Re: "Rice Rocket'
Ok worked on the truck a lil again today
I heard it run and it sounds good! But it had a a gas leak at the pump (dad said you can take off and on a compression fitting too many times beofre it starts leaking?) So imma pick one up tomorow and hopefully that fixes the leak, then the bendix on the starter hung..so idk i got ticked and went inside, hopefully i dont have to do a cam swap in the future...) But it did sound good, i'll get a vid. of it running sommetime  I cant WAIT to drive it!!!!!!!

Re: "Rice Rocket'
got some parts again today..saw a huge snake and about cried like a little girl i was so scared...
the green 67 is plain jane im supposed to look for a heater delete on it sometime..he wants 1000$ for the truck, but thats before he died. 67lwb stepper The pic of the hardware on the orange fender, its what holds up the front shift linkage on, somethings not right im giong back sometime to look at the trucks and how it went together....PO of my truck did everything to mine.. Oh the last 2 pics, 1-My truck had the firewall loom when I got it but i pulled it off (duuhh), Well, I got one off the 67 gmc washed and armoralld it and put it on my truck, so much better! 2- I started on some brake liens, got the rear ones mostly done, (I think I did a good job!) Does anyone know if the 'bushing' for the linkage for power brakes can be found at the parts/hardware store? I Had a bolt in mine...(threades)?
