Definitely, when removing the engine-trans assembly one must remove the rad and grille, I didn't remove my headlights as there is no tybar on the PB, but the next time I will as I almost knocked one with the backend of the trans....With my PB I had no issues removing engine and trans assembly in regards to the steering box.
I'm sure engineers changed things over the 2 years between our cars.

When I pulled the engine from my PB I didn't have to remove my column, if memory serves me well any used steering boxes I've seen for early Plymouths had the column's attached... I suspect that the steering gear worm wheel and shaft (#18 in the parts book) is full length from gear box up to the steering wheel.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

I may be able to help, are they all the same for 1938? ...to ensure I dig out the proper one, could you post a picture of yours.... shipping from Canada.....

GREAT!!.... Now to figure out what make and model they were produced for....I placed them on my PB sport roadster and not close so I checked my Plymouth parts book in the trunk rack section for the numbers and I didn't see them, perhaps the casting numbers are different that actual book part numbers....If they are in fact Plymouth....I would suspect that Chrysler, Dodge and Desoto use the same castings??
Would more pictures and measurements help narrow it down?
TIA

Hello All, These were among an accumulation of parts that we are going through trying to find the right home for everything.
There was some early Plymouth stuff...The numbers that are cast into them, one is 327400 and the other is 327401..... and there is a round logo after that but I'm unable to make it out.....they do appear to be a matched pair. Any help would be appreciated,
Dave

I've been trying to decipher on what tail light came on the Canadian PB sport roadster, The parts book list some but by part number, it's hard to tell what it looked like. The only original pictures that I could find are in the accessory section of the parts book. I searched this forum and came up with a few possibilities and most lean towards the lower one in my picture.
Then last month I was reading our local old auto magazine and they had this quiz, would number 5 indicate that tail lights with reflectors were not available on any other earlier vehicles prior to 1933?
These are the three I have rounded up so far, left one is the only one without reflector lens, it came in a box with the car, the one one the right was on the car.
Any thoughts?

I've had little to no success in locating a good water tube for my PB. The parts book list a tube for the PA and one for the PB, Is there a difference between them??
I bought some 1" copper fittings, cut a little off a few of the fittings to shorten them up and soldered this up... Think it'll work?
Cheers!

Thanks for responding Bob and answering the month old post, Yes.. PM's are great for communicating back and forth and not clogging up the forum with non related text but ONLY those included in those emails are able to read them and the rest of the public who are searching this great forum for parts and or information are left in the dark as to the status of posted info.
Back to original programming, Would anyone know if the chrome headlight buckets from the PA and PB are interchangeable?..... Asking for a friend....

It would be nice if original posters would respond to questions after they post items or even note if items have been sold... OK enough of my rant...
QUESTION!
The post indicates that these headlights will fit both the PA and the PB, according to the Plymouth parts book the PA has two different listed (serial #), a colour keyed set, plus the black option, the PB has chrome or black... were all the chrome PA and PB headlight part numbers superseded into one number in the aftermarket world? They look similar... Just wondering??...... and trying to get a response from the OP....
STAY SAFE!

No, He did not get headlight pots from me, after he had confirmed that he had received the package I asked him if I could help in any other way he replied "still looking for headlights"... I replied I'll keep my eyes and ears open.
Cheers!

He was not aware of the horns. He does not have any horns, and would be happy to have just the standard mounts. Let me know if he would sell them and how much please. Thanks.
Mike now has a pair of standard stands....

OK, I'll reach out to him and I'll send you a PM with his thoughts.

They also made two headlight bucket options for the PB all Chrome and Black Bucket with Chrome Bezel, plus Canadian cars used Depress Beam lens, USA used Twilite lens. The Twilite complete Lamp assy chrome is 645-L and Black was 645-K
if Canadian PB Kid does not have what your looking for I may have a extra set of Headlights but not the mounts, I go to Hershey every year also and could bring them. Send me a PM if he does not have any.

I was not aware of the different lenses although it does make sense with different regulations and such, the Plymouth parts book list the black headlamp bucket for the business roadster only.
I personally do not have any extra parts, I was only trying to ensure that the individual was getting what they really wanted.
Recently a friend was lucky enough to acquire a pair of stands for the optional horns, he may be interested in parting with his standard pair.... if that is what the fellow is looking for.

He needs the stands and the headlights.
Yes, I understand you are looking for the headlight pots and stands for a PB but there are two different types of stands, one type (standard) supports the headlights alone and one type that supports the headlight and the optional trumpet horns.

Bob, The Ferrell that I discovered on my engine was completely round, meaning no gap. Personally, I would be concerned with the possibility of a leak developing, the exhaust ports you'll hear but a leak on a intake port, would be a real head scratcher... I know they are mostly for alignment but things happens.
For mine, I located a piece of pipe that was the proper I.D., mounted it in the lathe and turned it down to the proper O.D. and then sliced them off at the proper thickness.
Just my 2 cents....

I have a friend I met at my Chrysler museum that is restoring a 32 PB coupe. He needs original headlights and stands. Can anybody help?
Are you looking for stands that hold the trumpet horns and headlights or just the headlights?

Bob, are you saying the mounting holes are too small to fit over the backing plate studs?, how did someone fit pinion (off what?) seals onto the flange...perhaps mine had a pinion seal on the left side and this is why it it looked like this when I removed the drum....

Hi All, I unearthed this body from a fallen down shed of dreams. Apparently it was purchased in the mid 60's and put in the shed around 1980. It appears to be about 6 feet from C-C on the wheel openings. Any thoughts on what it is and what's the value on something like this.
Thanking in advance,
Dave
