[37 half ton brake line routing front.]

Thank you all for the help.  John

[37 half ton brake line routing front.]

OK, thanks   The only hole close and large enough is next to the upper shock mount. I'll see if the new hose reaches that far.

It's time to rebuild the glue bomb I built as a youngster. I really need a glue free front engine cover. It is clear plastic and exposes the 2 front pistons as they stroke in their cylinders. I am building it with the front mounted Potvin blower.  Message me.   Thanks,  John

OK, thank you. Where does the rear brake hose attach to the frame? John

[37 half ton brake line routing front.]

Can anyone post a pic or describe the brake line routing from the 4 way distribution block located between the drivers side of the engine and frame rail. Near the left front shock mount. Inside the frame rail. I have the master cyl./dist. block and rear brake/dist. block lines figured out. It's the lines going to the front brake hoses from the dist. block that I'm not sure of. 

Thanks,    John

[37 Dodge 1/2 ton pinion shaft/bearings question]

We have it figured out. The pinion shaft is tapered. The spacer fits only one way. Thanks for looking. John

[37 Dodge 1/2 ton pinion shaft/bearings question]

In the upper left corner look for the spacer between the 2 bearings on the pinion shaft. Does that spacer fit the shaft in one direction only or can it be switched end for end and still go into position on the shaft? 

Thanks,   John

Is there a problem with yours? 

[37 1/2 ton cab to frame bolts.]

Thank you all for the help. I think I understand it now.  John

[37 1/2 ton cab to frame bolts.]

Thank you Alan. I have seen those. DCM doesn't know how many or location of each configuration is correct for a 37. They know 39 thru 47.   John

[37 1/2 ton cab to frame bolts.]

This is what I have to work with. However, there are 6 holes in the cab floor indicating that there should be 6 bolt/spring assemblies I think. I know in 1942, 3 bolt/spring assemblies and one bolt (less spring) was the stock setup.  I believe that set up allowed for one bolt (less spring) to anchor the cab while the remaining 3 with springs, allowed some frame twist between it and the cab. Any help from the Brothers appreciated. John

[37 DB fire wall question.]

Don't tell John or Horace Dodge that I'm going to use some machined threaded rivets. 

 

[I need a set of 'glass rear fenders, standard width, for a 37 DB half ton.]

SRPM is between suppliers and attempting to set someone up to resume production. I prefer steel, but a viable set is near unobtanium status.   What have you?    John

[37 DB fire wall question.]

Thanks Dave.  Looks like a cold rivet of some sort. Even if I had the pieces I wouldn't have the tool to install. Picture me scratching my head.   John

[37 DB fire wall question.]

Engine side of the firewall. Above the coil. 2 pressed countersunk holes, one above the other. Fasteners in each hole secure the cowl vent lever assembly to the firewall. Can anyone describe the stock fasteners? The holes measure approx. 1/4" diameter. I say approx. because the holes are punched rather than drilled. 

Thanks,   John

By the way, here are some pictures of the 1937 truck I am looking at. Appreciate any thoughts regarding general condition, etc.

Vic, It's barely a parts truck! Keep looking. John

[For your viewing pleasure.]

Seen at Good Guys Des Moines over the weekend. 

[aftermarket radiator for 1936 humpback panel]

Was the original core the honey comb style? Do you want to duplicate that style? If not, any good radiator shop should be able to recore it with a straight fin modern core for a reasonable price I believe. Are the sheet metal brackets and upper and lower tanks in usable condition? 

[37 radiator cradle question]

Thanks for your ideas. I used chair leg rubber cups cut and ground to fit. The core is 17 1/4" wide where it contacts these fittings so I left enough rubber to cushion well and leave room for adjustment. Once the core is in place I will adjust the two fittings evenly so they put slight pressure on the core sides to helpstabilize it.  The only core mounting points are the 2 countersunk screws on top of the core and the 4 smaller countersunk screws along both sides. Those mounting points are in sheet metal and relatively high on the core. I like that the 'Brothers included these 2 lower adjustable fittings. Makes for a Ram Tough assembly!  

[37 radiator cradle question]

View is looking at radiator cradle from the rear, passenger side. The arrowed fitting appears to to be one of two adjustable pieces intended to add stability to the radiator core. There is one located on the driver side as well. The fittings would require a rubber pad to cushion them against the core. Are the rubber pads  available anywhere?  Thanks. John

Much appreciated Dave. Be safe on the road. John
