1945 Dodge APT

[Bob Carriere]

Bonjour from rainy Ottawa...

.......damp and feels like the West coast.

A lot of the powertrain is a similar or identical ....... best source of info....free...is the catalogue online at Vintage Power Wagon in Fairfield. They will even give you technical advice on the telephone.

You will find that the gear cluster will interchange but the over all dimension (width) of the axle will be different.... spring pads slightly off.... mind you with a hot wrench anything can be made to fit. Rims, brakes, all the same... inner axle shaft will not interchange....different lenght.

Engines and tranny should be the same....of course the APT will only have a single speed T case...... but could esily be converted to 2 speed with a T case transplant. Shocks will be different.

Not sure if the Canadian APT would have the 236 or the Canadian 251...US models used the 230 c.i. The 236 or 237 was usually an industrial block and the serial number would have IN as part of the serial...

When will the proud daddy show us some pictures....?
