    Scroungers Project 68

    Looks like the carb issue is fixed. It seems to have worked itself out. I guess racking up a few miles and getting everything flowing and working right again is all it took.

    Sounds like a good time to grab some gearhead guys and have a work session! A little far for me to drive but there has to be a few people close.

    Scroungers Project 68

    Not much work on Cledus but a little tinkering now and then. I did manage to scrape off the WEBN Sticker.I replaced it with a smaller and more desirable decal. :DI also took the Comet to it. This is something I do a lot on these old cars/trucks. It cleans up the common dirt plus it...

    Anyone ever take their dash pad off, & leave it?

    Gotcha guys. Thanks for the input.

    Sorry to hear that. It can be rough, I know. When the time is right you will be at it again.I have a 49 Chevy that I had for sale. A friend wanted it bad. Before he could get it he ended up in a car wreck and broke his neck. While they were working on him at the hospital he had a heart attack...

    That what it's all about. Inspiration. I need a little too. I hope it lights a fire under a few and some start posting up some progress. :)

    I figured there would be a ton of holes. Still waiting on my LMC book. I already have a wish list started.

    My dash pad is shot on my 68. A guy at the auto parts store said he took his off when he redone his truck and left it off. He said he just painted the metal dash when he did the cab and left the pad off.I haven't looked under the pad yet. Just wondering if anyone else did this? If so are...

    Scroungers Project 68

    I grabbed some wipers. I also had to replace both headlights. I lost a dim early so I just run the brights. I lost both bright, one at a time within days and so I just had one dim light. I thought Bill said he replaced them but the backs where covered in 44 years of dust. I spent the extra cash...

    I had these swan neck mirrors. Why not use 'em?

    Scroungers Project 68

    When I have a few minutes to play I try to do something to the truck.These big mirrors had to go. They look like a big set of ears.The door panels were a pain. I guess they have never been off in the last 44 years. I thought I was going to bend them up trying to get loose. They had some...

    I put it back together and the truck sounded great! Better than before. I run around in it for a little while and it started loading up again. Not sure what I'm going to do now. I don't want to spend any money on a rebuilding kit right now.

    Scroungers Project 68

    I ripped the carb apart hoping I could just clean it up. It has a brass float and I thought maybe it got a pin hole in it and filled with gas. It was fine. I was playing with the float and seen the needle and seat didn't seem right. I pulled it apart and this green dried up goop was coming in...

    Anyone do any custom body mods to their trucks?

    I was looking at your picture with the writing on it. I'm almost in Cincy Ohio. I'm at the most northern part of Ky but have been down there where you live. Nice country down that way. Our TN Chapter President of the Scroungers CC lives in Watertown, TN. I think that's about 35 minutes from you...

    We will try to change that. I'll post some stuff up on my build log when I get working on my 68.If anyone else has something cool to show post it up.
