Calling the 'Brains Trust' again

I have a few things I can't identify and was wondering whether there's someone out there who can help...

First one, an exhaust manifold. It is new, and painted what looks like khaki. Someone said they thought it might be Dodge Weapons carrier.

It has a part number: 602366

This one is obviously from a gearbox or transfer case of some sort:

And the question here is what vehicle the part number relates to.

Keith,
You can rule out the manifold belonging to a Dodge Weapons carrier, (or any of the T214 motors) as the exhaust manifold has it's down pipe towards the rear of the engine, not centrally positioned. The dodge manifold also has a hotspot flap. Bedford maybe ?
Keep looking
Regards
Keith

The manifold has some features that are reminiscent of that used on 216 Chev engines but is for a variant/installation I have never encountered. Try comparing it with a known 216 manifold or head.

The needle and seat come up as being for 1941 Dodge T112 and T118 which are 1/2 ton 4x4 and 1-1/2 ton 4x2 respectively.

Thanks very much for the answers...

OK, I know what the part number is but it doesn't appear to be in the CMP Chev parts book, so I was hoping someone will have a book with it's true purpose noted.
Group 1205A Part 2417140. The part number was not quite distinct on the pack.

It's a spring, about 20mm or 3/4" long, painted Chevrolet engine grey.

What it is similar to is the spring on the front bolt on a cab where it meets the bracket on the chassis, under the hole for the the crank handle, although it is slightly thicker and shorter - a pair of them would make about the correct length.

Pardon the blurry image - it's getting dark outside!

Hi Keith, is it the gearbox mount spring that alows for some movement?

Lynn Eades · #7 18-07-12, 10:15

I dont have a parts book, but what about a steering joint (adjustable drag link), or from behind the snail adjuster on the brake backing plate.

Keith Webb · #8 18-07-12, 10:45

Thanks for the suggestions... the drag link spring is 655861 and I think this is a little small for that...

They could almost be clutch plate springs, a fairly useless spare part... I can't find a diagram of the rear engine mount, and am not familiar enough with the way GM designed these.

The number for the spring does not appear in CCKW,DUKW or Staghound SNLs. Group 1205 deals with Master Cylinder strangely enough.
Group 1205A, no listing.

Just scratched the wax off the pack and the group should read 1203A, and the part (now also without wax) is #477440 - the '#' symbol was confusing - sorry to put you on a false goose chase!
But the part number still doesn't seem to be in a CMP book.

That's more like it Keith.

Spring, brake Shoe, Friction. Applicability. Chevrolet 1941-42 1-1/2 ton 4x2 trucks built for US Army. Number required 8.

Brilliant... now I know I have lots of something almost completely useless!

I must try them on the Ford front shell mount.

peter simundson · #13 18-07-12, 15:34

When I was putting my Chev CMP together I looked everywhere for the small body mount springs.

Couldn't find them.

I worked in the Overhead Door business and was unpacking operators one
day and noticed the clutch adjustment springs were similar. Went to
the stockroom and took a couple to compare.

Exactly the same. On they went.

If you look at your picture of the body mount spring and bolt it does look like 2 springs stacked together....
