A lot of the Dodge truck parts I've been buying for my 51 are covered in
cosmoline. The army used lots of dodge power wagons during that era and
a lot of the parts for the power wagon are the same as the 51. Trust me, its
no fun to try and clean off your parts after its sat for a few years. It sure
does work though!
