"Dumb Question" - That needs an answer

[Power Wagon Dude]

I 'mothballed' my 1923 D-B Screen Side - (2,500 Lbs.) with 33 x 4 Tube Tires for the COVID Lockdowns.

 

Now, I'm trying to 'De'-Mothball it. Looking in the Book of Information it says: "Check with Tire Manufacture."

 

I couldn't get through to Coker, so I'm asking the "Experts"?

 

When running 'empty' (Myself and a Passenger) - What Tire Pressure should I be running.

 

Thanks for ALL,

Donn, I don't know that I have ever seen specs for a screenside. Is there a separate Book of Information for them?

Maybe it could come under Commercial Car? 32x4 say 45 front and 55 rear. Try asking on Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/groups/DodgeBrothersMotorCars/ or https://www.facebook.com/groups/dodgebros/ 

There are a number of guys that are working on screen sides over there.

Sorry you feel that way about the people that post on the Facebook Dodge Brothers pages. I see very little BS on either of those pages, in fact pretty much mirrors what is posted here. One of the two I posted links for is the National Dodge Brothers Club Facebook page. I would say one would be best informed by getting and reading the Mechanics Instruction Manual, Master Parts list or Book of instructions. Dykes is a good supplement at best. 

Oh, by the way, here is AACA's Facebook page; https://www.facebook.com/groups/7846724972/

@Mark, I doubt Nat meant anything bad by it, I think he is hitting on the OP's original request to gain correct information and Nat is correct to suggest that original documented data (per manufacturer of the time) would be more precise than various opinions that may be floating around. I personally view all the information that folks provide collectively and make my decision based on facts that I can prove rather than random input. So again, I don't think that's a negative or knock on anyone, I think it just gets to the heart of being a purist who is looking for the time period correct data.
