Look like post '24 touring cars to me, yes DB. The roadster looks like early '20's. Notice the gear shift extension. Remove knob, put on extension and then replace factory knob. They are a casting.

6 lug wheels in the back and 7 in the front. 7's are from '17 or '18, car is mid '20's.

I know nothing about your carb, BUT apparently Stan Howe does. I would at least try his suggestion. PLUS, the new ethanol crap is said to need smaller jets, adj. etc. then REAL gas. Maybe that is his reasoning. I would at least put it on and drive it to see how it works. THEN decide to change it.

Perfect

I think the '38 nose is the best from the '30's. The truck looks perfect, especially with black tires.

He knows that Ron is on the way and he better show some progress.

Last phone number I have is 6608324378.

He's hit the big time, he has a feature in the new AACA magazine for his 1938 DB pickup. I hope you are going to the DBC nat'l meet in the finger lakes in June. Sounds like it's going to be a big truck meet, not large trucks just a lot of them..

Do a search on this forum. They have exact duplicates for most running boards.

The running board trim is available from L&L, hard to communicate with. The floor trim is simple bent aluminum.

Once again, very interesting pics I have never seen. Notice the roadster closest to the camera in last picture has the spare mounted in the side in what looks like an official mount. Not just tied on.

Matt, not sure why you are making a big deal out of this. From the book I read about Burt Munro he ground his cams on a bench grinder, then filed then and polished. But of course he was a Kiwi.

Rich, Matt could easily take this on. Instead of watching the neighbor's cows eat grass he could be productive.

That would be a good side line business for your spare time, Matt.

Roos or idiots don't stand a chance with that front bumpers. Be safe Ron.

Watch out for roos Ron. Are you stopping to straighten out Matt before he makes a mess of this touring car?

Well, at least we will see some progress once Ron gets there. I'm falling asleep in anticipation.

That's clever, basically a transmission in the differential. How does the reverse work? They were all thinking but in different ways.

Has Ron shown up yet to supervise?

Flushing the discs with brake clean should help. Trans oil should be as thick as possible. As stated in other threads some even mix in tubes of grease. My truck had the starter removed when I bought it. I decided at the last minute to pull the oil pan as the truck had been sitting for a few decades. The mouses had built a nest so that I could not see the crankshaft for the cotton.

Dodge Brothers used two keys but I have never seen a steel spider before, only aluminum.

Empty engine oil can

This an original battery case, date in 1915.

Jarvis in Ore or Wash. can help you. He advertises several places. I have lost his email.

Your glove box manual MAY say something like effective after serial number XXX. I will be super surprised if you can absolutely come up with a real number of each. In the early cars, which I am more familiar with, they gave ending numbers but there were always exceptions when they used old and new parts. My theory is they never produced two DBs exactly the same. The info Scott gave might be as close as you get. Good luck. last Sunday I saw a second series '35 pickup at a cars and coffee type event, big V8 and a wood barrel in the bed for a gas tank.
