  1. Hi, 

    thanks for your reply. 

    This page from 1938 Dodge Dealer album says that with 136" wb, it could be RD-11, RD-16 or RD-21. But which one, since the data tag is missing as well as the serial number.

    In the old papers its said that max gross weight is 6000 pounds.

    is there away to identify the chassis wothout any tags?

  2. Hi, 

     

    I have a problem with my crew cab. I think I know ,that it started it's life as a "flat-faced-cowl" type of chassis, was rebodied here in Finland. I know for sure that the Wheelbase is 136". How can I tell what's the "real" model type for it? In the Finnish registration papers was 'RD-136" ', but I believe that's not the real model type? Even though It may have been manufactured in Canada, how can I tell? 

     

    Thanks!

  3. Thanks for the replies guys, TG, too bad we are on our way home when the meeting is held. It would have been a pleasure to meet you!! And see those Lincolns. My friend here in Turku area has those too. '37, '57, '64 conv and '64 sedan.

    I've rode in his '57 many times.

    We are arriving at Orlando airport on monday evening. (That's the airport we are going back too ) .

    Great to see there's activity in nearby counties. :)

  4. Jeff, I'm not quite sure what model is it.. I haven't checked the serial tag yet... It's located in frame behind front wheel. I'm starting to be too old to bend myself that low (just turned 30years) ... 845 5 passenger it is, no jump seats.

    It's really cool vehicle!! You can really see the BEST engineering work of the era when you look at it. It even has "Free Wheeling" handle located under dash :) LOL

  5. Thanks guys.

    I guess it went like this: "The man who owns a Pierce-Arrow envies no one" :)

    So, that's the way I'm feeling now. ;)

    Jeff, I didn't want to "shout it out loud" until I really had it. You know, anything could happen... It's a 1935 model 845 (with straight 8) .

    Orange engine? Sorry Roger, I will put a 440 under the hood - I was thinking Mopar Turqoise.

  6. Yes thanks, got this info too:

    "Yes, you should have it rebalanced because the new pistons are slightly

    larger thus slightly heavier, so it would put it out of balance. Those

    dealership setups all the parts are pre-balanced so that when they assemble

    the engine it will be somewhat close. That’s why they are taken out of the

    packages and assembled without a second thought. "
