They would also need to wrap the white further to the back corner of the cab. Then maybe Ed will buy it.

Yup....Here's one

The later model stepsides had a plain tailgate without the embossed lettering. Just painted. Maybe it's one of these. http://www.sweptlineparts.com/body/23-09.gif

I see a California plate on the truck. Where's the truck located?

Sounds like a good plan Jim. Thanks for the "Big A" burger !

"Better yet connect a vacuum gauge once the engine is at running temperature and set the timing to the higest vacuum reading. Then see how it starts when hot." Is vacuum timing done at idle or at a higher rpm?

Yes....had a Tech come out last Friday. He remove a Trojan that had locked me out of my control panel. He was here for 1.5 hours and only charged me $65. I was so glad to have my computer working correctly again I gave him $100 and said keep the change. Apparently I had clicked on a fake windows update er something.

I noticed something about this truck that I have seen only once before on a 48 pickup I owned in the early 90's. The rear fenders seem to be a shorter than usual at the rear and don't hang down below the bed sides. Anyone else ever seen this?

Oh, not too bad if I stick with the clear stuff the night before. bah dah boom

54 was the first year Dodge trucks came out with a V8 241 semi-hemi.

From looking at the grill I'd say it's a 1960. http://docmo.net/dodgepowergiants/0800/ddpg0810.htm Hey.....I just made my 1000th post !!!!! Why don't I feel any different?

Don, A few questions about your redheaded fire spitter....Have you installed it yet? How much did you have milled off? Did you do a compression check before and after the install? How can you determine if the head has been milled in the past? Just curious if and how much your compression reading increased and if you could feel an increase in HP. The reason for all these questions is because I have a Spitfire head ready to install on my truck but now I'm thinking I should have had more than .050 removed.

Hey man, this movie's gonna be boss with all those cherry rods !

Don, If you are able to make it up to Grass Valley give me a call a day or two before so I can rake out my garage. 530-272-6079 Reg

Take some close up photos of your dist. and get the number off of it. Take these with you to the store and they can match what you need that way.

Several winters ago I was wondering why my heater didn't seem to be putting out that much heat so I took a core reading with my infrared thermometer. I read in the mid 140's and my thermostat was a 160 degree. So....I though Ah Ha !!! I have the hoses hooked up wrong so I reversed them and took another reading. Crap !!! no real difference. Please...don't shoot the messenger.

Aw...how sweet....and what a fast little learner too.......Home Depot's delivery department sucks.

OK.....I have my fingers crossed but it's kinda hard to type like this. GOOD LUCK !!! It'll start !!!!

Thanks for all your help guys. I tried a few tricks suggested by you guys and it's still popping up. I GIVE!!!!!! I barely know how to operate this thing and am gonna call someone. I think I have other problems too. Lately it's taking a long time to restart and keeps working on something for long periods of time after I've fired it up.

OK....I did update Norton this morning. I just ran "HiJack This" and it found nothing. Should I run "CastleCops"

Help !!! I'm worried that maybe my computer has gotten a virus. In the last 24 hours this pop up comes on my screen every 5 minutes like clock work and stops all other functions unless I click on the red X My Gateway computer is 5 years old or less and I'm running Windows XP. I'm a computer dunce. Then after a few minutes this screen pops up. Notice how the word unauthorized is misspelled in the first image. I've run an older version of Norton anti virus and scanned with Lavasoft Ad-Adware and another scan with Spybot Search and Destroy. All 3 scans found a few things and removed them but this keeps happening. Is it time to dump my whole system???????

If it's the rod shown in Don's first photo of the front carb I have one. PM me with your address and I'll send it. Any other carb part needs?

Just guessing but probably the latest model there.

Brian, Next time you go out to the yard in Shingle Springs see if you can check out the rear end ratios. I'd be very interested in a complete rearend with 3.73 or 3.54 ratios. Reg
