Thank you Brad. Will file them in my book of numbers. It is amazing how many parts can still be had from NAPA or FLAPS without having to go to an aftermarket parts supplier. Bought wheel and master cylinders for the 49 from FLAPS at about one half the aftermarket guys charge.

Thank you Brad. And oldblu49, why don't you post the numbers you have on the brake parts? In fact I think having a list of common part numbers that are easily obtainable and lower priced is such a good idea I'm going to talk to the administators about having a forum on it where all can post thier info. Thanks again gentlemen.
And I'll keep you posted om how it turns out.

Well here ya go pilgrim, add these to the book;
Stant Thermostat, 1937-58, #13006/160°F or #13008/180°F and a gasket #25138
Brad maybe the dislexia kicked in here, #10230 is a 16lb cap, try #10203 zero lb. for a rad cap 1957-52 and #10208 4lb for 1953-55 1st.
Oil filler cap, 1949-54 #10066
Fuel cap, 1937-70, #10623 regular and #10491 for a lock.
Might just carry this around with ya to the swap meet this summer.

I have a dealership Chev parts manual that covers up to 1963. It also includes a lot of casting #'s. It has been a lifesaver and I am willing to look up missing #'s if they will help. The part of the book relating to internal engine pieces is missing, so no help there.

The old GM Glass Sediment Bowl style fuel filters*:

Housing # is: GM 854392 (I've seen them with AC and the same number, as well.)

Filter Elemets that work are as follows:
GM 854347
AC Delco GF124
Fram CG3

Fram has a whole list of other vendors' numbers that the CG3 will fit.

*Jim Carter sells these, as does American classic

Does anyone know the gasket or o-ring for the fuel filter metal inlet and outlet ? I found a glass bowl that was not being used by a friend after I dropped mine.
Not sure if the letters on the metal are for the glass bowl or the mount. Mine says in / out, then on one side of the housing, COVER NO 854392

If you're referring to where the fuel lines attach, those are usually either pipe threads (tapered) that would use pipe dope for sealing, or inverted flare type connections (similar to what's used on brake lines). No gasket needed on either type.
Check this link that comes up from your posted part number.

Ok, Looking for the gasket that goes above the glass bowl. Looks like part# 854390? I found a filter and a gasket kit together, WIX 33034, NapaGold 3034, Baldwin PF857. ~ $10 stocked at local NAPA!!!!

Thanks for the parts page!!! It helped confirm what I found!

You can buy the brass fittings for the inlet and outlet at Ace Hardware or any auto parts chain store.

When you purchase a new filter element, the gasket will be included.

Is yours a stand alone filter like this?

I can only find a 4# radiator cap for the 10230 for a 54.
The 0# caps only went up to 1952.

Anyone have a line on where to find a 0# for a 54 235

Is there a specific reason you don't want the 4 lb cap?

Are you worried that your system won't be able to handle the pressure?

My truck has an unmodified 1941 radiator and a vintage heater. It has a 4 lb cap on it and it has never caused any problems. The engine rarely exceeds 180 degrees so there isn't even the likelihood that the engine will ever reach the 224 degree level.

I think the 4 lb cap will work just fine. I also think the 0 lb cap for a 1952 would work as well. Was there some major design change to the radiator filler tube in '54 where the earlier caps won't fit?
