i went to PAW to get some carb parts. They are closed now on weekends. I was a little upset about that. I position the truck right next to entry door and burned some rubber. I didn't bring a camera but here is a pick of a fender well.

I fired mine up with the key for the 1st time in 10 years feels pretty good..

sjarrett71 · 09-12-2010, 11:48 AM

Removed the 3 blade fan and installed a correct one with fan clutch I got from Teeitup. Also replaced the belts.

Painted the inside of the cab, now I can start some reassem.bly

Blackjeep99 · 09-12-2010, 08:07 PM

I did a complete front drum brake job on the ol gal. Took me longer to gather all the parts than it did to do the work had to go to 4 different parts stores in two different towns to get it all then had to deal with 18 year olds that never herd of front drum brakes. Stopin good now.

hayhauler71 · 09-12-2010, 08:35 PM

Asked my 10 year old daughter if she wanted to go for a ride and she said yes. So than i had to tell my wife to get in that we were going for a test beat in the hayhauler. Lets just say the ricers did not have a chance today.

AusTx68 · 09-12-2010, 08:53 PM

Dropped my 68' off at the body shop for touchup and final color sanding! Hopefully my last trip to the body shop..at least for the next 12 months. Always something to do!

bigguy69 · 09-12-2010, 09:50 PM

took the single 16 inch fan off (electric). installed two 12 inch fans(electric)

vectorit · 09-12-2010, 11:14 PM

Took her out for a cruise, and to get my sweet tooth jones fix at the local DQ.

ace of shades · 09-12-2010, 11:50 PM

Just got it back from having a friend put together and install a motor in trade for some work I did for him (you have to love the barter system). Didn't seem like it was running right -has a low speed miss- , so I picked up some plugs and wires. Pulling the plugs they looked brand new so I put them back in, went to change wires and found out the box only had 7 wires in it, so I cleaned up the old wires, put them back on making sure they snapped into place and took it for a drive around the block. Didn't seem to help it that much, but didn't seam to hurt it that much

jgibson · 09-13-2010, 01:14 AM

I went to the salvage yard nearby, and hunted down a kickdown for the TH475. not that I really needed it, the 454 produces plenty-o-torque, but what the heck. picked up two kickdown switches, and wiring, for $5.43!!
10 min. later, and WOW!! this is what I've been missing!! she's so much lighter on her feet.

TonyC66 · 09-13-2010, 11:56 PM

Hey guys, still fairly new here.. Here is a picture of my truck..

Today I converted my truck to 5 lug and got a nice surprise in the mail..

DjS71 · 09-14-2010, 12:38 AM

Fired up the heirloom for the first time in my possession, probably for the first time in 5 years. Tomorrow its trial-by-fire with the 3 on the tree.
