    New acquisition: 1940 Dodge VD-21 Panel Wagon.....1/2 or 1 ton?

    The "one ton" that I have is too long to be the same as a Carryall. Similar.....just too long. The 1/2 ton panel trucks, though, are the same body as the Dodge 1/2 ton WC-10 Carryall and.......its the same as the 3/4 ton WC-53 Carryall body. They used the same body (with some minor variations)...

    New acquisition: 1940 Dodge VD-21 Panel Wagon.....1/2 or 1 ton?

    The 1-ton panel truck wheel-base is 125". I bought it apart, and just finished putting the front clip and back fenders on.

    Vintage Iron I don't really know anything about the history of the WD-21 panel truck.....other than it used to belong to one of the local MVCA members years ago. And it has an old Carpet Company sign on the side. We do have it together now.

    What is this........???

    I just acquired a new M37, and have a feeling that this is a "rectifier" for a radio truck. But not sure. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet. It's mounted in front of the radiator.....for cooling? It does have a radio antennae mount on the left side of the bed. The antennae is...

    My first MV, an M43.

    I bet mine is uglier than all of your's! LOL!! Usually if the truck will start at all......and it appears to not running on all cylinders. Its because some of the valves are sticking "open". We buy and sell about 25 non-running trucks a year......that we get running. And 9 out of 10 have stuck...

    New acquisition: 1940 Dodge VD-21 Panel Wagon.....1/2 or 1 ton?

    I haven't found much info on the 1940 Dodge WD-21 Panel Wagon trucks. This one has "6-lug" wheels. Which I would think are for 1 ton trucks. I think they are 20" rims......not sure yet. I don't have possession of it yet.....and won't be able to run the serial number.....or check the data plate...

    LOL! I understand the situation with your wife.........been-there, done-that. Flowers usually fix most faux-paus like that. Re: draaaagging brakes....You probably have a stuck wheel cylinder. If they've sat for over a year.....humidity builds up in the cylinders, and the alloy pistons corrode...

    60Buick You did the right thing by pulling off the head. When we decide to get an engine running......after it set for 40 years.....we run a compression test. If they are mostly zeros....we pull the head. And most of the time its the "gundge" that is holding the valves open. We us a special...

    Is this WW2?

    I used to be in the antique firearms business.....and I think part of the passion, was to do research on the weapons. To me, linking the rifle or pistol to someone in the military was especally gratifying....and gave the weapon a "real personality". David
