I have fixed a few with the bolt also. It is best to find some sort of sleeve over the bolt threads to save the small cable. The screw threads will break it fairly quickly. Small piece of plastic pipe works great. Tom

FYI WD 40 works great for starting without the damage either can cause . Tom

Real Nice! Charles does his rebuilds the way there supposed to be done. These old Dodges are very rugged and reliable. I bet it's right at home on the farm! Well done! Tom

Looks to me like the electronic ignition module. Tom

Downshifting is controlled by a electric switch mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket under the dash. Controls a solenoid in the transmission on the valve body. Make sure the single wire plug on the left side of the Trans, case above and behind the selector linkage is connected. Can be pulled...

There's no belt in the heater. Sounds like the motor needs to be replaced. You can drill a small hole in the rear bearing(bushing) and oil and remove the fan wheel and also oil. Will help but the motor is probably on it's way out. To go through the work of removing I would just replace it. Tom

A Chained up deuce is hard to stop IMO! Friends Truck in N. ID. 11/09 TOM

Have you checked the pivot bushing on the frame rail bracket? it could be missing or wore out. I would check that and the rest of the linkage from the transmission up. TGP

Those are the GP resistors behind the plate. A little smoke after first try with new GP is not uncommon especially if none or few of the original GP worked. What happens is grease/oil film builds up on the resistor pack, and when you load them for the first time,the heat burns off the crud. You...

DangerRanger answered that for me. I do have a few pictures of the "doghouse" mod. Tom

I talked to Bob last week and he informed me a Fellow from TX bought the truck. The truck is awesome up close too. His skills and eye for detail are amazing. It's been to the IA rally several years now. Tom

Yes those are orginals, and very hard to find. You can contact Charles at M series Rebuild. He rebuilds a lot of trucks and offers up buckets of Good used bolts for sale at a decent price. I know he just got rid of some on the Dodge site. Check and see if he has more. Click this Link...
