Pinion seal 47 dodge truck

I'm looking for a pinion seal part number and brand for a 47 dodge 1/2 ton truck. Thanks, Greg

 

my 20 year old national catalog does not list it. maybe pull the old one and get some dimensions

Sent from my phone.

 

The other problem is getting it out. I wanted to see the new one so I can figure how to get it out. Thanks

 

Try Sweptline.org maybe. They have a lot of info on all of the old Dodge trucks. They've been happy to help people with earlier and later trucks, not just the '61-'71 Sweptlines.

 

If the axle is the same as the '55 that I have, the pinion seal is a royal pain to remove. I spent about 2 days trying to get it out. Mangled it pretty badly. I ordered one from Bernbaum's and luckily it fit perfectly. I think it cost me about $22 plus shipping. www.oldmoparts.com.

 

For any info re: parts, dealers, etc. join the: 39-47Dodge@yahoogroups.com as they have it all. I belong and it saves a ton of time researching this type of info. I have a '42 fargo and got the pinion seal installed with a speedy sleeve as the modern seal apparently doesn't seal as good as the older seal.

 

Sorry, I may have confused you... the speedy seal was just a precaution re: minor wear. The seal I used was the old Trostel p/n T5851. If you can get one of these your golden though the newer seals should work OK as well. Now at least you have a start.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll look in to it,
