Hi guys,
Finally, I'm going to Florida to meet my brother, who has lived there more than 10 years.
He also has my "new" 1964 Imperial LeBaron waiting for me there. (YES!!!
)He lives in Zephyrhills near Tampa and I will be there 24th february till 10th march.
My other brother(who comes with us) is all they way interested on muscle cars etc but I really like to see something much older stuff.
Where do you guys think would be good places to visit?!??! Has AACA any activity there?
Thanks!
-
Correct me if I'm wrong,but I think these "bad files" are .jpg -files.
(Yes!!! I am a macintosh user
) -
thanks! You were right. Those were the correct parts!!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
GREAT!!
-
First time I've seen one! Looks great!
-
Tried to follow the instructions again and brushed more further back of the frame.. Still nothing.. hmm.. Would it be possible if on 38 models the serial number would be in different place?
I asked this about one guy who owns '38 Dodge PU but haven't got an answer yet..
-
Anyone knows about 1938 commercial car engine/tranny/frame/axle colors?
-
I might be interested on rear fender mounting brackets(fender to frame) and also rear fenders if they are good. I need also those CDPD -bolts that coil and other stuff on firewall has been mounted with.
-
Please, check the picture attached. Can anyone tell which ones ARE CORRECT for '38 Dodge PU ? I don't want to buy the wrong one.. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Feels like I'm talking to myself..but.. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I tried to look again with flashlight - but found nothing.. Altought there was some strange piece of iron bolted to the frame on place b..
The car has had "wood fume -fuel system" during the WWII so it might be something to do with it. It is attached with 2 bolts, too bad the other has a welded nut. So it takes a little time to get it taken apart. (because I don't have any tools in my new garage yet!!)
Oh, and I measured the wheelbase. It is 136".

Hey, sounds great! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I will try to search more today. Nooooh... Just read the "instructions" slowly.. I tried to look around left rear spring .. Well, got more boost on this !! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Can you post a few pics of your truck?
It would be great, if I could find a press photo showing '38 Dodge Truck with flat face cowl, but I think
it might be impossible??
-
Aaagh.. Today.. Again.. Taking pictures and trying to find the number..I couldn't find any.. !?!?
Well.. the search continues tomorrow..
The weld line goes about half way the windshiled.
Check the pictures:
..oh .. here's me and my new garage :-)
-
Did you noticed this one on ebay??
-
Thanks bob, I will check the weld line.
Bill, these were the only numbers I found:
On chassis(next to engine) is this number:T60-5205
On firewall : K-15-0-LR 754
There was nothing next to leaf spring at rear.
I still didn't measure the wb <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />...
OK, how can a man tell if it's a English -production or Canadian or American, if that's all the codes there are?.
How do they differ?
Here are more photos. My truck has 6 bolt wheels with nuts at the front wheels and bolts at rear. Is this normal??
Yes, more stupid questions <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks a lot again for your replies.
A little hope from the mailman : I received DODGE TRUCK PARTS LIST from Canada today(Cost $12 on Ebay <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> )Issued: January 15, 1938.
Includes models:
Dodge : MC,MD,ME,MF,MH
Fargo : FE1, FE2, FE3, FE4, FE6
Too bad, it is about year 1937 model series.
But in this book, I can see that
FLAT FACE COWL:
BODY SYMBOL DODGE FARGO
K-1-0 MC FE1
K-15-0 MD FE2
WINDSHIELD COWL:
K-2-0 MC FE1
K-16-0 MD FE2
K-4-0 ME,MF,MH FE3,FE4,FE6
-- So, my truck is has exported from CANADA as a flat face cowl. Makes sense when you look at the windshield frame. No english men involved (thank god, sorry <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> )
So, T-60 should be enough to tell what size the engine is?
I found some T-'s from my book..:
for example Dodge Truck 1 ton:
Modelcode: Symbol No.Cyl Cyl.Bore Capac.in Tons WB
MD-21 T-30 6 3 3/8" 1 ton 136"
MDX-21 T-38X 6 2 7/8" 1 ton 136"
What means "line registration"?
I couldn't find cylinder head casting numbers.. There was nothing on the head.
But intake casting number: 675151-3
Clutch Bellhousing: 579298-1
21.10.38
Does this help ???

Hey, thanks for replies! Thank god someone knows something :-)
On chassis(next to engine) is this number:T60-5205
On firewall : K-15-0-LR 754
The body was manufactured in Helsinki, Finland , GOOD GUESS!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
By a body shop called Oy Suomen Autokoriteollisuus AB (Finnish car body manufacturer limited). This one was only dodge they did the body - I really don't know why - They rebodied several Fords and Chevys - but this one was only Dodge.
How can I tell if it is 3/4 ton or 1 ton? I think the wheelbase is 136", haven't measured it.
So, that 25" engine is because of canadian built?
DodgeKCL, do you have any books on these canadian 30's mopars?`
Any ideas about how many of these "bare-chassis"(without body) 1938 Dodges were manufactured?
I will check the head casting numbers tomorrow.
Here you can see the patch that covers the block casting number <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Check this out and if you can answer on something, it would be great!!

