we can still shoot thieves in Texas!

I used to have a Gal name Ruth. She loved to ride on the back of my motorcycle. Till one day I took a low water crossing to fast and she fell off. What could I do but go on Ruth-lessly

Is her name Edith, Cause then you could have your cake and Edith too.smiliestirthepot

BTW how did the Leading go?

Option 2. and as the cable guy said "Getter Done"

Can't say but the ones in the Carpenter catolog look as close to original as any I have ever seen. We used to jackem up a little and get them close to right the scab in some plate and angle right over the old ones. But me and my brothers had no money or sense. nearly burned one old truck to...

Did you buy the mounts on page 89 of the Denis Carpenter catolog? If so from the picture follow my #2 suggestion.

Still a half day to do most Rig Welders around here have a half day minimum.

Having re thoughtI was raised up north. Farther north than I care to admit. Anyway these old trucks the gen 6s and 7s were brand new then. The way these cab mounts are built they tend to hold the road salt and mud there for rust out over time. I had a 70 model when I was in high school that...

Im gonna bet tire also. Had a similar thing happen on my used to be my 93 4x4 shake like hell when you brake but be pretty much normal ever else. I could not find a problem in the front end so I took it to the Ford house in Odessa. They drove it and came back with warped rotors. I swapped em...

I have been asked not to return to Missisippi

Your gonna want to jig it up so everything is square and in its proper place and at the correct elevation in relation to each other. Dont want it to be crabbed or listing. Yes 4 hours give or take. not counting removal of the cab of course.The jig need not be an elaborate thing. If it were...

roughly 35 hrs

read hide away

1/2 a day. it will take longer to build the jig than to replace the mounts.

No pics today Tropical storm Hermine kept me in the house. 9" and counting. Bout over now though.

Me too. But if you split the vinyl on the seat back and pad it it make a handy place for a hide away 12 Ga.

Tecnologicaly challenged. best I can do is a digital photo. these are 3' wide sheets won't fit my scanner.

I had similar issue with mine, backfire and what not. Turns out the advance plate in the distributor was shot. Bought a reman from Parts Plus. Runs as smooth as any electronic unit around. Oh 60.00 bucks and change.

I posted that I had bought a set of wireing diagrams for my 74 a while back. They came on Saturday. For 15 bucks and some change I recieved 8 blueprint size drawing of the electrical system for this specific truck. The drawings have every option that was availible for that year. Camper...

Thanks folks I will get on this soon. I was looking at a gemplers catolog and they sell some stuff called rust converter. Gonna buy a quart and see how it works. I will do all of the above prior to though. the bleach may be a concern, toxic fumes maybe from mixing with the other chemicals.

When I pulled my headliner down I removed a pretty big rat/mouse nest from the area near the dome light. I had what apeared to be surface rust on the show side of the cab interior steel in that area. But after pulling the nest out I got to poking with a screw driver and now have a hole about...

What is the purpose of the bull dog stuff. My headliner is a hardboard type stuff. Does it allow you to use less paint / fewer coats?

My mule likes teets

done right.Looks real nice, better than new actualy. If as much thought went into the internal stuff as went into the external then that is one stout truck as well.YelloThumbUp

:rofl2: I stepped back in case the guy was going to faint.Fainting would not be my worry if I were behind him. Im just sayin...smilienothingFunnyto

Thanks again short bed.The below pic is of the two wires that I spoke of that exit the fire wall. The black wire is now energized with the cab light circuit. The red is hot constantly no matter key switch or h/l switch position, any guesses? , my thought is factory supplied tap for a...

Got it, Thanks Mil1ion!well I got it. Turns out the reason it wasn't right is some one crossed it up. The first two pics are how I found it. The third one is after I made the correction. the fourth is the lights burnin. The fifth is a relay mounted up under the dash that clicks when you pull...

Understood I thank you for your help and with what I just saw on your last drawing I got this dog on the porch. kudos to ya. I try to take care of stuff on my own, kinda a texas thing. In the future I will have the drawing to help too. That is if i read it right.
