Re: Lime Wife's 67
there was alot of moisture in the engine, so i took the intake off to check for leaks most seem to think that its the pvc valve to blame when alot of moisture in the valve covers so i changed to a better one than that crap chrome one.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
That red seat is the same pattern as my '93 Sport Truck (buckets in it) - I have a '88 parts truck with same pattern in blue (a 60-40). Seats from late '80s thru at least '90s fit in '50s - '60s full size trucks perfect. Have one in my '56 recovered in vinyl and putting one in my project '67 in place of a buddy seat. They are thinner and more comfortable than the earlier seats. Should be plenty of them in salvage yards. I'm going to part out the '88 as I mostly wanted the bed & 700R for my '67 CST. Those trucks had straight bench, 60-40, buckets & bench w/center arm rests.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
I'll be praying for continued strength and comfort, for you and your wife, and for a job you can enjoy!
I changed jobs approx. 3 years ago, had worked at previous job for 14 years. I wouldn't have made it much longer at old job. It sucked from top to bottom, all negatives had to do with the people there. Don't have ANY of the BS at new job. God did a great job of protecting me at the old job, and delivering me from it!!! Quadrajets, for me, also! |

Re: Lime Wife's 67
Was thinking it would be neat to have the new model winch style spare holder under the truck. So i started fabricating a cross member and got a winch out of the junkyard. Thinking of running it out through the licence plate area.I would use a fold down plate holder like you use on the cars with the gas tank behind to licence plate. Gonna do some test fitting to get the spare where it want it.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
Great ! Hopefully my plan will work. Will be so much better than the factory style that was missing anyways. I always carry a spare so want to get it out of the bed.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
Most would probably say i'm crazy but i patched up the cross member that was bent into a v shape. Cut the bent sections out and hammered the bottom flat as i could get it. Cut some new metal and patched paneled it.

Re: Lime Wife's 67
Ok been awhile, job with overtime and kids have kept me busy. I have been painting suspension parts etc. And decided to go ahead and clear the frame so I can get it painted. I'm gonna take it one step at a time and do it right. Not going for a show winner but a very nice , reliable weekend cruiser.
