    Just to add… you do want to back the brake shoes off before you start the pulling. Another good idea is if your using that puller is to take that dog bone strike off when you let it sit. I had it come off pretty good once too but for the most part it should break loose on one of your hits. Good luck!

I certainly plan on being there next year AND with my RUNNING truck if the gods align the planets… and the usual big ol 15 pound brisket!! Toss a couple down for me. Be safe n have fun Pilothouse r’s !! Tim n Steph- you da best!!

    My plans were to be there this year Tim but unfortunately my Mom passed away this last week and things are kinda crazy right now. We have services this weekend but I really don’t know what is going to be happening the next couple weeks. I REALLY need a break like this right now but gotta take care of business first so we’ll see what happens. If anything. Save me a dash plaque buddy, I’ll be there in spirit! Kev

    Once you get that serial number off the door jamb tag or the frame up on the drivers side by the front wheel…probably need a wire brush for that …. Run the number here. It should tell ya the build info on that truck. Good luck!! https://www.t137.com/registry/help/decode.php

    Do you use Facebook? Go to the Dodge Pilothouse Era Truck club page and ask that question. Eric Bannerman will ask you for numbers with a picture and he can tell you everything about your engine from where it was made and if it was from a car or whatever. He’s real good. I’d post his pic but I have issues with sizing the photos. I’m sure someone here could also do it too. You can run the truck here but it’s just truck info. https://www.t137.com/registry/help/decode.php Good luck

    Yep…believe mine was 3-5 lbs tops. Definitely don’t need to go any higher.

    If you use Facebook, go to the Dodge Pilothouse Era Truck Club page, then look up Douglas Crozier…he is out of Texas and has a ton of parts like that I’m sure. He seems pretty reasonable…good luck!

    While I don’t comment a whole lot on this site, it is a very valuable place for info that Bob has put together! I would LOVE to see it WOKE UP and be “modernized “ to be easier to post with pics etc. I think technology has progressed so much it could easily be done and the site would become ALIVE again in a big way with so many more truck people finding out about it. Perhaps just asking for an extract of the Flathead & Pilothouse stuff and starting a new site for trucks with links from here would be cool as well….for what it’s worth, those are my thoughts. Can’t hurt to ask!!

    Pretty much what I did once I saw what I was dealing with inside... wasn’t with all the other hassle. Used an old guy in San Jose. Does radiators too. Dang near new now!

    I tried to do it your way and it just did not work. It’s been a long time sitting and you constantly are chasing little crap through your fuel system and once it hits the carb, you really start cussing!!! I vote to drop the tank. It’s only 4 bolts and a couple lines. Turn it upside down and do the bongo on it. Toss some nuts, bolts, ball bearings in it and take it for a ride in the back of your other pick up for another week or two on some windy roads and rail road tracks and rattle that puppy! Rinse it out good with some solvent/diesel afterwards and try using a boroscope to see inside what you have left. If it’s good, get r sealed up and reinstall. Add good gas. I would also pop a couple in line fuel filters (clear) before the fuel pump to catch any crap that might be left and just toss em as needed. A bit more work but worth it in the long run. Bad dirty fuel just keeps biting you And costing You Good luck!

    Hmmmm...good question....ever seen a 13th floor elevator? Maybe we should stay away from that number and use it as just a memory...what say you Tim. Got a year to ponder that one!

On that note, you also need to keep safe dude...you’re on the front lines of this crap and dang it....WE NEED A PLACE TO PARK NEXT YEAR!! Cuz we’re a comin!!!! #Screw you CoVID-19!!!...and Toyota still sucks!!!
