  1. TG, you're amazing!! laugh.gif

    hahaha smile.gif

    I can't figure out who would like to buy and drive a DKW in US when the domestic cars were --uh.. MORE of a CAR?!

    Thanks wk's olds -

    There's also interesting cars on first video at 2:20.. Chrysler/DeSoto (?) Suburbans?? Got any better pics of those ?

    Any 30's MoPars at the yard?

  2. Hi John. Wow, what a small world. No, this one is not from Dieter,

    BUT I BOUGHT MY RED 1957 IMPERIAL FROM HIM IN 2000 !!! How's he(they) doing at the moment? Still got those oddballs ? smile.gif

    This white '64 Imperial came from near San Francisco. Kenyon Wills sold it for me, but it was located on Doc Bullocks Imperial-yard.

  3. Thanks Peter(and Ken too of course!)!! Now I'm much wiser again.. !! smile.gif

    Yep, the car was left to a yard in SF,CA in early 80's, and some parts were sold from it. I received the car for myself early this year.

    What I did:

    changed

    - distributor points

    - fluids and oils

    - coil

    - spark plugs

    - carb

    - water pump

    - 1 freeze plug

    - cleaned up gas tank

    - rebuilt the brakes

    It still needs some electrical work (and new exhaust system)and some test driving.

    But the 413 engine and tranny seems to work fine!!

  5. Is it something like in mopar water pump ? I remember chrysler using these pulleys in big blocks (atleast) '62-> ? I think my '64 has one as well, but never had to replace the bearing . Haven't you ever heard "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" ? grin.gif

  6. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dodge Deluxe</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Yes, my plates have five bolt holes. My Dodge service manual shows a diagram with them between the rear axle housing and oil seal as well, BUT... the diagram does not picture the brake mounting plate at all anywhere, so I really cannot go by that picture. Does your service manual show the brake mounting plate in the diagram that you are looking at? </div></div>

    I guess we are looking at the same picture, BUT, why would the shim plates be after the brake shield(on the drum side)? I guess the shim plates should tight up the horizonal movement of the rear wheel bearing?

    (wow, i hope you understand what I mean with my english smile.gif )

    You Finnish <span style="font-style: italic">poikas</span> are amazing! Don't ever let your Interpol membership expire.

    Great job!

    TG </div></div>

    Greetings, poikas from sauna

    Serial #'s can be found on front end of left frame member to rear of front spring hanger or just above rear front spring hanger.

    </div></div>

    Are you sure about this? I tried to find one from my trucks frame and never found anything cry.gif

    My frame has been sand blasted many years ago, so maybe the serial disappeared because of that???

  9. I tried to look up my 1939 Dodge parts manual if there's anything like those, but found out nothing. I can check my '38 Dodge truck's front suspension today if I see something like them.

    Can they hold for ex. brakelines to the frame?

    You can't find any empty bolt holes on your front end?

    And these weren't put anywhere on front springs? Some old DIY-fix?

    Ah, you never mentioned that you did front end fix.. ?

    What did you fix up from your car, or was it totally disassembled?
