Hi, I'm starting out with rebuilding the engine , looking for a crank, is junk, it spun # 5 and cracked it , bought it that way ! Also like to know if all cranks are the same from 1963 - 1969 !! Engine # P47115 , I was told it's PPU ! I have a line on one but like to confirm ! My plans for my new toy is to make softie , don't know if I want to bring the original red color back or keep it olive drab like Ron suggested ( he kind of planted the seed in my head) but I have to consult with the kids (remain to be seen) .

I have a 1965 P block with a crank (a piston shot out the side and the PO parked the Patrol). You'd have to pay the shop to extract the crank and pay for shipping. It's yours gratis if you want it.

Thanks for the offer ... I'm trying to find something closer , the crank weighs about 1 ton ( just kidding ) , its very heavy! I'm waiting for a member to get back to me about the condition of his ! I'll let you know, thanks again !!
