I had a 65 stepside I had to get out of the yard. It was a sad day to see another truck go but the new town restrictions do not let me call it "lawn ornament". :study It was pretty rusty, and saved any part I could. The old man who owned if painted it many times with a brush. it had body filler in t...

Looking at a 68 4x4 in my area. It is pretty rusty, it has a plow on it. Havn't seen it yet or heard it run. They are asking $600 for it. I am not familiar with power wagons. is there anything I should look for good or bad?
Thanks Matt

I took my truck in to the shop today to look at my brakes. The mechanic said they are too thin to turn down. I also have a crack in the front right drum. I have a spare axel from an A100. I don't know if it is compatable? I am going to drop them at his shop in the morning. If not I need to find a pa...

I used it on my bed it works great. The hardest part it to get the bed cleaned. I used a wire wheel on a drill and cleaned/scuffed it well. then cleaned it with xylene. I have scratched it in a few places over the years but I am not too gentle when I was hauling scrap metal. I bought a gallon and an...
