famous impulse buys.
Anybody tell me where I may be able to find parts for this?

Thanks,
Ed

try the "39-47Dodge@yahoo.com"group.I'm a member. They are a bunch of the best guys who all own trucks just like yours.The same basic model was built for all those years. Unlike many other forums- if you ask a question..10 people will answer it the same day . Everyone is eager to help. good luck...as you will soon find out finding parts for a vintage dodge is not all that easy.

Hi,
I have a '46 1.5 ton that I "refurbished" (meaning good safe working order) and use all the time. You can get 99% of your mechanical parts from NAPA or equivalent auto stores. In hemmings you can try Roberts, Andy Bernbaum for other stuff i.e. weather strip, gauges, rubber parts etc. I just rebuilt my engine last year and had no problem buying pistons, gaskets etc through regular parts sources (Sealed power, fel-pro etc.)Though you may have to get your parts guy to look up the part in the paper catalog rather than the computer. Your engine is slightly smaller (217 I think) but all parts available for that. Brake shoes you might have to have relined, but there are plently of shops-probably someone local.
have fun!

I rebuilt a 42 WC, it's now quite nice. You can get most parts in Hemmings. I found re-built flat 6 engines (in a crate) at South San Fracisco Engine Remanufactuing Co., in S San Francisco, CA. This was about 10 years ago, they had dozens of engines, used for United Airlines tractors at SFO.

=> I need your help, do you have any extra hubcap clips for the truck? Or even just one? With one as a model I can get some more made. desparate.
