Good news, the custodian that is a huge CHIEFS fan and lives right around the corner from me bought it. Didn’t sell it for the money, it just became clear it was more of a toy than a need.

I haven’t had any luck figuring out how the little clip connects the wiper arm to the wiper blade. Could someone take a photo of this connection please? Seeing how it’s hooked together would be a huge help. Thank you!

Because I like remembering all my construction language I have set aside for years. Actually, not too bad so far. It would be nice to have smaller hands to get to the bolt that holds the divider strip between wing window and door glass out. So far, one wing window in. Next up, the other window...

I think I know why my truck likes to "judder" every now and then. It's been really pissing me off, because I KNOW how to drive a stick. So hopefully it isn't too hard to replace these mounts. There is a local welder who can put a stick to the cross member. The mount on the passenger side is...

I sure am sorry to hear about all you have coming at you down there. I know there are a bunch of fine fellers down there that are in the way of this storm. I hope you are able to stay safe and keep your rides above the water. Thinking of you, and wishing you the best.

So I was upstairs on the phone yesterday (yes, a chair would have been more comfortable...) when I heard a couple of car doors shut. I looked down from my lofty perch to see a husband/wife (?) get out of their car and go over to my truck. The guy turns, standing next to my truck while she...

I really enjoyed tooling around this little town over the weekend in my G. Last night, before I put it up, I went down through the park and then out onto the bypass to get it up to speed. Man, it drove ~so~ nice! As I was coming up to the intersection that I was going to take, as I started...

This is kind of old truck related, since we drove out to our little airport here in town in my old truck. They had a few old WWII airplanes fly in to put on a show. I asked my dad if he'd want to check it out, so we did. It was so great to have him riding shotgun in that truck of mine that you...

Well, even though my CHIEFS flamed out down Texas way, it was a great day for my truck. Thumbs up from so many, and two people just had to take pictures of it before I left the grocery store. Have I mentioned how much I appreciate the help I got on here that has me rolling around town? Here's...

Took my truck for a nice jaunt about town, but it died at a stoplight. Pushed it to the side, called my wife (who "oddly" didn't care to go for a trip tonight...) By the time she got there, I had started it back up. I told her to follow me home, made it a few blocks and it died again. It's a...

I know there are so many on here still building their rides, but I have got to say, I <LOVE> driving mine! (Even though I still don't have a bed on mine...) I love the way my truck starts, and runs, and handles. My 228 shows no signs of giving up the ghost, the transmission shifts through the...

So if any of you are going the stock look and using the decals for the odometer, here's what happened to me. Many years ago, I pulled my gauges and completely reworked them. They had the Chevy black and white face plates, and for some reason I wanted the tan GMC face plates, so I order them...

All I have is a maintenance manual, and it doesn't have a thing to do with the heater. I have a '52 GMC, and I need to remove the heater and put a new 12 volt motor in it. While I'm at it, I will pretty it up as well, but I would like to see how the thing is supposed to come apart before I get...

Before building this, I had to move my truck about 8 feet, straight to the right. It was too close to the fence, and the city wouldn't allow me to build this any closer to the property line. After that was done, I stuck the 4X4s deeply into concrete, and then went to town. I wanted small...

How cool is THAT?!?! Umm, feel free to "Like" this message~ I guess the new look is okay. I hate change, but this is user friendly enough... Back to trucks.

So my 228 has the wide 5/8" belt. The alternator I will be getting someday soon has a pulley for the narrow 1/2" belt. Any problem with just switching to a 1/2 belt instead of swapping out pulleys? Thanks!

This thread is waiting for input from Nate. :D Hey, he promised... Thanks!

Let me see what you got! Well, one thing my truck has is a dead battery~ I have pulled the brake spring I got from The Filling Station and need to take it along to find a similar, STRONGER spring. (but not *too* strong) Just strong enough to finish pulling the pedal that last iddy bit so...

Apparently, my camera had something going on with it. Anyway, I thought blurry pictures would be better than no pictures at all. (but not by much...) Another well attended show!
