[Early 30s Brake Drum Paint]

I don't believe the chassis on the 1932 DK8 was ever painted body color unless the body was black. I could be wrong. I would love to see any notes that claim the chassis was body color. I think 1928 was the last year for that. If going with black on the drums, John Deere Blitz Black is awesome stuff for that. They use it on tractors and tractors sit outside a LOT.

 

Keiser31,

 

I'm going from the body color paint I found on sandblasting off the old paint. The lowest level was the Limousine Blue #2 which is my body color. Plus the 1932 'New Dodge Eight' pamphlet shows a rendering of a body color chassis. I do believe that it was only a DK Straight 8 thing as my fenders should also be body color and they are black on the DL Straight 6. 

[Early 30s Brake Drum Paint]

Hello, 

 

I have a 1932 Dodge Brothers DK8 and according to the paint charts the chassis is suppose to be body color. My quandary has to do with what product to use to paint the brake drums. First off, I live in the mountains of Maryland so warm/hot brakes can be an issue. My paint rep says that he doesn't have any paint that will withhold the heat brake drums might reach and my powder coating guy says the powder coat might burn off as well.

 

I know a lot of early 30s vehicles have color chassis and just wondering what everyone did to match their brake drum color. 

 

Thanks!

Kyle

I have an extra rear from a '36 Dodge in the high 3 ratio 3.78 or somewhere around that, can't remember off hand. We can check measurements if you want. Where are you located?

Jpage,

 

Do you still have the 36 rear available? I'm trying to correct my 1932 Dodge and finding that the 9.5 diameter rings are non-existent, so I might need to swap the entire rear and a 3.78 ratio would be great!

Looking for a 4.1:1 ring and pinion for a 1932  Dodge Brothers DK  8 Cylinder.

 

It is a 4.1:1 ratio and is has a 9.5 ring outside diameter. Commonly found is the 6 cylinder 4.1:1 with the 8.75 outside diameter, but that won't work, the 8 cylinder needs the 9.5 outside diameter. 

 

It should cross with most Chrysler and DeSoto 8 cylinders autos including the airflows.
