    '36 Dodge gas pedal question

    in Dodge & Dodge Brothers

    Posted

    I just had a look in my Desoto book and a 797919 is for 1936 S1 Desoto Sed another book says 36 Plym P3 and 36 Dodge.

    745978 (brown) is for Desoto S3 Canadian built and S5.

    745979 Desoto S3 Limo, 37-38 Ply, Dodge & Chrys.

    Let me know which one you are after, I may have a 797919 but it is black.

    1936 Desoto Headlight Reflectors

    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    Hi, I am looking for a set of headlight reflectors for my 36 Desoto Airstream.

    The headlights I have were converted to sealed beam and I want to go back to original.

    I was sold a boxed set of two Do-Ray light Co reflectors which were to fit, but 8" seems to be too large.

    Any information on size and type would be appreciated, I cannot find anything. 

    I am thinking they should be 7 1/2" and they were Rite Way.

    If someone has 1936 Mopar ones that suit, I am very interested.

    Yes, the top left seems to break maybe due to small moving parts and I like yourself have a number of broken ones.

    Maybe the top middle one was introduced as a replacement due to the breaks, being solid and having no moving parts.

    Still like to identify bottom centre ones car with a view of finding a new home, I think the retracting dovetail was to be some sort of improvement that

    is why I thought after 1936..

    Hi, I have a couple of striker plates which were found in a box in my shed.

    I was wandering if someone with a little bit of knowledge about these could put a year and vehicle to the ones I have a ? against.

    Top LHS 1936 Desoto. (after 2 more)

    The top middle is solid and no moving parts - 36 Dodge?

    The top RHS 37-39 Dodge, Plymouth & Chrysler ? (2 NOS for sale)

    Bottom LHS is like Desoto but extended at bottom 36 Chrysler ? (will sell the 2 I have if I can get the Desoto replacements)

    Bottom middle NOS - 1939 ? (for sale)

    Bottom RHS - Ford Latch ?

    Any assistance appreciated as they may help someone with their restoration.

    1936 Desoto Headlight Reflector

    Looking to purchase 2 Headlight reflectors for my 1936 Desoto, I assume Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth would also suit.

    The bucket opening is 7 5/8".

    Had purchased a good set a few years ago but they are 8", the seller included side of original box which said Do-Ray Lamp Co no 96

    and it said fits 1936 Plymouth P1 and P2, Desoto, Dodge, Studebaker, Nash 36-37, Dodge Truck and Plymouth truck.

    I might be wrong but I think his boxes may have been mixed up. Peter.

    1936 How to undo Dodge Desoto Horn trumpet

    Thanks, i will try the soaking. I had undone the nut and i was not prepared to twist too much. I am making 2 out of 3 i have. I have rotated the inside part by undoing bolts so that where it attaches to the horn bracket on gaurd support it is correct. Just another quick question what size are the bolts holding horn bracket to guard bracket looking at existing holes the bolts may be an over design. I may post photo so we are on the same page, Peter.

    1936 How to undo Dodge Desoto Horn trumpet

    Is there a trick on getting the trumpet to unscrew out of horn.

    I have seen a few where people attempt this and twist the hell out of the trumpet.

    I am re-building and need to flip it around half a turn so it faces the vent grill.

    Mine looks to have white stuff in the thread which may be some kind of lock tight goo used back in the day not sure.

    Any help or pics greatly appreciated.
