Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took the roll pin out of the shift lever. It should be a press fit, but it's a slip fit now, and slides down over time and use. Going up to the hardware store to buy a new one. If that doesn't work I'll just put in a bolt with a smooth shank.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Agreed, the engine looks great, I couldn't help but notice the 'Princess Auto' box there then realized you're in Canada too.
![]() I don't think I've seen a 12 point bolt on the crank before.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally got the floor finished and added new wheel wells. Next step when I recover is prep for paint. This is my daily driver so I did the bed while on the truck

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
the engine does look great,good ole Princess Auto,i think you can find some of the P/A stuff in just about every car guy's place in this country?don't know where we'd be without them.i bought a box full of those 12 point aircraft bolts at a local war surplus store.i don't use them in anything that requires the correct bolts but they sure are slick on the hot rods and stuff.it would be scary to know what the gov't paid for them originally when you can buy them for a couple bucks a handful at the war surplus store.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Todays fun . Fixed the brackets and put it back together . Waiting on the new alternator this one the bearing is going and I don’t have the time to rebuild it and it’s a 37 amp model to boot. Never seen this before a red piece of plastic in the oil dipstick . Thought it was orange paint and I boggered it up a little with the wire wheel .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Screen shot from a video of it running shame we can’t upload directly from a phone or computer on this forum . The plastic filter is temporary have a metal one coming. The upper bracket I clamped onto a heavy piece of metal to help avoid any warpage it worked

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Installed the fuel tank in this frame-off. It was the "hardest" thing I had left to do.
For tips perhaps, I installed Classic Heartbeats grommet. Slid it on the filler neck with dish soap. Installed the tank loosely, with my son's help. Tried dish soap to get the grommet through, failed, probably not the soap. My son kept a blow drier on it while I started it from the inside, finished from the outside, not bad at all. All with a ball-end tool, I swear by them for installing grommets. NOS fuel cap or was until today. 71 is a rare cap, but I found one on the cheap long ago.

I'm trying to understand this statement. I don't know of any other way to post pictures except directly from my phone.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Ned that quarter sawn looks beautiful.
Found why temp gage wasn’t working on the 68 stepper as I retapped the harness . Wasn’t the sender wire was brittle and had green corrosion where it exited the harness . New wire and spliced where it was still good in the harness used solder and heat shrink . I retapped the entire harness mainly looking for other bad wires found none . Took out the leaky heater core and found a huge mouse/chipmunk nest

Finished up the install of the S10 washer bottle and pump. Don’t think the squirters ever worked that good.
