Features 1950-1953 Plymouth & Dodge Thread....lets see what you got.

I'm finally to the point of putting a windshield in my 50 dodge wayfarer two door sedan.... Where's a good place to get the rubber weatherstripping from... I checked with steele's website and all I can find are the V ****ed gaskets and I want to keep my center post.... Any other places you guys know of???

 

try oldmoprarts.com he has a ton of parts for these cars, and a great guy to deal with.

 

My 54 has been lowered about 6 inches. Had to cut and raise a small section just in front of the diff.

 

you can get pretty low. move the spring plate to the bottom of the a-arm. drop your uprights and take out a coil up front. steering is the biggest problem. rear is simple. standard bs. blocks and dearched leaves

 

Thanks I will play with it and post some pics when I done

 

Here's my 54 savoy





S10 front frame clip and bagged, Chevy 250/700r4 lots of work left to do

Here she is. 53 Plymouth Suburban. Sat over 30 years in the desert of AZ. Started right up. Going to leave the pantina finish. Throw a surfboard in it and drive it.

 

Talk to a rep at Steele Rubbber I've bought 2 in the last 6 months, they have what you need

 

Yup, those old flatties are hard to kill.

 

I sold my 52 Belvedere 2 door hard top wagon to a friend. he just joined the HAMB and will surely start some up dates. the build is moving fast and Bob is quite a craftsman, I just gave up my 53 Buick headlight bezels for the project. visuallly dropped the nose 2-3 inches

 

Hello everyone,

My F-I--L has a '51 Plymouth that has been in his family since new. I havent seen it. I am told it has 15" tube tires on it but the tubes are bad.Just looking through the forums I can see there are multiple sizes. Does anyone know where I might find a new set of tubes and what info I need to order them? Car is in storage in North Carolina and he's trying to trailer it to FL to p*** it on to his nephew so it will remain in the family. I'm just trying to facilitate the process. I can be pm'd here or email works faster at tjayweaver@hotmail.com

Many thanks.

Posted in here a while back.. But since then I've rebuilt the whole car ground up & stuffed a 5.9 ***mins turbo diesel in it.. it's just about road worthy again.. Here's a couple up todate pics of my 1950 wayfarer first is before I tore it apart to rebuild..

 

The color on an Org. bottom side of a 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook.

What color was on the bottom of a 53 Plymouth?

The same color the car was or something else?

this is inspiring.....

 

Here's a few of my '50 Special Deluxe. So far rewired the whole car, discs on front dual pot master cylinder, T-5, relocated front shocks and cut off a coil, two inch blocks in back. Still running the flattie. Winter projects, rear axle and a new fuel system from tank forward. Ignore my POS cup holder.

Here's mine. She'll get a 318 auto, a crewcut, al***ude adjustment,floors and a shave.

 

Got this one last weekend.

 

Here's my 54 Belvedere I bought a couple weeks ago. Its an Aussie Built RHD, matching numbers and all original.

 

I love it - But It's too nice to do custom stuff to. Has any body ever put 55 ply headlights, and taillights on a 54 or 53?

 

Sweet cars, thanks for sharing.

 

I have seen the taillights added with a part of the 55 quarter to extend the 53-54 length a bit. Looks really good.

 

My Wagon:
Chromed the lower grille bar and both outer upper bars for a different look also frenched the headlights with 53 merc rings. I have since shaved the hood ornament.
