Hopefully the engine will look like this one. This is a 235 in a 58 Dodge power wagon.

Frank, try vintagepowerwagon.com . Here is an email from one of our members. Thought I'd pass it on to you. Good Luck !!
hello claude i checked the northern tracks forum tonight and i noticed that the new guy "oldsledz" was inquiring about a new front motor mount.they may still be available from after market suppliers.there are companys that make parts for the old dodge trucks which use the same mount.if he can't find one he could use a piece of conveyer belt of the right thickness and two bolts with locknuts.im registered on a forum called p15-d24.the members deal mainley with old dodge vehicles and i believe most members are from the united states.the web site is: www.p15-d24.com he could give them a try.they may be able to tell him where to get the mount.
oldsledz:
Funny you mentioned Vintage Power Wagons. I just finished restoring my 1952 Dodge m-37 army truck last year that has been in the family since 1962 and I dug up their old catalog.--Parts got ordered today. FYI you can also get parts from robertsmotorparts.com he does old dodge and chryslers. The good thing is you talk to the owner and he has a wealth of knowledge. He was amazed that the old bombers had chryslers in them.

Oldsledz keep us posted on your progress with pics & words. We don't have very many woody rebuilds. If you stain it I have a couple of pics of the pinstriping that you could use for reference.

This is a view of the dash area of oldsledz's 1948 b12.

Below is the email that Frank sent to me.
Claude, This is the interior shot of my '48 B-12 and Charles tells me this is the standard heater in this machine and they made a deluxe one that went over the clutch and brake pedal. All the photos look the same as my 48 except I don't have a dimmer switch on the floor like that one does. I would post photo on N.T. but the file is too big for the site so I figured I would just forward it to you. Good luck getting it home. Hope you find that tag. Frank
Does anyone know how many different original heaters were put into these machines. Below are a couple of pics of one of Cam's rebuilds. Does the heater on this one look like it's original ?
