It's really cool that these trucks are 50 years old and still being used for work. Nowadays vehicles will be lucky if they last 15-20 years

Re: 1964 GMC 1500 "crustine" semi- build.

Well today after work I came home and changed crustine's oil. 15w-40 rotella and a fresh napa filter. Gonna head over there and get some zinc stuff for her. Also pulled the gauge cluster and lubed the speedo cable...works much better now! Having issues with my gauge lights that come on when you turn the head light switch on and turn it so far....One of them is not coming on. Could be the bulb, but I'm sure it was working fine. lol Basically One side was working and now the other side isn't. Those bulbs are probably as old as the ol gal is so it's time for some new ones anyhow. Also, I picked up a new front brake hose as I am in danger of no brakes if I don't replace the old front one soon. haha! Yes I was hauling that load of lumber with a brake hose about ready to blow! I'm nuts. Crustine also needs a new brake booster and master cylinder. They work, but the brakes are touchy and the RPM's of the motor pick up almost 400 rpm when I hit the breaks hard. And last but not least Crustine needs a new steering box and tie rods. Her steering was perfect for the longest time, but after a faulty tire wobbled really bad around a turn the steering has been bad since. So I have a huge list of things to cover, but they will happen a little at a time as the 66 takes priority! And LAST thing!!!!!!

I scored some 16 inch rims!!!!

And so a new set of 32 inch 10 ply tires will be on Crustine real soon. Found a good looking set through ATD. Here's a link to what they look like. Later guys!

Thanks guyz! I accidentally backed Crustine into a small ditch and she pulled right out with ease! haha With the old tires I would have had to grab the tractor! Plus I got a little bump in speed.

Re: 1964 GMC 1500 "crustine" semi- build.

Those old clocks are actually mechanical with an electric winder. Inside is a set of contact points that get dirty or corrode and may need a little filing . When the points close it creates a electromagnet that pulls the winder and opens the points the clack runs mechanically till the points touch and rewind again. Pretty basic ,I am no clock repair man but have fixed a few of those over the years. They usually have an adjuster to speed up or slow down as needed.
