  1. John:

     

    Sorry this took so long. To be honest, I got distracted, and forgot about it until I was under the truck today. Attached tow pics of each side from front and back, from the bottom. Please don't hesitate to touch base should you have any questions.

  2. I am trying to help a fellow out. He has this 1935 Dodge that is an older restoration. I have seen the truck, and it is fairly nice. Would be a great driver. Definitely not a show quality restoration. As you will see from the pictures, it was a frame on resto and most of the undercarriage was not restored. I would clean up some wiring (horn button) and install a correct mat for the cab. Various small items to address, but definitely a solid driver.

     

    The chap is asking $25K or best offer. Not my truck or number. If you have any interest in this, please contact the seller directly and let him know I referred him (I am Vic Panza). His name is Paul and his number is 304-564-3090. He lives in New Cumberland, WV, about an hour west of Pittsburgh. 

     

    I've added a few pictures, and a link to a DropBox file with more pics: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nlrvnqz2co6o6ze/AAC_B7rGZLVAdDdL1mg-CT1Fa?dl=0

  3. Hello:

     

    I just saw this post and was wondering if you still have this part. It looks just like what was used in my 1933 Dodge pickup truck. Trying to locate a replacement for mine. Appreciate any feedback such as part number, etc. The Dodge part number for what I need is 312886 and the book notes that it is a Delco Remy. But, they don't note the Delco number.

     

    Thx

  4. Nice truck. I just bought a 1933 in original condition. The seller had done a fair amount of work to make the truck drivable, including new tires, brakes, etc. Happy to speak with you privately about what I paid and overall condition, etc. It will also help if you can get the engine servial number to determine if it still has the original drive train. 

     

    Attached a pic of my truck. I have the bumper and need to get it on.

  5. I am not sure you can get them over the pedal. I installed mine on the pedal shafts when I had them off for restoration. In any event, if you are going to try and get it over the pedal, soak it in near boiling water to soften it up. Might also use some liquid soap to help it slide. And, remember to install them so that the flat surface (side down in your photos) is facing up so that it engages the toe panel when the pedal is in the full up position (trust me, I just installed a fuel tank and forgot to connect the wire to the sending unit).

  6. I figured this out after years of wondering. The seals are installed on the pedal shaft (when they are off the vehicle). The flat area goes toward the floor and the seal rides along with the pedal shaft. So when you push the pedal in, the seal moves down and when the pedal returns, it rests against the kick panel closing up the hole that the pedal goes through. 

     

    If this isn't clear, I may be able to find a picture. 

  7. Yea...it's definitely a home made roof. Just trying to figure out what they started with? Could have been a touring car or chassis?? In any event, after speaking with him, I don't have any interest. Still looking for my 1933-35 truck:)

  8. Does anyone know the status of this truck. Has anyone looked at it, or contacted the seller. I suspect that this left the factory as a chassis and was built up as a pickup truck? Just curious about it. I have seen it for sale for several years, and wondered if anyone actually bothered to look at it. May have to schedule a business trip to Tucson in the next month or so, if it's still there.

     

     

  9. If you have time, you ought to post a few pictures of your truck. It's not unusual for these old trucks to be missing the parts you mention. It's all part of the hobby. Finding parts, making new friends, and investing a small fortune in this old junk:) 

     

    As Alan mentioned, we have lots of resources for used and repo parts. Sure you can find everything you need.

  10. PS: You should clean the paint off the end of the tube to get a good ground. Based on the picture I sent you from Rhode Island Wiring, you can see how the parts fit together. The cap on the wiring pigtail presses onto the tube in the taillight can. You use a piece of wire loom over the wires and a clip is used to fix it to the wires. 

     

    Hope this makes sense.

  11. Dug out some additional parts that I no longer need to hang on to. If you have any use for these please drop me a line. Any reasonable offer on this stuff. The radiator has a part number on the upper tank of 581317, but I cannot find it in any of my books. I got this with a large collection of parts from a 1937 3/4 ton truck that was being chopped. Fender brackets are from a 1937 Chrysler Royal parts lot I got, and has a horn bracket.

     

    Thx

  12. Yes. I thought I was going to get this one, but someone out sniped me. What a bumber. I am looking at a bezel and lens for $75 that I might get. But, yes, appreciate your help in finding another one or two of these. The one in my picture is usable, but will need ot get a lens for the license plate hole. I am about four weeks away from installing the bed, and really eager to take this for a drive. Guess I don't need rear fenders or a tail light for that:)

     

    Appreciate all the help. Big parts-a-roma out this way in June, but hoped to have this solved by then. 

     

    Here is one option I found over in OH that may work. Would have to purchase one of two to try it out:

    http://www.cmwtrucks.com/index.php/54-55-chevy-gmc-tail-light-assembly-black-body-with-stainless-bezel.html

     

    Seems that the opening is the same size, and would want to make sure the shape is similar. They don't have these with the license plate lens, so either have to cut that out, or use what I have on that side, and thes on the other? Decisions, decisions??
