Steve Braverman Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Is it the backing plates and shoes that are missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I believe that I have some front backing plates from a 1931 Dodge Brothers DH6 that are the same. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmdolan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Jose, What is the body style of the 30-U Plymouth that you are working on? I have any and every part that you could need for a 30-U restoration except landau bars for a convertible coupe. I'll attach a couple of 30-U pics for inspiration!

pmdolan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Oh, there we go! Your pics did not upload the first time I viewed the post. I see it's a 4 door sedan. Here are a few more pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dragin74 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Ok here is a good one for everyone. I found this one in Sweet Idaho, I dont know if it is a late 30U car or a 31PA. so to begin with how do I determine which year it is to begin finding parts and peices if that even matters.

keiser31 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 If the radiator shell is with the car, you may be able to tell. The 1930-U had a boxy radiator shell. The 1931-PA had a rounded radiator shell. Here are the 1930 and 1931 photos respectively..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragin74 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 That is the catcher I got a body, and a frame . no doors, decklid, anything. I am not sure the frame belongs to the car as the farmer had several fords. He didnt know what was what as the doors he had sitting in the car wernt even close. I gave $100.00 for it. since he did figure out it wasnt a 30's ford and he didnt want it in his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I believe that is all I have for the car and I also think that they are correct for your 1930. You might want to verify that with the guys in the Plymouth Forum. Edited February 28, 2022 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDar Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I have a complete 30 front and rear axle that has all the brake parts and the wooden spoke wheels and tires. Tires are rotten I'm sure. Big parts I can probably find but many small parts are at the bottom of endless piles which I have no use for but can't bring myself to throw away. This was a genuine Mexican taxi with boat gas tank, truck spring leafs for bumpers, 34 Chevy hood, Model A radiator and shell, Rambler engine, and the list goes on.

Judes 30U Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I have been unable to find an original radiator shell. I was fortunate enough to locate an original radiator, hood and fuel tank in Florida. I just got in from offshore today. I am looking forward to seeing if the fuel pump you sent me arrived yet Tom. Does anyone know if there are other radiator shells that will fit over the original Plymouth radiator, like a Ford model A around the same year for instance, or an aftermarket metal or fiberglass reproduction? For now I’m just trying to get it rolling again around the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
