    I have a 1934 Dodge Coupe and would like to install the lugage rack on it (missing).

    Any one else that would have one in good condition or at least restorable?

    Thanks,

    Dan Vac

    I think I can come up with the parts. I’m fighting this Pneumonia deal as we speak . I have another customer in this post also. I’m going to try next week for the parts hunt.

    thanks

    Dave, I remember this car from 20 or more years ago when it was parked outside at the house.

    Cool old piece.

    I took these pictures when I came aboard to help with the inventory 12 years ago. We sold it 6 years ago and the customer just picked it up last year. It would have been a cool car to restore.

    Never mind that the finances don't add up--if you have that kind of money, NOTHING about that Chrysler adds up.

     

    But if you absolutely MUST have a frumpy 7P Mopar thing, someone on Facebook is trying to GIVE this LWB Desoto away for free:

    If I was not sick, I would go grab it.

    They are a logistics company that says that they specialize in antique vehicle transport. $ different load - each time they sent equipment that was NOT equipped to load & unload 

    non-op vehicles. I specifically noted in my inquiry to them that each vehicle was non-op. Thus it cost me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, ( above their quote), for them to hire

    some local outfit to load & unload the antique vehicles. Totally arrogant on the phone.

     

     

    Can you post the paper work on this matter? I'm in this business and always 3 sides to the story. 

    Looking for interior side mount iron brackets for 34 Dodge

    Thought I would follow up on this inquiry. Thanks to "Country Traveler" who was able to supply L&R brackets. The L one was a reproduction crafted by Al Smith some years ago when he was making reproduction parts for these old mopar cars. It's either made out of a solid piece of brass or cast bronze, but is a perfect reproduction. The R one is an original with "33 convertible" written on it. The only issue is the Brougham cowl is 1 1/2" longer than the convertible brackets, which is not really a problem. I'm in the process of making 1 1/2" aluminum spacers that will fit on the front end of the brackets. Adding a spacer is certainly easier than trying to fabricate these from scratch. I won't drill a hole in the "A" pillar until the finished brackets pass my QC. Many thanks again Dave!!!!!

    Please keep us posted.

    Seeking Interchange - Wheels to Fit 1937 Dodge Commercial Truck

    in Dodge Trucks

    Just bought a rusty 1937 Dodge truck on sheer emotion and it could be too far gone due to 20 inch rims that are TOAST. Is there a reference somewhere that will shed light on my options to find wheels. My 1940's Hollander Interchange does not cover commercial trucks.

     

    The old tires are 7.00 x 20 and these are 5 lug rims. I messed up on the bolt measurements and measured from hole to hole center at 7.5 inches, and have since learned I measured wrong. No access tonight to re-measure. The holes in the rims are about 1 and 3/8 inches round.

     

    Please someone comfort me and tell me I can find rims. I have two options it seems.... source some decent rims, or bite the bullet and crush the thing and maybe break even. The Weaver Auto Crane is complete and I may already have a home for it. Best case scenario is sell the crane and buy some wheels. Right now I'm licking my wounds thinking I've really made a bad decision in this truck's purchase. I've messed up before and will rebound like I always do. ( sorta really like my new truck so fingers are crossed here tonight )

     

    PS:  Do the double threaded wheel studs have a name... and where might I find them.  Thanks for any productive directions.

    Classic cars converted to EV

    Most cases people are knocking the EV and they have never stepped into one. I have owned over 200 muscles and none muscles cars in my life time. From Ford GT40 to a go cart with twin Mac 90s to a twin engine Cessna. also a semi pro drag racer. I have driven thousands of cars in my years of owning a used car lot and being a car hauler. My 2nd home was Woodward Ave in Detroit. I'm a pro street racer. My dad was a Pro driver for the Tech Center in Warren Mi and the Milford Proving grounds for GM in the late 50s to 1970s. He would bring cars home and he would take me and a friend to go street racing. My point is with all the info above, i have driven a lot of vehicles compare to about 90percent of the population. EV are fun to drive and getting better.
