Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Adjusted carb, traced dual tank lines from tanks thought filters and switches to mechanical pump housing to carb. I found the return hose at mechanical pump had no clamps on it which allowed fuel to leak when I moved it a little. Hopefully this solves my problem of using 1/2 a tank to go 50 miles. If not, I'll be back at it next weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I finally got all of my original gauges working in my 72 swb stepside! The a meter wasn't working, but I fixed it with a volt gauge conversion from tbone a while back. The temp gauge was the last one giving me fits. Turns out the temp sender was the wrong one. Never moved off cold. Installed sender and works like a charm. It wasn't cheap, but what cha gonna do?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got one of the angle strips cut off the bedside today. What a PITA that was. Spot welded on every 2-3 inches. Sawzall wasn't doing the job, so broke out the grinder and ground out the welds. Then bolted down a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" marine grade plywood for a temporary bed. Now my bed won't bounce around as a drive down the road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today was terrible. Mom got really sick and I nearly called in the ambulance. Suffice to say, I didn't get much done. I did however, after she was better, get the last of the hood hinge boots rust treated (NAPA) and the new 50 gallon electrolysis tank finished. I hope to try it out in 2 days, once the weather clears.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally got rid of my rubber fuel line, replaced it with stainless steel and added a regulator and inline gauge. Also finally replaced the parking brake cables and spider gears.

Cab Doors
Is there a difference between '67 ~ '72 doors ? .
I see lots of un rusted ones with HUGE speaker holes poorly cut and 75 holes for various mirrors in the Junk Yard all the time ....

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yesterday I pulled the front brakes down to the knuckles. I'll pick up one rotor, a pair of loaded calipers, and seals later today, clean and inspect bearings, pack, and put back together. I wish I could pull the front springs and replace with 4" lift, but need the truck for a job this week. I expect to do the springs and shocks this month

The Painter
He kept giving me excuses , lies and changing stories about where the heck were my SEVEN original hub caps but there they were :
Plus # 7 he was struggling to mask off for painting : Attachment 1410811 How the heck do you guys do these anyway ? . My original painted 1969 Cag Cap was there Friday , gone yesterday and he just looked away when I asked him where the f#^! it was after he'd sworn he'd paint it for me .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
VWNate: your truck looks great! Glad you found your original hubcaps....are you going to have the blue and black colors added?
I found out my new electrolysis tank still has a leak but I have sprayed on some more rubberized coating. I also turned the grill bolts and lag screws on the wire wheel and have those "curing" with NAPA Rust Treatment. Last edited by In The Ten Ring; 06-03-2015 at 06:00 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
A sign painter, someone who can hand letter, is a good place to go for detail painting
