Well it wasn't the sending unit or the wire. I put in a new sending unit and there was no change. I ended up putting a manual gauge in it. She runs about a steady 190...

I then had some troubles keeping her running. Started starving for fuel... After chasing the problem (blew out fuel lines, added fuel filters, replaced the fuel pump)for awhile I found that the floats in the carb were getting stuck shut. They were hitting the sides of the carb. She's back in action...

I was out 'monkey-ing' with the truck yesterday when the "big brown truck" pulled up... Delivered me some mo' parts. Anti rattle window felts and a turn signal switch. I got everything installed right away. Success...

No more window rattles...

Signals work great....

jchav62 · 04-25-2012, 10:33 AM

Me and my buddy Dan (DAN66) ditched work yesterday to work on my '67. It was a beautiful day! We installed the rear drop springs.

I also swapped out the caps with some bowtie moons that I had in the garage... and added beauty rings.

Thanks for the help DAN!! You are the MAN!

jchav62 · 04-25-2012, 10:38 AM

Oh yeah... Danny also hooked me up with a pair of shocks for the rear... Grac!!

DAN66 · 04-25-2012, 10:44 AM

It was a good day! Looks killer!That plan was in the making months ago! Glad we finally got it done!

frmula505 · 04-25-2012, 10:46 AM

Looking better every day.

jchav62 · 04-25-2012, 10:49 AM

I'm glad all the nuts and bolts cooperated... That made the project pretty easy. And the beers afterwards were GREAT!

65panelrat · 04-25-2012, 10:57 AM

jchav62 · 04-30-2012, 10:17 AM

Cleaned up, sanded and primed the new grille... used a little steel wool (000) on the stainless trim... shined up pretty nice.

DAN66 · 04-30-2012, 10:21 AM

Thanks! I hope your '67 project is going good...

longbed67 · 05-03-2012, 01:19 PM

Nice work so far! Keep it up!

jchav62 · 05-07-2012, 11:09 AM

Well I had a little issue with the truck this past week. While driving I started to smell this funky stink. At first I thought the transmission sprung a leak and it was gear oil hitting the exhaust. It wasn't the case... the voltage regulator got stuck and the battery overcharged and cooked. I was smelling the acid boiling! Got home and one side of the battery blew out a short time later. Luckily, they warrantied the battery. I replaced the regulator and when I fired it up, my voltage meter was still reading like 16-17 volts. I dug a little deeper and noticed that a couple of wires coming from the regulator got hot and melted together. After repairing those, all was good. She's back in action...

Morale of the story: If you smell sh!t, check your battery...

jchav62 · 05-15-2012, 10:37 AM

Scored these from fellow member 'heehawracing'. Got them in the mail yesterday. Did the usual 'clean/sand/prime' routine. They are ready to bolt on. Did some parts-trading with my bro-in-law Mario and got a back bumper. I still have to go pick it up from his place... that'll be next.

Here are the brackets with rock shields...

**67cheby** · 05-15-2012, 10:49 AM

looking good

doobiebro · 05-15-2012, 10:44 PM

Total transformation on the truck....Looking good Carnal...

frmula505 · 05-16-2012, 09:33 AM

Wow you are working fast on this one. I'll have to check it out.

65panelrat · 05-16-2012, 09:44 AM

Nice, I've owned my 72' 22 yrs. and have always wanted those gravel guards.

Come on over jose! It's going at a decent rate. It's been parked for the last week... I need to replace the clutch, but I haven't built up the ganas to do the job yet... Say, I just got an email... Rumbler's is on June 2nd this year.. Same place as last year... Maybe we can plan a cruise if you are up for going this year! Let me know...

frmula505 · 05-16-2012, 11:39 AM

Sure we can get together. I'm gonna try and stay a little sober this year LOL. Might take the Oldsmobile this year, but I still have a fuel problem to take care of. If not the truck again.

CRAP just checked my calender and the Espanola Valley Corvette's show and shine show is on the same day. I already committed to help set-up and run that show. Have to show off the new candy paint job on the convertible. There are some pictures on this thread.
