Wow, I guess my Dyslexia is back, I don't know how many times I looked at this page, but you are correct, there is no call out for the Ferrule for the 1192.

It would seem that the larger heads would be the logical ones to use. I went through a box of old interior parts I have and did find 4 sheet metal screws with the larger heads.

Thanks BigKev.

If someone with 1601, 1192 can verify I would appreciate that.

Here's a picture from the parts book

I have a physical parts book I purchased long ago

I have a question concerning the screws that hold in the trim piece for the rear door for a '38, model 1601 (body 1192). In the parts book, index 30.4810, the screws listed are Packard part #6767 (50.025).

My question: is this a mis-print? Are the screw heads for the rear windows larger than the all the rest? Should the part number be 6761 like the ones used to attach the trim piece for the Windshield, Rear Quater window Wings, and the rear window. The 6767 has a regular head (.308 dia.) and the 6761 has a 6D head (.279 dia.).

Thanks Forum Ambassador, I looked through that parts book for what "X" meant and never could find it. Now I have to re-evaluate other areas I'm working on to include the "X" items.

I removed the rear fenders on my '38 and they are in worst shape than I expected, more bondo/fiberglass than metal.

I am looking for a solid set (left and Right) of fenders for '38 model 1601.

I removed my running boards to get them restored on a 1938 Packard Jr, model 1601, 8 cyl. and one side had a rubber insulator (324851) on the topside of the frame bracket, a metal spacer (326640), cant tell if a lower rubber spacer was used on the bottom side of the frame bracket (had to heat the bolt up to remove them, a lot of smoke) along with the nut, lockwasher, and washer, the other side did not have the insulator(s) and spacer?

The parts book has an "X" in the Per Car column, so their not used?

Does anyone know if the rubber insulator(s) and the metal spacer are the correct configuration? Or, was the running boards were mounted directly to the frame brace? It seems to me that you would want something in between the metal bracket of the running board and the frame bracket.

Also, the parts book calls out a "lower" Insulator but the part number doesn't show-up in the 50.945 section. There is an "X" in the per car column so I guess I don't need to worry about it?

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Peter Packard, did you use the installation instructions for the 1601 that pushed the motor and trans back?

I'm restoring my '38, 1601 that had a '49, 288 shoved in it. From what I can tell, whom ever did the modification, followed more of the instructions for the 2001 or 2301, but did not use the engine support frame brackets form the kit, they opted to cut the front frame holes where the original mount went forward the 3/4" (not sure what spacers were used). They cut the radiator cradle and modified the radiator mounting so it could be pushed forward. They also cut the upper and lower radiator splashers 3/4".

The radiator cradle seems to be modified more than what is stated in step 11 of the instructions?

I'd be interested if anyone can provide the "template" that marked off-fender flanges (what are these?) on both sides. The inner fender splashers of mine have been cut and bent, the instructions does not mention that these get modified.

That does look a lot better than the two I have. It also looks like there is no interest to have new ones made, oh well, I tried.

I’ll pm you to get a reasonable price.

BigKev, I have that picture in my parts book too. It doesn't show 11.005.

The only thing I can think of is, the belt assembly is the metal strap that is welded to the radiator. It includes the 4 radiator mounting brackets (2 on each side) and the bottom bracket.

Since the front end of my car was hacked up a bit to stuff a '48 motor in it, I'm trying to figure out if I have all the correct parts the original '38 had.
