Hello everyone, Its been a while since my last post but I didnt have time to work on the truck too much. Can you please tell me which side of the seal goes into the axle tube? I have bought a set on ebay and Im having a hard time trying to figure it out. Also when installing the seal and the bronze ...

Thanks guys! You are very helpful! I will give it a try with a slide hammer and this puller if I can find it online somewhere.
Another thing that I was wondering about are the shims. What is the purpose of those? Do I need to replace them or can I re use the old ones?

Thanks again!

Hello, Im in the process of replacing my wheel cylinders and flexible brake hoses. Since I already took the drums and brake shoes off I thought about going further with this and stripping down the entire steering knuckles and hubs and replacing the seals and bearings. I can see that gear oil is gett...

I had the same problem with my accelerator pump. I cleaned and rebuilt my carburetor using a rebuild kit and the the plunger that came with the kit is the one on the left. It was very tight in the bore but I decided to give it a shot. The truck ran terribly with hiccups under load and completely no ...

Thank you for clearing that up! I didnt know it. Im still having a professional do the swap for me though

Hi Mike, Broken leg? That has to be difficult to do most anything!. Anyway, to your questions. My responses are based on my experiences and preferences and are by no means "the gospel" as some others may share their preferences that may differ from mine. Tires-I used new tubes with my old...

Hello Gentlemen! Its been a while since I visited here the last time. Thank you for all your replies. I haven't done anything with the truck yet and since I broke my leg recently I will have plenty of time to study the manuals and the forum. So far I have ordered a set of dataplates that my truck wa...

Thanks for the comments guys. Im glad you like the truck :) The siren is an original 24 V Federal. I know it is not stock but Im glad its there - it makes a cool add on and it works! Same thing for the passenger grab handle and map light - its all very practical and doesnt stand out at all. The upho...

I dont know whether the engine was rebuilt but it runs very well and starts right up everytime. The voltage is good and my meter shows around 28 V when running.

Im trying to figure out a way to decrease the size of other pictures to post them. Everything in the truck works fine, ventilator fans, dome light, surgical lamp. I havent checked the gas heater yet but it all seems complete and in good condition.

Hello Gentlemen!

Thank you for a warm welcome! Here are some pictures of the inside.

Hello all! My name is Mike and I live in Poland. My dad and I have recently purchased a 1963 M43B1 Ambulance. Im new to these trucks although I already own a M151A2 but a Dodge truck is a totally different story. The tag on the glovebox shows a date of delivery of 11-63 and it matches the truck's fr...
