its all factory and has worked the same for the last 8k miles. PO was the original owner and the only thing they added was a CB radio. I did notice a fuse laying on the ground a couple weeks ago but I checked the fuses and didnt see any missing. It was a glass tube fuse...?

Hello all, A slight problem I have been having is when I signal right it will almost always cause my dash lights to go in sync with the blinker and all 4 of the the outside corner lights also blink too. This is also noticed on my stereo since it is hooked up to the dimmer wire. When I go to...

My friend and I towed his sister on skiis around downtown Portland in his truck. The faces people made when we passed them were priceless. It was a cool week with all the snow, especially when you have a cruiser.

I purchased this car in January this year. I am the second owner and the vehicle currently has 196k miles. The car has been completley reliable for me and starts everytime even after weeks of sitting. There is a detroit locker in the back, and when driving for extended periods it will click when...

On my drive from oregon to socal yesterday my rear diff started making noises when I came to a complete stop and also when moving forward, turning reverse. After talking to a mechanic we had concluded that the auburn in the back may need to be replaced or removed. Can anyone tell me how...

I just did a stereo install in my 62 a few days ago. I had read a lot about the brackets for the deck being a problem but found it to be extremly easy. Alpine decks have holes in the side that match perfectly to the factory bracket if you mount the deck on the bottom and the cubby on the top...

There is a glass cleaner that you can get at costco, and other places, called spray away that is amonia free and great for tinted windows.

Yeah it is by no means perfect, the other side has a little spot of po tree rub but nothing too bad. I didnt buy this truck with the intention of it being a beauty queen, I cant say I bought it to be a gnarly off road machine either. Just wanted an good reliable truck that can accomplish any...

I bought it as my daily. Wouldnt mind putting another 100k on it myself.

Thanks guys. I am located in portland for the time being but will be taking her down to SoCal later this month for school. Looking forward to the drive down, may try to make a few fun detours. Just for others info since it is asked so often and I know cause I did a lot of searching but...

Hey Guys, New to the forum, been browsing and searching around for about a year know familiarizing myself to cruisers. Finally got my first one last week and I cannot begin to tell you how much I love it. It is an 88 that I bought from the original husband and wife owners with 192k miles. In...
