Re: Input on truck color

I think navajo beige would be the best. Holly Green would look good too but i think a lot more trucks came in Holly green than the beige. Either one of those would be nice. I think the beige would be nice cause it would highlight the trucks styling where holly green is rather dark, compared. I dont ...

Won first place

Well I've had my truck "done" for about a year now. Finally took it to its first car show. The small town down the road has a real nice festival called "good ole days" They had a nice car show and I took first in the 4x4 class! http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee236/stepside64/...

Re: Slicks at the Autorama in Detroit

Didnt get to make it to the autorama this year. kinda wish I had gone though. The wife and I decided to stay at our nice rural home 31 miles north of the D instead. But that louvered slick is for sale for about $4800 on craigslist. I work with the owners buddy and he told me about it before it went ...

Re: Wow that was scary went from straight 50 to 20W50 uh oh

Hey loveoftiki, what year is your truck? I plan on heading down to autorama this weekend too. Where do you live at? I'm in north end of Macomb County. I would reccommend running a zinc additive in your oil. Todays oils dont have the zinc required to lubricate flat tappet engines like ours. I run Bra...

m Check this out! I was thinking about picking this truck up. I can get it for $1500. The motor runs good, and the only rust is the front fenders and cab corners. the doors and cab floor are solid. No brakes and the windshield and drivers side window is cracked. What does everyone think? I think its...

The trim from Rick at Carolina Classics is amazing. I bought my whole complete set from them back in 06 when they were $520.00. I just now put em on this year, they are beautiful. Get em now, cause material costs are only going up. I'm in a metal working field myself and I know. That why I got mine ...

You can always just get another choke cable and hook it up to be used as a throttle. Then go to o-reillys or another cheap auto parts store and get some of that thin chrome tape. Then cut and trim a piece to cover up the "choke" on the bezel. The end result is a "blank" bezel. On...

Not getting to operating temperature.

Hey guys. So I've had my 65 4x4 on the road for a little over a month now. The truck does not get up to operating temperature when the truck is moving down the road and the weather is cooler than about 60-65 degrees. It usually won't get higher than 140. That is with the electric fan off also. If it...

Bill, yes I'd like to find a console. I'm thinking the early falcon console(63?) would be best. The ones that people say came in the early early ranger pickups. I actually like the look of those the best. I've never looked that close in person at either the older falcon console or the 65 console in ...
