I freed up speedo but still it is very tight. I need a source for the cable. Mine is about 58” long. Is there a Univeral replacement? -
It’s soaking now. Correct, using a screwdriver I can not move shaft. There appears to be a small retainer holding on the disc in the back. Not sure how to remove it.

Not sure how to remove main shaft. It is frozen solid. do not want to pry on pot metal. The holes in front and back had a fiber material that I removed. It may be the removal of the large disc on back side is the key to this puzzle.

This is my 1929 NE Speedo from my truck. Looks quite different. Note wheel with teeth in backside. Everything looks enact but all movement is frozen. Can these be rebuilt or best to replace?

I guess I will need a cable for my 29 Dodge truck. Cable of about 58” length. Once I get cable I can check if speedometer is good. Transmission end. Spedo end:

I had a local agency get my registration set up for my truck. Very helpful and I got a clear title and Got my truck on the road. Did a great job until I ordered special black with yellow letters plates. The original 8 weeks time turned into 8 months. I expected the COVID excuse and that is what I got. Added problem dealing with CA DMV. Any others having similar problem?

This a good investment of your time. Make a summary of parts used in your vintage vehicle. This information does get lost and is good to list on file. I used my excel spreadsheet.

Great source of information on this forum but it may best to have it rebuilt. Especially if you intent to do tours. I decided to pay up and have it rebuilt. I believe Meyers Parts is still rebuilding them. My Stewart runs great.

What is the carb used on and what model is it? Post some pictures.

Thanks for information. I am assuming the adjustment for 23 and 29 should snug tight.

I checked in my owners manual for my 1929 3/4 Dodge Bros truck and noted the following diagram. When checking my truck it appears to be a Hammun box as shown in my “Master Parts booK” There is an adjustment bolt on the side and this appears to be the only adjustment. There must have been a steering box change in mid-year production on these trucks. The Hammun looks to be much more durable.

I believe these 29 DB trucks had an insulated fabric on fuel lines. I am using this fabric obtained at Carquest Auto. I also raised the fuel line 1” higher. Thanks for suggesting different fuel. Advancing the spark helps also. I am getting my engine dialed in with short trips.

1957 Chevy Bel Air sport sedan (Bertha)
stakeside replied to AURktman's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I had Sport Sedan and it has new owner in Sweden. Consider this color combination of Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige. These 57s had certain colors that went with the model. Funny thing I discovered at my local Napa shop was a promo posted showing my model. -
My 29 DB 3/4 truck has a ratio noted as 51-1 and I feel most comfortable at the 35-40 range. I can even start driving in 2nd gear with no lug down on engine. These trucks were designed to move good and not for quick trips.
