Re: 1969 long bed "Pappy"
Pappy is going to be a movie star! Bass Pro Shops is going to use him for a video shoot for Tracker Boats 40th anniversary. Maybe a commercial? Not quite sure but they looked a bunch of trucks and Pappy was the only one with original height and wheels/tire combo. We might have to drive out of town, so I've been trying to get ready. Up to now the furthest he had driven in the last 40 years is around the block.
I replaced the thermostat and gasket (leaking). Transmission filter and pan gasket (leaking). That slowed down the major leaks. Today I did the Pertronix Ignitor point conversion with a new cap, rotor, condensor. I took him for about a 15 mile highway jog. He starts easier and runs smoother.
