Replaced my ignition to coil to starter solenoid wire yesterday and an oil change in progress today. Drove it some last night to piss off the neighbors too.

I drove to the local NSRA Appreciation Days show and had the 68 safety inspected. She passed with flying colors.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

I took one of my '02 trucks to the Goodguys show in Nashville. If I would have taken the un-air conditioned '69, I would be typing this dead. Anyway, have a look at what I find interesting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Hah! I'm a freak. I like trucks, station wagons, & less popular items (explains the Buicks). Last year I fell in love with a '71 Pontiac LeMans GT-37. But thanks for the compliment.

Plus, I was able to get a copy of the Classic Parts catalog for the '69. You can never have too many choices when it comes to parts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Took it camping to Lake Casitas, CA on Friday, coming home on Sunday. I completely forgot to take some pics for the "Show your truck hauling" thread. On the way home, it got hot enough to quit, and I managed to coast into a turnout until it cooled down. It was hot enough that the fuel was boiling in the float bowl- I could actually hear it! I don't personally believe that that 230º water temp is hot enough; it's been that hot before. I suspect that the heat riser valve is stuck shut. I will be checking that. It has been smoking (shame, shame) when I go to back it into a parking space at campgrounds. The engine has 100k+ miles since the last rebuild, so I'm not surprised. I won't be surprised if it has a roller cam and some other improvements when the rebuild is done. Thread to come. I'll be taking the radiator out and going to a local shop with a good reputation, just to make sure that that isn't the problem. That radiator is only 12 years old. If the radiator is toast, I'll likely be going to an aluminum one. I'm having the first (left) of two surgeries for carpal tunnel syndrome on the 30th of May. It's going to be 6 months minimum before I go camping again, and my woodcarving hobby is going to be toast for the same or worse mount of time.

Nah. They've just been down a lot of roads in their lifetimes and most of them weren't paved. . Me too.

Post Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

I was working and taking parts & stuff out of the ed when the Street Sweeper went by, I waver and he stopped to chat, asked me yet again if I want to sell it....

I need to ask him if he'll take a long bed Fleetside rig as I find those occasionally and I bet he wants a V8 anyway
