Thanks guys!

She loves old cars and wants an old truck, like a 40s / 50s that has fenders and running boards. But her mom said No!

She is always driving my brothers old Model A cars and trucks when we are at his place in East Texas. She loved that V8 and for the record she is driving it!

She has grown up with them all her life. Well, so did I for that manner. My Dad had a 1930 Ford Coup, but the bug bit my brother real bad. It is what he does for a living working on these old Fords.

While these are Fords (sorry), we have great times in them. Personally, I don't care about the make, a great car is, well a great car!

Thanks everyone, probably take some time putting back together, going to take my time. My friend asked if I wanted to borrow a screwdriver to put the first scratch in it before it leaves his place. Pictures are at his place just north of Reno, he has 63 acres.

Looks like the ol Omaha orange isn’t as original or unique as I thought it would be.

Thanks. Is yours the same color? It’s hard to tell from your pic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 
It is 516 Tangier orange, although it was painted 15-20 years ago and has darkened quite a bit. The paint is significantly lighter underneath the trim

Finally got that leak today!!!! Been chasing a header leak for the past 4 months. Went through 6 sets of gaskets all types aluminum, paper, dbld up, copper, and I kept having the same issue of exhaust coming out the top of the head ports of all ports. My heads are oval and headers are oval...so I thought...? Finally went with some round Cometic graphite metal and they solved the problem ����. I was at a loss of what to do beside buy new headers. Recommend these now to anyone! Also copper leaked like a siv. ��*♂️

I ordered some single E trac clips and straps to mount on the Ramp truck for tying down small stuff like bikes & golf carts. I used 3/8" grade 8 bolts threaded into the top of the bed.:chevy:

I assume you have a tilt column and thus able to find the 4-speed shift indicator. I cannot seem to find the same for non-tilt.

No, it’s a non-tilt. It just doesn’t fit securely.

First time it falls out I’m going to give some thought to how to get it in nice and tight, but I’ve been driving her quite a bit and it’s still in position.

It’s not there for me, it’s in there for my wife and whoever else might use it.
