  2. What was suppose to be a couple minor web server configuration tweaks by the ISP turned into a total disaster. We ended up having to restore from the previous day backup twice as we managed to break the first restore with another issue. ? We identified some/most of issue(s) causing the outage but still don't know why it is causing the problem. Will probable revisit on Tuesday or Wednesday next week in a more scheduled (and announced) manner as I still need to resolve them for the longer term.

  4. I'm pretty adamant about doing backups on everything. The one lesson I learned working in computer industry since the early 80's is backups are your very best friend!

  5. I feel your pain! Been there, done that with some of the Internet services I provide for a couple of organizations. Thanks so much for creating this site and keeping it running smoothly. Not an easy task.

  7. Keith: I replied to your posting about attending the 2020 Hershey event this coming October. I have two vendor sites OAD7&8. So that is the orange field row OAD and site number 7&8. Let me know if you do attend and plan to stop by the site so we can talk. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com cell 484-431-8157 home 610-630-9188

  8. DON"T pull a Los_Control! I pulled my doors by removing the bolts on the hinges, and slid them out. Pretty simple. When I went to put the doors back on, one of the movable plates with the threaded holes, drop down into the door pillar. Still not sure how to retrieve it back out of there. I bought a strong telescopic magnet to try and fish it out, no luck yet. I still need to pull the doors back off 1 more time so at that time will spend more effort to retrieve it. Next time, I think I will try some way to secure the plate while the doors are off, they need to move, is how you adjust the doors. I am considering some clear painters caulk, remove 1 bolt and use the caulk to glue the plate temporarily, and easy to remove when installing the doors again. Curious to hear what others have done to prevent the plates from dropping, how they get them back if they do drop.

  10. I ordered and installed the Mar-K stainless bed and side rails in my truck. their side angle rails match the hole placement of the bed rails, so i had to drill 2 new mount locations other than that things fit nice.

  11. And more goodies in the mail! My upholstered luon door cards are much thicker than the stock vinyl covered cardboard so I had to re-drill the square shafts a little farther out from the stock holes for the retaining pins. The driver’s side was a tight fit tapping the pin home which is a good thing right up until the original pin mushroomed bent and got stuck. I ended up using a little piece of drill bit stock to hold the other side but now it is a little angled and will never come off without destroying the crank handle. So I ordered a new one. Soon the old one will get destroyed and I will do a ton of work to the door. I need to re-skin the bottom 1/2 of the door and bottom, make a rear lower window track to hold the (felt? Fabric?) channel that’s just hanging down right now, put in a new piece of glass (possibly an inch or two taller so it comes even with the sill at full down instead of dropping into the door). And of course the crank pivot will probably need to be removed so I can drive out the remnants of pin and re-drill a properly sized hole dead straight on the drillpress. I want to replace the crunchy area in the hinge pillar with new steel- it looks like the actual hinge slips inside the pillar and the four bolt holes have a little room for adjustment as the bolts locate the hinge by pinching the pillar between the hinge inside and bolts/washers outside. I’m also considering cutting out an access panel to make welding in the glass track a little easier. Somewhere that it can get welded back together and the seam hidden by the door card. I’m probably going to end up just pulling the door off the truck to repair it. This might be a good time to invest in one of those fancy automotive painter’s padded scissor folding sawhorse stands. I’d love to hear any helpful advice from you guys who have dove deep on door repair and replacement. Are new bushings and pins available like for 70s cars?

  12. I measured some engines today, and from the face of the timing cover to the center of the pulley, 1 5/16". I also came up with a post from Sept. 8, 2008. I'd remove the damper and turn the pulley around, it will gain you a 1/4". Your harmonic has moved back, like Yukon said. You can run it without the damper, till you decide what you want to do. I've used hbrepair.com. for my rebuilds. The pulley only lines up one way, so keep turning it till the 6 holes line up. You and your father are doing a fine job. Pictures of a damper, with pulley both ways.

  13. Truck 34 is a 1965 Dodge D200 Pickup, early version, with a Slant-6 engine and 4-speed transmission. Early version 1965's had four headlights in a grill similar to previous years, and the round tail lights on the bed. Traded a 1972 Dodge W100 Pickup for this truck last summer. Truck does the Big 4: runs, drives, stops, and backs up. It's a little rough but it's all there, including the classic turquois paint. Hard to get photos in the late afternoon sun today. Bet there's a lot of people on this site that knew someone who had one of these.

  15. The photo of you sitting in the truck reminds me of that one from the brochures back in the late 40s talking about the extra room for a pilot house cabs. I’m sure one of you guys could post the one I’m talking about.
