Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Noooooooooooo! Don't sacrifice the hood. (But it's your hood and you can do what you want). Lots of people need a decent hood. Is it possible to repair the hood?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Woke up, searched craigslist for a bed, and found one! $175, on a trailer, and two hours away. Cant beat that. Its got multiple layers of paint, but is very straight, with some minor rust here and there inside the bed. Score!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Found out today that its time to put Two Tones old heart to rest. Went for a drive yesterday and on the way home experienced a "Drop" in cylinders for lack of better words. Oil is fine...spark plugs are firing...carb seems fine(still wondering though) and have yet to do a compression test. Last I tested they were at around 100 pounds each....some 50+ pounds under what they should be. Drove the truck to church...let it sit for about 4 hours...leave the parking lot and I'm struggling to keep the thing even running.....so since home is only 3 miles away I put my foot to the floor(literally) and zoom home. Seems like the rings just gave out or something cause it has like no power and when I down shift to stop its almost as bad as coasting. lol Ah well! That ol engine has been through ALOT and is just needing a long winter's nap. Good excuse to throw the new one in sooner.
![]() EDIT! Fixed it!!! At least seem to have. lol Carb issues as I suspected. Pulled the carb off....dumped out the gas and filled the carb with carb cleaner...shook it like a mad man....dump the carb cleaner and redid the procedure three times....throw it back on....fire it up and with a sputter clunky sput she suddenly clears up...Re-tune it again and now she's running smoother than ever. Might a been some carbon in the valves...not sure...as old and worn as that ol 6 banger is anything can happen....yet she still rev to 5K. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Here are the two I have, what is on the 64 now and what is on the 86 axle I am rebuilding for disc brakes. 64 is a Warn, not sure what brand is on the 86.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Today I went to the salvage yard in Longmont and met up with fellow member Lee 64. He helped me and the owner of the lot, Dave, cut the 12 bolt rear end free that I purchased last week. It turned out not to be a Posi rear end after all, but the stamp on the outside indicates that it is the correct gear ratio. Lee 64 also helped me pull a driver side door for my '62, and then we found and pulled an underseat jack kit for another member on this forum, _mg. Dave really understands the importance of keeping these parts out of the crusher and opened up more once he knew I was legitimately interested in using the parts to preserve their history.
After we left the salvage yard, I went over to Lee 64's house to see his project. He has a sweet 64 short step with a 383 stroker that is well on its way to completion. It was good to meet another guy who appreciates these trucks. He showed me a really trick fuel filler door and a secret security HEI shutoff setup to deter theft. He also left me with a parting gift: he had the glass lens that I needed to complete my reverse light parts search. A great day!