I have managed to get a 1938 Dodge truck - I believe that it's 3/4 ton with 136" wheelbase.
I have tried to get any information about this one all over the world -but got only small pieces from here and there. It would be great, if you could help me out a little bit.
My truck has - an original - bigger flathead six engine that was used on Chryslers and DeSotos. The chassis and body numbers tell(ok, with more info, no they don't tell..!!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ) , that the car has been assembled in England. And originally manufactured in Canada as an export model??
The car has been shipped to Finland as a bare chassis with - I believe - hood, grille, firewall, fenders, running boards, dashboard and chassis with drivetrain. In Finland the local car body manufacturer has made the body on the chassis and also the bed in 1938.
Where could I find any info about production numbers(on chassis's, Canadian made '38's) about how Canadian made cars differ from US-made ? WHAT IS THE ENGINE SIZE?!? the cast number is lost, because the block has frozen at some point and theres a big patch at the side of the engine.Where was the canadian plant? Where did they assemble these cars in England? Advertisements? Factory photographs? even from US made Dodges?
This car was my grandfathers dailydriver in the forties/fifties when working at finnish "girls juvenile home".
I will include a photo of the car as a link to my schools web pages. Note that rear fenders are missing as well the sides from the bed.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for someone who would be willing to take my '39 Hudson(not running - no brakes) from Scottsbluff, NE to Los Angeles, California.
Let me know,

Yes, average income tax is about 50% in Finland.
AIK, I'm sorry I said that with
Of course, I'll understand, in every country if prices go up FAST everybody are unhappy, at that's the right way.US has always looked like the land of low priced gas and a dream country to own a car,a BIG engined car, for the guys who lives in Europe. Thrust me
-
Is the state and local taxes something you have to pay for every item you get out from a store? like sales tax? In Finland we have to pay 22% that ... For every item or service.
-
OK, hey, we could compare what average stuff costs here in Finland... ;-)
Like a bottle of Jack Daniels Blavk Label Whisky 0.7 litres: 43 USD
A new 2005 Chrysler 300 with hemi engine? Guess !!?!?!: 104 000 USD (YES!!!)
1 litre milk: 1.23 USD
A bottle of Coca Cola 1.5 litres: 3 USD
One Big Mac meal (with fries and 0.3 litre coke) in MacDonalds about: 7.4 USD
Motor Trend Classic -magazine:10.5 USD
rent on my apartment 2 rooms + small kitchen, 44 m2 is 550 USD + water + eletric bills/month
Starting pay for average engineer(degree is bachelor of science in logistics, for example) is about 2600 USD/month
If you have televison you have to pay 250 USD/year "television licence"
What comes to insurances on cars we have to pay about 1000 USD(cars with over 3.5 litre engines) that covers only damages done to the other cars, if we hit something + we have to pay extra for "voluntary insurances", if our car burns etc etc. Then there's also + 100 USD/year/each car that we have to pay if our car is registered, it's called "car using payment" + we have to take our cars to inspected for every year + 40 USD/year. Of course we don't have road tolls, but our roads are in very bad condition because of our climate.
I would gladly like to hear what those things cost in USA.
We have, in Finland almost highest taxes in the world(atleast that's what people are talking about).
In gas there's 65% tax.
Yes, we have good social benefits, we do not need insurances if we get sick. Yes, that's a good thing, but there's always the darker side for that as well.
If I would be unemployed I'll get about 1200 USD / month. Depends of course, what I have earned on previous years.
I might get some help for paying the rent of my apartment. If I earn less that 700 USD/month.
Don't shoot me, but do you guys understand HOW MANY people in Finland just live with these benefits and don't even want to go to work?!!?! I don't know BUT MANY!! There's MANY people that spend their rent money on liquors + who knows what, and you could always get more money from social centres.. !!
My bigger brother moved to Florida over 10 years ago and he said that he will never come back. I guess he knows :-) Even though he's a pilot(yes, i believe that it's very hard to get a job in US nowadays) and had a cancer year ago. (he recovered).
Little bit out of topic, but just to let you guys know.
Gas, 1/4 gallon cost about 0.86 USD in 1998 in Finland.
PS. I never ment that because we pay this high, you have to pay it as well. No, I ment that you should be happy with your prices ;-)
-
Thanks for you replies guys -
Of course, all those parameters weren't so accurate.
I guess I could manage without V8 ;-) or "lot's ofr repro parts available"
I guess '46-'51 MoPars would be a cheap cars to get.. atleast as a 4 door?
What comes to old Saab.. I wouldn't touch them even with a long stick! Nor other european/japanese cars. I have only had USA cars in my life, and let's keep it that way

I'm looking for a steering gear box and sttering wheel for '38 Dodge 1 ton.. Let me know what you got,
thanks
