Scotch brite will not level off paint just scuff it! Denny

The tires are no louder, hardly any chunking and I have put about 7 or 800 miles on it since I did it. I drive mostly gravel and paved roads. No ballance issues either! Since I am unfortunately computer illeterate I don't own a camera, computer or cell phone so no pictures, sorry. I'll do my...

I had no idea they started building gun trucks as far back as 1865. The things I get to learn on this site! Denny

I've grooved my 900x20s and it makes a big difference on wet or snowy roads. It is a lot of work about 1 hr. per tire. For me though the work ended up to be worth it in my opinion. I used an Ideal tire groover with a #3 headand blade. Denny

Those are probably just a civvy bolt pattern. Go to a junkyard or find a old GM grain truck for rims 40, 50, or 60 series. Denny

Sounds more like she is plotting a divorce.:doh: Denny

I still can't fly mine too good but I can crash the h*ll out of it! Denny

Wow what a good read! I was too young to know much about Viet Nam at the time but now I am learning why my cousins and other vets I know will not talk about it. That gave me a good lesson on painfull memories. Thank you for your service! Welcome home! Denny

Definately not solid state far too big and old, but it does look like a voltage regulator. If the points aint pitted and the coils are not burned out it may still work. Denny

Ha! Your just having Indian summer to us colder climate folks. I remember pulling my trans in my 63 chevy truck one balmy evening -10 degrees rebuilding it and putting it back in the next night -17 degrees. Denny

If you have been driving it in the snow it might be frozen. Unthaw it one of 2 ways start it and let it just idle in neutral forever or go buy a weed burner torch and 20# propane bottle light it and put it under the front of the truck away from oil and fuel leaks of course! :shock: But if it...

What about using the quick connects off of a snow plow? Cheap and plentyful also easy to get. Denny

The Marvel Mystery oil in the crankcase of a new engine is a bad idea get it out! It will thin the oil too much. You should have added some Marvel Mystery Oil to the gas though to act as an upper cylinder lubrcant and valve guide lubricant. Run your oil in the engine for 1 hr. with a zzdp zink...

Thanks Recovery4x4 thats exactly what I was thinking. Denny

Ford lug patern for 1/2 ton truck would work also. But I have no idea if ford even made them try aftermarket. Denny

Try M Series Rebuilders. A word of warning though he ain't cheep! Denny

Sorry to hear about your adventures in my state. I'm glad to hear ya'll walked away though. Stupid is universal, no matter where you go you will allways run into a stupid person and in this case you litteraly did. My motto slow down a tad when it is bad. Denny

DH you might have spring or summer whale oil in the tank. Wait untill summer before trying to start the truck. It should fire right up on the first 80-90 degree day. Denny

What year does your title say it is? According to your data plate it says it is a 71. What are your frame numbers? Do they match the data plate? (doubtful) Denny

I used to use a 500,000 btu propane weed burner under my dozer until it started! :shock: Denny
