Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
got the old cast iron intake off it, dang I forgot how heavy those are... got most the way threw cleaning up the heads hopefully have it cleaned up in the morning so when she gets home from work she can help me throw on that freebie intake and carb. the oil line adapter I found wasn't the right one so I'm still looking.

Oh ya, the shape of the hatchback would allow gallons of water to collect! It never leaked but I could see it being a huge problem in the future. |

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
if im not mistaken that wire is the temperature gauge wire, which connects to the side of the engine (usually the drivers side) to the temperature thermostat

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
I figured out the wire it ran over to some kinda whoodamajigger that was attached to the stock 2 barrel. good luck on the pic I snuck a couple for momma and she was not amused with me :-)

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
forgot to mention it is alive once again definitely running better now that the 40 year old carb is off it. probably would have been simpler to just clean it but can't pass up freebie intake and carb!

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
thanks, it's getting there right now were waiting on title (long story) and driver's side window regulator and then we will be able to finally take her for a spin.

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
test drive went pretty good been awhile since I drove anything without power steering. truck runs really well now and there is absolutely no noise coming from that old motor but once you get into the mid rpm's she start's to smoke like crazy. need to keep it moving some more and hopefully it will clean up.
![]() yes I know world's smallest burnout but it was enough to scare the crap out of my girls ![]()

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
And now for the ugly... probably one of the rustiest cabs I've ran across around here I'm sure it's because the drilled a big hole in the roof for a cb antenna and didn't plug up any of the holes from the multiple different mirrors this poor truck has had. passenger side is the same except it also has some holes in the bottom of the door core and skin.

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
before we picked it up somebody hit the back of it with some farm equipment I didn't share earlier because I wanted to do the before/after thing but so far life's been getting in the way and we didn't get it finished yet. spent 1/2 day pulling on it but it's not coming out we are going to patch it instead.

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
we got it to the point we could install tail lights again and probably going to stay that way until after winter she won't have her license til the spring anyhow. the turn signals work but I the brake lights and tail lights don't work. soon as I get a chance I need to figure out what's going on with them any ideas? haven't looked into it yet at all.

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
probably be better to keep this one to myself but I can't :-) the cab isn't very good and I already had everything but a piece of trim so I went ahead and made some room for the tunes

Re: My Daughter's 72 just made it home
The purists are going to give you a hard time about that but in your defense it looks like you did a good job reshaping the hole, it isn't a hack job like we see most of the time.
