Don’t do it
Put a dual master on
we lived 100 years like this and didn’t die or need to overly modernize old iron out of a catalog cause it’s maybe harder than a catalog
Drums are fine
Maintenance is maintenance
Single circuit brakes with or without discs or drums are what they are
100%
The one I regret the most @ClemsonCruiser
But honestly didn’t have a choice
My wife is coming up on 5 years on 2/14/2024 coming home post surgery as a glioblastoma survivor surgery chemo again radiation etc etc …a “terminal” brain tumor with median 15 months survival
So while I “regret”...
Love it!
Glad to see this truck getting love and appreciated.
I need that Christmas card!
funny how your dog took to this particular truck...
Everyone in my life when I owned it reacted the same way to THIS particular truck...
My neighbor high school cheerleader always said her team wanted to...
yep.
thats totally great!
couldnt have asked for a better person to take over stewardship of this truck.
It was indeed a pleasure to meet you and your thoughtful wife!!!
Hope you can bring the truck to the Rising Sun 40s run on 9/15 or potentially the Rising Sun swap meet on 9/16.
This truck...
Welp,
that turned quickly.
trying not to be real dramatic here, but bottom line is I have to sell this truck.
Which totally sucks.
But not as much as the brain tumor that came back into my wife Hannah's head after being removed in 2009.
next week starts a series of events, the outcome of which...
ol' girl is still a workhorse. they werent lying about being 1 ton rated..
picked up a bed full of sod and dirt, then filled her up with the old clay and rocks from the side yard. she rides real nice loaded all the way down...
yard turned out good.
mommas happy.
took her out for a nice ride...
yea think ClemsonCruiser told me the story, or maybe its just old age and I am "mis-remembering" as ol' billy clinton said...
they hauled some farm implement around in it and tbe Mico line lock had something to do with it...its not hooked up now, but will leave it for posterity
got the tank back saturday after 2 weeks in Dallas for work..
of course its radiator-shop-black..
thats ok I needed it to run had to put it to work this weekend...will remedy the color situation soon
used the seat belt eye bolt kits from Nolans thread to mount my 1965 toyota seat belts i...
yep, thats likely. based on the condition of this piece of s***
figured I would let them do their thing and THEN squeeze tubes of seal-all all over the place
ummm.
its a 53 year old gas tank man.
you dont need to apologize...like I am holding you responsible for s*** unleaded ethanol plus 50 years of age making a tank leak...
good news...though
came to my senses
resisted the urge to fix myself after one of my local cruiser heads talked some sense...
oh, also,
the fuel filler neck rubber elbow is f'ing done, split on both sides..
cant fine a valid part number for that...anyone know if the original is still available?
if not I will look for some other source
the fuel tank in the 65 lpb has several major leaks.
up and down the seams. many previous solder based fixes all over looks like some seal-all/permatex type fixes all up and down the seams and lots of rust inside and out...
not a few small leaks, like pouring gas out the seams and pooling in the...
the 69 is getting real close so decided to pull it out and clean up the garage and a damn car show broke out lol
so screw it lined em all up
the 45 is back at my crib cause the fuel tank sprung a major leak, so thats on the list this week
