Young Ed Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 I guess I've never gotten very good at "wrenching" then. I was thinking the same thing! However he did say fewer not none.... Quote
Dave72dt Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 Still get a leak now and then. But I don't wrench as much as I used to either. Spend more time sanding. Don't think I have any fingerprints left at this point. Spent yesterday under my daughter's car replacing brakes, leaking power steering line, changing oil - no blood but dirty enough I could have used a stream cleaning. Quote

pflaming Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Posted May 11, 2012 Tim, misery LOVES company, which may be another reason so many like this forum and old trucks! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 After spending a week under my truck, on a concrete floor, there are two things I would do if I would do another TRUCK:1) I would remove the doghouse and the bed, lift it with a fork lift and steam clean it very thoroughly!!!! 2) I would NOT put that doghouse or bed back on until I had road tested it. I would be easy to put temp head lights and tail lights on it to make it legal and put a good weight on the back frame above the axle to replace the bed weight. That would make so many of the tasks 90% easier. pppfffftttt, street legal: http://s1178.photobucket.com/albums/x365/ggdad1951/?action=view¤t=downthedriveway.mp4 Quote
Young Ed Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 pppfffftttt, street legal: Agreed my first drive was on this. I even had a passenger seat. Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 Agreed my first drive was on this. I even had a passenger seat. Having worked in the fluid dairy industry for much of my life I assume you properly aquired the seats in your photo. In the 60's and 70's milk crates became a home decor item and the milk industry paid the bill. I must admit that I had a couple of those crates in my garage for a while. Quote
Young Ed Posted May 11, 2012 Report Posted May 11, 2012 I think those two came with the truck I have others that were given to me by various people. Quote
NiftyFifty Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 LoL.... My first drive in my 50 was on an old wooden step and my wife got the milk crate!! Only had this truck 3 years and it's a never ending project... Got its second paint job last 2 days... New rims and tires this year as well Never expect that you can finish the truck all in one season.. I have endless hours in my truck and that's almost zero body work... All running condition work and upgrades Agreed my first drive was on this. I even had a passenger seat. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Ha... milk crates and wood benches?... At least I used a little style and installed bucket seats. Quote
Todd B Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Merle, That just gave me a chill. That is more snow then we had all laast year. Quote
pflaming Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Posted May 12, 2012 Merle, is that your version of 'vintage air'? Quote
Merle Coggins Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Yes... the A/C worked great that day. Heat, not so much. I was amazed how much air that engine fan moves. Merle Quote
