Ragdol :      I would be very interested in that read end if you can find the drums and hubs.   If you  find them give me a shout . A couple of the forum members gave me some leads that I will check out .  If I find any thing  I will inform you  so you can stop your search    Thanks so much for your reply

Thanks Engenjo:    I'll give them a call.  You are a walking encyclopedia of old car Information. And another guy I would love to pick your brain also



   Thanks  BOWTIETILLIDIE  

Thanks Wayne for the mopar information    I book marked it for future use
Thanks for your helpfulness on this forum.    Wish I lived in California so I could meet you and pick your brain. LOL  

Ragdol :      Check your Pm"s

Yes the are tapered axles.. like older Ford passenger car .  The hubs have been butchered and the brake drums were torched .  If any body has parts I will buy both axles both brake drums and both backing plates and related parts

I am in need of information on the rear axles, brake drums and hubs.  I have this pick up in my shop  another shop cut hub and brake drums off with a torch . I have ask every one I know about parts.  I think I can hear several still laughing. I am wondering if any one has old Hollander Manuals that will help with finding the right parts . May be possible to use later model parts on the old Dodge rear end.   Not being a good Mopar man the only thing I can add is the pick up is a model  B .
  Waiting for the laughter    Thanks in advance

Thanks Guys for all the help ....... I now know more than I ever wanted to know about rear end dimensions

Looking for the rear end charts that show the different widths of the rear ends.. I don't seem to be smart enough to put together a correct search string.  Thanks for the help in advance

We have found two Plater's in the great Lakes area That do OUTSTANDING work ...  We used booth on a thousand point Cameo pick up .... One is located in Grafton Ohio the other is located in mars Pa.  Sorry I don't have the names , as there are in the build book  along with the truck living with a new owner

Enjenjo :   Pictures are worth at least a !,000, 000 words .   This ol hill billy has always called them Ball Hones .  Have used a truck load of Ball hones
in my engine shop over the years    

This  is a new one on me .......   What is a Berry Hone
                MY lost mind wants to know :?:  :?:  :?:

When I was  still working we straightened lots of structural steel
with your flag pole , I would use two metal horses ( stands) .  Place the stands as far apart as possible ( about 6 inches of overhang on each end ) Turn the pole so the bend part is facing straight up. anchor the pole to keep from rotating.  Using a rose bud heating tip on your torch , heat opposite from the bend.   DO NOT use much heat I would start with about 500 degrees , you can buy temp sticks at your welding store .   As soon as you get to 500 degrees stop  start pining the heated area.   Want to see your progress ? Stretch a string the length of the pole after it has cooled down.
Depending on the bend it may take several heat applications.  Don't give up and don't try to hurry it may come easy or NOT , but it will come your way.  If you have more questions ask and I'll try to answer    

PS:Don't be temped to use more heat if thing aren't going your way.  If you get it to hot Like RED  you will have to start over. When this happens we always let it set then started over the next day
