Guest satellitekid Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) I just bought a 1925 dodge brothers screen side 3/4 ton truck. it looks to be all original other than the rattle can blue paint over the black paint and a working speedometer that is showing 371 miles with all metal ID tags still riveted to the dash or floor boards, even the warranty plate is still on the dash. I can't find much on these trucks as far as production numbers and such but it is missing the roof and the front right disc rim is a 21" all other wheels are 20". so I am looking for a 20" disc wheel if any one knows of one laying around with a good locking ring. any help would be appreciated!

Machinist_Bill Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Nice start for a project!I have a 20" wheel I would be willing to trade for a 21". After Christmas I will PM you and see if you are interested!Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest satellitekid Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thank you, it is a very solid truck my car from the 80's has more rust on it than this screenside does. I think I have located a couple of 20" disc wheels. I don't have any information on the motor as far as adjustment or maintenance. Doesn't seem like there are as much reference books like the Model T's have, but I might not be looking in the right places. Merry Christmas Everyone!

MikeC5 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) There are some available. The most comprehensive one is the original Dodge Brothers Mechanics Information Manual. Reprints can usually be found on Ebay or Myers has them too.http://www.myersearlydodge.com/image.php?ws_page=literature.php&ws_image=MVC-204F.JPG Edited December 24, 2015 by MikeC5 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayG Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Get a copy of the Mechanics Instruction Manual. Meyers sells it. This will have all of the basis information that you'll need for normal maintenance and adjustments. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan arnett (2) Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I would say that there are about the same amount of manuals avaliable for a Model T or Dodge. The two manuals mentioned will cover everything you need to know about your truck. If you have worked on a Model T forget everything you learned. The only thing that is the same is they both run on gasoline. Get both manuals and you are covered and then make sure you join the Dodge club. That is a nice truck that you will have fun with.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
