DodgeKCL, I do not have the measurements, but i might get estimated measurements from my truck. I do believe that 1938 1/2 ton has different brackets.(the lower "bolt/rivet" is bolted under side of the frame, not side-"bolted"..

No problem, actually, I bought one yellow AC NOS oil canister assembly couple years ago for my -38 Dodge truck. I didn't know them it was for Chevy. Now I'm thinking should I use it or not It fits like a glove, but still... The oil filter in that it quite awesome, the original at least, in shiny black/yellow color!!!

from here: http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/ ??

also need left hand taillight holder "rod" and rear fender support rod!! thanks!

These are from 1938. Need the ones(6) in the pictures. Might be same on other year models!? The have been riveted(?) to the frame originally. Mine has been thrown away, these were not for sale, but atleast got the pics. helphelp!! email: mika(dot)jaakkola(at)mac.com

wk, i love to watch your videos! Maybe I'll have to send my '38 Dodge Truck rear fenders to your wife as well!!!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: charlier</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Do you mean work gloves, winter gloves or racing gloves???? </div></div> Racing gloves of course. I need them when racing downtown against rice burners with my 1938 Dodge truck!! They help to do fast shifting with the orig 3speed manual transmission!!

I WAS SERIOUS!!

When are we going to have AACA -logo overalls?!!? (and gloves of course!)

If I remember correctly I had these books few years back and... Sorry to say, paid less than you have been offered.

Oh, I think this was the incident that Jay Leno was talking about on his garage-videos? Was this the only known Duesenberg that was scrapped or were there others as well?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Steve Braverman</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Continentals!!!!??? Mika, those are fighting words!! Franklins were known for having air-cooled engines. The engine was entirely of Franklin's own design and manufacture. These are the best photos I have of the Olympic's engine, showing it with and without the cooling shrouds. </div></div> Oooops Sorry, Steve. Thanks for the info. That Franklin photobook might be worth of purchasing?

Thanks Ragtop65! It might be on my budjet in next 10 years HarryJ, do you have pics of your Franklin? What kind of engines/trannys Franklins used? Continentals maybe, what about chassis? suspension? Can you guys tell us who don't know. Thanks!!

Atleast my '39 Dodge had a negative ground as well my '38 Dodge truck. I've heard that Chryco used + ground but never seen one live If your car has - ground, I do think that's original. Because - at my knowledge - if you convert the system to "other" ground that it really is, the starter motor turns backwards(if you don't remake the coil in it), and then you have a problem. Yep, sometimes they used engine number on titles.

more photos anyone? these are great!

Does anyone have a price guide, that shows the app. prices of these fine automobiles? (1932-33 Franklins) I think I'll have to add one for my must-buy list. These look so neat.

"1932 Plymouth PA Sedan (The one with water in it)" When are we going to see pics of this? Franklins are great Steve!! Nice to see the pics of your cars!!!

Where's the part where old Packard is on the go?

Well, I'm willing to give it a try. Atleast atleast I can more easily browse (makes)forums I've never even thought visiting before After couple of months no one even remembers how it was before

Thanks for the replies guys! I get back on this subject when the sale is completed, may be that I found something like it from the west coast. Yep, this car ain't that rare Or should I take them both ?

Peter, what's your comment on this? Should we try to get used to this new layout first before we shoot it down? Any thoughts from the Admins?

I have been looking for a car. An old one. Again. The one that atracts me is located in Minneapolis. OK, it's "regular" model car, not rare, not a real classic, it doesn't even run. But it's a kind a car that were used in Finland before IIWW. Actually there has been quite number of those, but all have been rusted away(well, the most atleast). I'm just thinking the options to <span style="font-weight: bold">get the car to the coast</span> where it could be shipped to Finland. What are the available options? Is it ALWAYS expensive to do? I know atleast that there are guys in Okeechobee,Florida, in Houston, Texas and in LA, California that ship the cars to Finland, but the road for those places from Minneapolis is loooong... Any suggestions? How and Where? You guys know better than me! Someone might ask why? Well, it's just me and my hobby
