    Pull and Pay gold

    Went to the Pull and Pay Wednesday and Thursday, scored a "new" split bench for my 78, came out of a 79. Also got the bench that goes in the extended cab. Now my question is, I want to put the seat belt retractors in my truck but didn't have the mounting bolts/plate. Any suggestions on how to...

    Filler hose

    What could cause a filler hose not even a year old to tear out in the side? Either that or someone cut it and siphoned gas out of my Aux tank. Don't really know how much was in there, as the sending unit reads empty all the time. Any ideas? Also has anyone fabbed some metal kind of metal...

    Dents on TV

    Hey guys, watching a new program on the Discovery channel. American Treasures where two archaeologists drive around in a 78 or 79 F150 2wd Supercab looking to see if the family tale about an object is true or not. Looks to be an XLT version or something like that. Anyway, it's in really good...

    rear defrost

    Hi guys,I'm wondering about some ways to improve the defrost for my truck. The side glass, and the rear window get really foggy/icy, and my heater while good, can't keep up. I don't have the ac vents on my truck to try to point at the side glass, and I'm trying to think of someway to improve...

    Finally

    Was hoping for this day to come when my truck is running really well, and we finally have enough snow to try out the 4 wheel drive. Does better than I ever hoped possible. Makes me proud. Think I'm starting to tear up a little bit lol.

    Truck problems

    Hey guys,Drove my truck to work yesterday, did fine on the way there, and all day on Thursday it did fine. Well last night on way home from work, 4 times or so, while I was driving, it would be going along and all of a sudden, it'd sputter and die. I'd pull over, crank it, and it'd start...

    Carburetor questions

    Ok, so I went out today and took my carburetor off, which leads me to my questions. I broke a couple of pieces which you'll see in the pictures oulined in red. Are these pieces readily available? Also, how much of these parts are washable. Not with the solvent, but with dishwashing detergent...

    Carburetor

    Hey guys,Gonna be rebuilding my carb. Here are the numbers off of the tag: D7TE CUA D8E22. How do I know if I have an electric choke, or a climactic choke? The truck has always been in Denver, so I assume it has the high altitude equipment. There's also a leak on the carb, I've included a...

    Denver Colorado

    I'm wondering how many other users there are in the Denver metro area? I think it'd be cool to arrange some kind of cruise in. Someplace we can compare trucks, trade tips and tricks, and bring along spare parts that someone else may be looking for, so a swap meet too. Food and beer are always...

    Headlight switch

    Have a silly question guys. I took out the switch shaft, and now I'm trying to put it back in, but it won't catch inside, and just keeps pulling back out every time. Is there something else I need to do to get it to stay in there? Thanks.
