Was helping my Aunt clean out her garage when my wife said "hey this looks like it came off your truck" Sure enough it was the piece of missing trim from the drivers side quarter panel on my 67!

That's the good news...the bad news is I came home with a lot of junk from that garage :lol: Albeit really old, really cool junk. Such as a 3' Prestone Antifreeze wall thermometer, Craftsman tool box, vintage tools, antique wooden ice box refrigerator, fishing rods and some chairs my great grandfather restored including a high chair my great-great-great grandfather sat in as a baby!

I can't answer for him but my 67 with a 327 4 barrel carb, turbo 400, and Eaton 457 gears running down the road get about 6 mpg...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Why is everyone getting such crappy mpg's? Is it the carb settings? I just have a 2 brl. Rochester on my 350, but I'm getting at least 15.......

Could be rear end: I have a 3 speed on column, 4:11. 250 I6 with Rochester Monojet. It's also anything but "flat" on these roads.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Just seems so weird on the mileage, I get at least 10mpg and 8 on a bad throttle day with hills like Sanfransisco here and have a min of 480hp 454 with big 38.5" tires (heavy) in a 4x4 so still don't get it. Plus I don't putter around but drive it. Tune up is spot on always though.:metal:

Patina'd_402 09-20-2013 06:12 PM

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Installed a B&M Megashifter.
The cab still needs the Stick shift hole sealed, Dynamat, Padding, and carpet.

I run a sm465 also in my gas pig, the Megashifter looks killer, sits up just nice, not to low or high, good choice, does take up a bit of the the box part though doesn't it, how does it work for you.

I tried to pick up my rebuilt carb but the guy was out.

Well, after staring at cut up dash, where the original radio went, i decided to replace the dash. Randy (Teeitup) sold me a nice one and my guys at the shop installed it and matched the anniversary gold paint. Caroline is closer to perfection because of it. what do you guys think???

SCHRUMGMC 09-22-2013 03:01 PM

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Did they replace the whole Dash itself??, thats what I am going to do with my truck by putting in A/C, how much did it cost ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Super clean looking Mo, nice tach too.

mud.man.rj 09-22-2013 04:05 PM

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Here are a few things I accomplished lately, new HID housings and headlights, plus a new Dana 60 front cover for my Currie diff. Can preload the caps with it too.

Added full synthetic gear oil now too for the cold winter -30C and colder days that are coming.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Thanks guys. Yeah, the boys charged me 600 for all the work and I think it was a good deal. Windshield has to come out welded and bolted on, after getting prepped, primed and painted. It allowed me to get the old am/fm radio on there.
As far as the tach is concerned, the truck came factory with a speed minder and I added the tach to it. I need to ad a vacuum/80lb gauge and should be complete then.
