Re: Wife gets to drive her truck!
There just has to be a story why your wife is drawn to these old trucks too right?

Re: Wife gets to drive her truck!
Wow, a 10/11 month build? Truck looks great!!! Good job!
My 67 stepside was originally white... makes me kind of miss when it was white.

Re: Wife gets to drive her truck!
I was looking into doing the same for my wife.
 She'll drive my truck, or the C-30 I'll be getting in the future to work the farm.You did a great job with her truck, but I think she'll already told you that. What's amazing is time time you did the resto in.

Re: Wife gets to drive her truck!
Thanks guys, I think I got my first full night sleep last night since I started the project. I'm not a very patient man.
Truck is driving ok but the 700r4 is shifting into overdrive really quick after hitting drive.... not sure what is going on there. I'm not a trany guy. Also speedo head is working but the speedo gear in the tail shaft has to big of a square hole for the cable and I can just spin the gear with small screwdriver which makes me believe it might be stripped. Does that sound right to you guys. Anyone know any pointers on the overdrive dill? |

Re: Wife gets to drive her truck!
You can get a line pressure gauge to check the pressure, if i remember right it only 2 or 3 psi higher hooked up at idle in park I used bowtie overdrives for my info and linkage.
