Re: 69 shop truck
Thanks guys
My order came in from Rock Auto today. Ordered an ACC rubber mat and a carb rebuild kit. Glad I ordered the right mat. THis one goes all the way back to the tank and way up into the dash. It looks like I will have plenty of trimming to do but appears to be nice quality. I forgot to order my 5 gallon bucket of patience for the carb kit though ![]() .

Re: 69 shop truck
Never did learn how to post video here but I got the carb rebuilt, reinstalled and the truck is running pretty good now. Idles on its own and is pretty responsive on the throttle. I may end up converting to cable and get rid of the rod. It feels like it has a sticky spot. Also had a local guy respond to my FB ad looking for a bed and drivers door. He lives about 3 miles from me as the crow flies but have to drive 20-25 miles to get to him because of the river. He said he had a 72 with a bad rear end and did not know if I would be interested in it for parts. It won't be a parts truck but it did come home with me.

Re: 69 shop truck
Nice Find.
The way I would post a video is, I put it on my U tube channel. Then load it here on the site.

Re: 69 shop truck
The rear end was completely out of it and has been sitting on jackstands in his driveway for several years. sp long in fact that the stands had sunk into the blacktop (his wife was real happy about that but not as happy as seeing me load it up
![]() Still had brand new drums, Shoes and seals sitting on the front seat. Now back to our regularly scheduled red and white programming ![]() .

Re: 69 shop truck
Got the jute pad, rubber mat, seatbelts, gas tank and seat back in today. I forgot to redrill and tap the rear cab supports to the correct bolt size until after I had the gas tank in. I will do it in a vise if ever needed again. I ended up on my back under the truck drilling and tapping....not fun, but done. New rubber on the gas tank too. This new seat had the lowering brackets on it and I was going to use them to give me a little more room but the seat hits the gas tank before going back far enough to bolt it down. I guess they only work if you relocate the tank. I just put factory brackets back on instead. Still have to go thru my huge pile of gaskets and see if I have any door gaskets for a pickup. need to put them on and the new stainless sill plates I acquired then I am going to call the interior done.
I am going to have to come up with a bracket to hold a manual choke cable or figure out what was supposed to be on the choke shaft on the carb for the rod that goes down to the coil spring on the intake. I need to search for a clear picture of an original setup. .

Re: 69 shop truck
Man this thing was giving me a fit. I thought I had all the bugs worked out on the engine side of things. Had it running great off the gas can. Got the choke all hooked up and decided to take it out for a spin down the lane. Fired it up pulled about 75 feet out into the parking lot and it just died. Would crank over but nothing else. got pissed, threw a few things, made up a few new colorful words, grabbed the bobcat, pushed it back in the shop and quit for the day. 98* and swamp ass humidity was no time to be messing around with it. We had a front come thru last night and dropped the temps considerably so I figured I should take a look while it was cooler. I knew it ran decent off the can and I had only fired it up briefly since hooking it back up to the tank behind the seat. I installed a new pickup tube in the tank while I had it out bc the old one was missing the sock. I was able to slide the seat far enough forward and using my stubby wrenches I unhooked the tank line and hosed it back into the gas can. No change in issue. Hmmm, ok It has all new rubber hoses as well as new AC Delco fuel pump, I guess that went bad. I look down and noticed the rubber hose from frame to pump looked like it was a little kinked so I got out my patented kink fixer and whadaya know it is back running just fine. Hooked the line back to the tank to make sure no further issue and all seems good to go. Trying to decide if I am gonna leave the kink fixer or figure out the proper fix
![]() Been unable to find a better bed locally and decided against the utility so gonna patch the floor in this one and slide the plastic bed liner in it that I got a week or so ago. It is never gonna be perfect anyway I just want it a bit more solid. Got all new bolts coming from McMaster and have some better inner tubs here so maybe get this thing wrapped up in the next week and get tags & insurance on it.

Re: 69 shop truck
