    If I get it up to speed and put it in neutral the driveshaft is still spinning, the u-joints are new and greased. I like the idea of removing the driveshaft and towing it at 40 mph that would tell me if it’s the driveshaft or not. If I can get someone to help me I’ll try both ideas this weekend. Thanks for the replies 

    Make sure no cops are around.

    lol

    Jack up the truck with the tire off the ground about an inch. Put something on the ground about 1/2 inch away. rotate the tire to see if mounted correctly. if not, it will wobble. Look to see if the tire is out of round.

    My 1937 1.5 ton truck has a vibration at around 35 mph. the faster I go the worse it gets. Feels to me like a unbalanced driveshaft. I removed the driveshaft from the rear and spun it 180 degrees then reinstalled it hoping it might solve the problem but it didn't. Any suggestions? I just recently solved my death wobble problem, the toe in was way off and I had the front wheels balanced. Rides real smooth now till I get up to speed then the vibration starts. Its too rapid or fast paced to be the wheels.

    Try this on a wide-open road. Pull the drive shaft and have a vehicle pull you at 35-40 mph.

    Thanks for the photo!!  The rack appears to be in pretty much the same condition as the 2 I have. They both need some  metal work. It looks like the one in the photo has had the chrome strips removed & the their holes filled in.??? Interesting condition, but at least it has the brackets.

     

    Thanks Dave!!

    Hi

    I posted the pictures for reference only. Im going to do an article on the 33-34 Mopar racks. I hope!! lol

    This is from a guy that is parting out his 33 Dodge coupe in Australia. His ads are on one of the FB pages.

    Your package will be going out in a couple of days.

    Thanks

    Hello

              I am looking for an unrestored or older tired restoration truck.   I want a truck that has always been rust free. If it does,t run no problem .  I am a mechanic but hate body work. 

    I realize I am asking a lot but I will keep looking till I find one.   If you have one or know of one  please give me a shout.

    Thanks for your time

    Joe

    Still, looking?

    Dave,

    That’s definitely my truck.

    The aluminum step-plates on the running boards and the sealed beams in the headlight buckets are a dead giveaway.

    Also, in the pic you provided there are some aftermarket marker lights on the top of the front fenders. They were there when I got the truck but I took them off.
