Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the first oil change of the season done, and decided to go with 15w40 due to th 396bb in it and what I've been reading up on.
PLUS I had to have my tires replaced. They were cracking between the treads pretty bad. Found out that they were made in 1999, by reading the DOT date in them. I looked all over for a sporty/performance tire and I ended up with one option. Everything else was discontinued or not available. I was able to find endless options for a regular touring tire or off-road tire in 265/70/16, but not what I wanted. These are 245/75/16. Not much difference in size, but look less like balloons on the rims since they are a tad narrower. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
As usual good ole Southeast Missouri weather pretty much ruined my plans for today, which was taking my '67 to it's first car show. I have been working on it quite a while to get it ready. Thunderstorms started last night and lasted pretty much most of the day.
When I got up this morning to go I took my ole 4-Runner out our gravel road to see if my '67 would make it, I found some washed out parts of the road and water about 2 feet deep for about an eighth of a mile. I went to my son's in the 4-Runner and talked about what we were going to do next on our old trucks. Here are a couple of trucks we were going to enter, the white one is my '67 and the blue and white one is my daughter-in-laws.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nothing too exciting, replaced a cracked (and possibly incorrect) choke pull-off. Starts instantly now. Airtex replacement Made in the USA. On a side note my rebuilt Quadrajet came off a Cadillac (apparently a lot of em did).

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
dahos, looks good. I think you better recheck the install of the inner tierods. The center link needs turned around and the tie rod end nuts face forward.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled and cleaned the auxiliary tanks. The insides weren't too bad even though they haven't been used in almost 8 years according to the PO. Seafoamed the inside to clean any trash out which was minimal and then sprayed the outside with Rustoleum Flexseal to clean them up a bit and refresh the look. Also replaced all the hoses to the fuel switch from them. Also had to replace the lock sets on the fuel doors as the PO didn't have the keys. Easy enough, just used some stainless mailbox locks from Home Depot that were keyed alike. Turned out pretty good and glad to have them functional again. I was surprised to see they were only 16-17 gallons each though. Its nice to drive around and not watch the fuel gauge go down.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thought I would add to this thread as well. I got a set of 3/4 ton springs and tossed them on. Looks a lot better. I haven't take it for a spin yet as it was a long day in the AZ heat. Passenger side was tough. Took forever to get the bolts out and even putting them back on was a PITA. I might replace the u-bolts and nuts and my air gun should have been enough to put them back on. I instead used a 1/2 ratchet and pipe to tighten it down. Oh well. I can finally put a full load in back and not worry about the bump stops. Sorry no pics but I am sure people on here know what I am talking about.
