Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
White stuff ? Not sure what you’re referencing.
Edit:Are you talking about the valve picture ? If so I think the specks are just reflection of the flash on the oil deposits

I haven't been able to get Gas with TEL in over 24 years. If that engine has been run in the last Quarter Century, it's probably not lead deposits.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
It's been a while since I posted anything on the board. Have more been reading/searching.
Last friday I put in a new water pump , new thermostat, new fan clutch with 7 blade fan and finally a shroud. Never had the shroud on because the 5 blade that was on it was a 19" fan. To big for the shroud. Had some overheating problems on the hot summer days, so decided to change a few parts. Luckily the radiator was still okay. Anyway, now it stays cool again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Found the rattle in the back of my 72 . Not sure how this got in there other than the stake pocket maybe for some type of hold down for the slide in camper that truck had been in the bed since new but it’s a 3/8 inch toggle wing nut . I pulled it halfway out by hand but needed a pliers to force it out fully . I was spraying some Fluid Film around there and spotted it .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
No nut on it . Truck originally came with an under bed tire carrier as per the spid but it looks like they removed it to put the bumper on it . It’s a slide bumper with a lot of bracing . Leaning more towards a tie down for the slide in camper
