  1. The hubcap hole is 5 and 7/8'', or close to 6".  I googled Plymouth wheel sizes in the 30's, and there is a chart that comes up with all the sizes.  For 1932 it has the 18" wheel, but says the bolt pattern is 5 by 4-1/2.  The wheels I have are 5 by 5".  These wheels are located in Poulsbo, Washington, not far from Seattle.  I also have a 39 Plymouth pickup frame with engine and all running gear, if anyone is interested.  Thanks for the inquiry.

  2. I bought these wheels a few years ago when I was trying to restore my 34 Dodge pickup.  I gave up on it, sold it, and now I am trying to sell these wheels.  I thought they would fit my truck, and were advertised as for a Dodge or Plymouth.  I thought the bolt pattern was 5 by 4-1/2".  Someone came to look at them and discovered they are 5 by 5".  The wheels are 18" diameter.  The tires on them are 5.25-5.50-18.  Can anyone help me ID these wheels as to what they will fit.  I am asking $250 for them.  Thanks, Guy Denton

  3. I bought this wheel and tire at an auction. I know someone must need it. It looks old to me. It is 19 inch. The only thing I can read are on the 4 keepers that hold the wheel together. They say JAXON. I don't have a clue what it is for. Anyone have an idea? Thanks

  4. I have been looking for parts for my 34 pickup, haven't found anything, but I found a 34 4 door sedan on Craigs list not far from me. I went and looked at it. It is partially apart, and I thought I could use the engine, transmission, and a lot of other parts. The more I looked at it, and looking at all the parts spread around on shelves, the more complete it became. It has a grille shell, somehow cut in half, grille insert, new radiator, headlights, all metal interior parts. I was looking at the front fenders for my truck, and they measured 71.5 inches from the scallop to the running board. I thought I understood that those would be the right fenders, but the wheelbase is 116 inches. I thought only 111 inch wheelbase parts would be right for a pickup. the S/N is 3687206. Engine S/N is DR-10138. I would hate to take this car all apart for my truck restoration. It seems complete. It has been inside for the last 20 years. Even the hubcaps are there. Is it anything special, or just a run of the mill 34? I have enclosed some pictures. I can take more if anyone is interested. He wanted around $3,500 for it. It ran when parked. It turns over. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

  5. Progress has been slow. After doing research, I am not going any further until I can verify that it has the correct truck frame under it. I know the front axle is wrong, the front shocks are wrong, the engine is wrong, the grille is wrong, and so on. I am going to take the entire cab, fenders and everything off so I can find a serial number on the frame. to see if it matches anything. The s/n on the title is 9264775 which is a 42 Dodge number. The number on the tag on the cab is 8559591. That's where I am at. Bye from Guy

  6. Hi, I haven't had time to work on it at all. Christmas, winter storm that tipped over 6 100 year old apple trees to clean up, and relatives visiting, just no time. The pictures you sent are great and I appreciate them. Ican see that my bell housing out of a 39 plymouth PU isn't going to work, so now I will be looking for an bell housing and transmission for the right year. Thanks again, Guy

  7. I am looking for pictures of the rear motor mounts. Someone tried to put a non stock engine in my truck, and there isn't a trace of the rear mounts. I have 39 plymouth pickup frame with the motor and mounts, and I thought it would be the same, I noticed the plymouth has the mounts bolted to the inside of the frame channel. The Dodge has a boxed in frame at that location, so I am thinking the plymouth mounts aren't going to work. Then I acquired a crossmember that had the brake master cylinder and clutch linkage attached. It is supposed to be off of a 33 dodge car. I was thinking it may work, but it just doesn't look right. Anyway, I need some pictures of what I need or the name of a book that I can locate that I can see what I need. There isn't another truck within a 100 miles of me that I can get to right now. Thanks.

  8. Hi, I have a Dodge Spitfire engine in my 34 pickup that will be coming out. I have no Idea what the condition is. It was stuffed into the 34, and there isn't enough room to get a socket on the front cranshaft nut so I can see if it turns over. The oil on the dipstick indicates there is no water in the oil. It is the long spitfire, which means if you measure the length of the head it is 25 inches. It has a 4 speed tranny hooked to it, so I am thinking it is out of some kind of truck. I couldn't find the engine number before, but have since found it on top of the engine block right above the place where the number usually is on the side of the block. I am pretty sure the number is C51-49866. Maybe some of you numbers guys can tell us what it was from. The first letter might not be a "C". It is pretty rusty, so I may have it wrong. People on the forum have said it was produced after WW2, and named after the Spitfir airplane used during the war. I realize you are on the East coast, and I am on the West coast, so it probably isn't worth shipping. But it is yours if you want it, or anyone else that does. Thanks, Guy Denton

  9. Thanks for all the replys guys. I guess we got to the bottom of that, not that I did anything. I was just wondering because of the 36 I saw on Ebay, noticed the front axle was solid, then was looking at pictures of Ian's 34, and saw it had independent suspension. So then I was confused, so got on here, and now all my questions have been answered. Ian, thanks for the pictures of the parts that go above the windshield. Do you think the car parts would interchange with th truck parts in that area? Thanks everyone.
