      Thanks! I agree, I plan to keep her as "stock" as I can manage while still getting her back in shape.

      I went to a local community college in L.A. in 72 - 74 to study automotive repair. Then I did a 3 year hitch in the Army to get some experience. Most of the work I did was on large tactical diesel and multifuel trucks. When I left the Army in...

      Got the mirrors with built in turn signals. Since my mirrors are in much better condition, I will just swap the outside “skull” caps, and add the 2-wires that feed the signal into the factory harness on mine. So it’s just making the 5-pin to...

      Fellro, thank you very much for providing me with a potential solution. IF IT WORKS, you become my new best friend. If it doesn't you still remain my new best friend because I will have eliminated other issues. I will keep you posted on my...

      If you have a carb you should have a mechanical pump. The tank switch then only controls the tank the fuel gets pulled from, not a pump in tank. It can then be the mechanical pump failed or there is a problem in the fuel lines letting air in...

      Welp! At it again for parts. Hopefully tomorrow I will have a set of side mirrors with the turn signals. Found a parts Lariat that has them. Should be just plug and play setup.

      X2 to what Fellro mentions. I’ve found the most important thing with buying a vintage vehicle is to make sure it’s turn key ready to drive. Being insured is also a big plus! You see a lot of guys buying a vintage “project” that even after many...

      That is more a what are you willing to pay, what is the local market like question. Out here in the rust belt it would likely get that price. Will you be able to turn around and sell it for the same or higher? Hard to say. Basically if you are...

      You are correct, the switch past the click is for the dome light. Seems the wiring off the light switch may be pinned incorrectly.

      Yup! As long as the new unit has the same 4-hole configuration for removal. Plug and play.
