I got the 66 fired up today. Was nice to hear is rumble through the open headers. :metal: Now I just have to get the tranny all buttoned up. I did take a short video of it but have to upload it. Now I just have to figure out how.. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

worked on a tune up of the 63... the distributor has had ductape on it since I got it... it ran ok and I had other things going...I looked into it today, and the tape was holding the cap on:lol:one screw missing, and on the other side a wood screw-haha, you gotta love farm trucks!
so the rotor was tearing the sh*t out of the cap since itwas just loose on there!
new cap rotor, and wires made it run tons better, tomorrow I chase that pesky acellerator pump, and time it, and it might run like new!

thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Replaced the ignition switch and the starter solenoid trying to sort out my starting problems only to discover the wire plug next to the heater box was unplugged the whole time! :banghead:
I thought about taking both parts back but I didn't feel like uninstalling them plus they were cheap and they'll probably last another 43 years anyway.

62, that grill looks good still. sweet rig too!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

On the 66 I have, whenever I turned the key on the gas gauge would shoot up to the F mark real fast. I thought maybe just a short somewhere. Well I decieded to stick a hose in the tank to see how much gas was in the truck and after I pulled the hose out about 6" there was fuel on it. Then I shined my flashlight down the fill tube and I could see the gas. OH bonus... A full tank of gas. Gas gauge problem solved.... :lol: I just uploaded this to youtube. It is the first engine running of the truck since I have had it.

Spent some time getting the frame stripped clean of years of grime and oil leaks. Used engine brite, super clean, wire brush, putty knife and finished it with a wire brush wheel on my 4 1/2" grinder. I'm going to wipe it down with acetone and prime and paint it today.

Thanks to Bob at Accessoryland, a pair of new old stock inside spotlight brackets (8205 & 8206RH) arrived today. In addition to the mint condition brackets, even the 1960 era slot head mounting screws were included. After decades in wax paper bags, the brackets are now permanent features in my cab.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Man, I remember doing that with mine. It was hot as hell outside but that was one job that makes you feel good once you're done. What are you painting it with?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Well it was sad what I did to my truck today. I pulled all of my SD front crossmember and my disc brake set up off, so I could sell it. Packed up the air ride kit too. It's all going to a good home though.
