1940 Plymouth truck It's great to see 40's era MoPars being brought back. Personally, I think they're the last of the affordable tin out there. Then again, try falling in love with this face........

re: California Kid Amazon.com has it avaiable on DVD. Originally it was a made for TV (only), but lately has become available on DVD. It is NOT a recording of a broadcast. The cost of the DVD is under $10. Ed W

There was a guy in Marine City who had a twin to our DeSoto. It was an original driver. He couldn't find anyone to take a look at it for 4K. That's a crime!

The price was right (my neighbor's Grandfather bought it new), I didn't really want it. Then we reconsidered building it into something that we can throw the dog & grandkids into & have fun. The idea being a collection of stone chips not trophies!

We've lost any street cred by doing a 48 DeSoto S-11 4 dr.

48 desoto 4dr Requesting a couple of answers/guidance here: 1) I know there are companies out there that sell seat belt shoulder harnesses, good quality items. What I'm trying to do is to keep the costs at a "starvation" low amount. If there is a shoulder harness/seat belt combination from a...

I think we can ALL relate to that part. It almost makes sense to dry wall as soon as the walls are wired BEFORE you put anything in the garage.

We have a 28' X 28' garage with a walk up second floor. It's detached from the house. It is soon to be insulated. It is wood construction, vinyl sided with a 10/12 pitch roof. The walls are raised off the cement floor the heighth of one row of cinder blocks. I have a 9' floor to truss distance...

Engines I've always had a soft spot for the Cadillac flathead V-8. From a visual standpoint, the idea of having the exhaust come from the top of the engine would be inpressive with a "band of snakes" set of headers. I would think the shear weight of the motor (compared to the Ford flathead V-8)...

48 desoto Thanks P.R. I must admit, it's reassuring to see (what appears to be) another solid (46-48) 4dr. His price is way more than what I can generate at this time. FWIW I wouldn't part it out either if it was mine to sell. I'd love to get it but no way near $1,500. Many thanks for your...

I'm right across the creek from Sarnia, how far are you? A parts car is a parts car! You bet I'm interested IF the price is right...................

Thanks for the tip. I purchased their remote oil filter unit that removes the oil filter mounting on the bottom plate of the oil pump. The problem I'm left with is the AN fittings that it takes. I had wanted to use (either) 5/16's or 3/8's line to the remote filter on top of the engine like the...

Okay, I need some help on the DeSoto. The issue is an interferance between the horizontal oil filter arrangement of a 440 MoPar and the input shaft of a power rack & pinion. What I need is (either) an oil pump end plate that allows a vertical filter or an end plate with fittings that allows for...
