check out that cheesy grin!!!!! it is totally amazing how a paint job can boost a truck guys emotions. That is a really sharp truck you have there. You should be proud, i would be. you remind me of the day i got my 69 charger back from paint many years ago. I drove all over town showing her off. tha...

got kinda busy last night and today, havent got to check the differences with the 84 ram, hopefully i will be able to mess with it in a bit, right now doing surgery on a vacuum cleaner that my niece has nearly destroyed. probably been cheaper to just go buy one, but darned near got it back together ...

I was just in this area on my 71 in past couple days.. My truck had sat so long with the varnish in the tank , that it completely clogged the end of the pick up tube ( next to the sending unit). I decided to save myself some grief and take it out , clean it up reall good , clean and replace fuel lin...

what seems to be the problem up north? Dont you folks believe in the concept of road salt in the wintertime? These trucks should have been recycled by now. joking, man i wish i came across material that clean around here. not much older than mid eighties in salvage yards, usually early 90's . looks ...

yep,

i can see a scotty behind that truck of yours, with or without the camper shell. Has that truck got the original paint on it? From the front view, the paint shines and those chrome bumpers glare like new.

absolutely fantastic,

damn, those are sharp firetrucks, they have a stance and swagger of their own. I didnt realize it was a powerwagon as well, guess i would have brought it home if i could. That bubbegum centerlight is a must have. would love to come visit with you sometime, that old red powerwagon is just way too coo...

life can be sweet sometimes. That is one cool looking ride. I think you might want to keep the camper to side, incase sometime you decide to do some retro style camping.

looks like a true find.

good luck with your new toy

thanks rodger, at least ive got a direction to try hear. in this neck of the woods there are very few of these types of cars in the wrecking yards, and it seems that as soon as they get there, they CRUSHEM!!!! it is very frustrating. Most just give you a deer in the headlight look if you asked them ...

The cab area of your truck looks darned near new!!! I always thought the old firetrucks where cool, just never really thought about what i would do with one if i had it. Probably think of some crazy reason to drive around with the lights on!!!! i agree with the last poster, that looks like typical e...

i am going to have to do something on this silly radiator, the substitute GM one really isnt even close to a fit, and now has a couple little leaks, before dumping money into this, i would rather get a mopar type one that fits better. I know i am not the first to have to deal with this problem. than...

Back on this 71 slant six again. currently, the radiator is a gm style unit with the heads and tank on the ends of the radiator, instead of top and bottom as standard. I havent been able to find a replacement in local wrecking yards( they got crushed with last years scrap prices) I would like to at ...

you got off lucky with a cheap quick fix. its amazing what a little cleaning will do sometimes. I used to have an 83 d150 that was a personal play toy( she would scoot) that had a slightly warmed over 318 auto in it. it was a combo vehicle , i used for both personal fun, but also towed loads as heav...

i am trying to plan ahead a bit here, i still havent recieved my title for the 71 yet, but at least the guy says he sent it out? Anyhow, i know i need to replace the floor boards on both sides. i dont have much doubt about being able to build a set, but saw the ones listed on the powerwagon site, an...

I was watching a short film of the making of the Sam Pecingpaw film "The Wild Bunch" , another great western i might add. But in several scenes during the film it showed a pie plate dodge what appeared to be a short bed, of course it looked great , it might have been 2 or 3 years old at the time. du...

i agree with hobcobble, the red, white, and blue look like the old amc nascars and the transam cars . probably lots of you dont remember them, heck i really only know of them from pics in books as i was probably 5 or 6 when they where racing. I thought i kinda liked the 3 color scheme, then when i s...

maybe, my english is broken. Maybe i am a bit sensitive at times. does that make me all bad , hell no!!! anyhow, i did everything the BMV told me to do and more. EVERYTHING. I didnt skip any steps or overlook anything. The entire holdup was the guy who was the last registered owner of the truck. He ...

From posts i recieved in another section of this forum, evidently some people here seem to think i have bad will towards someone who had offered to help me over a week ago.. I had been having an email conversation with plyduster regarding a title i needed for my truck... We had contacted back and fo...

Really sorry about preaching the same sermon, but somethings gotta give. still needing some assistance with title and tags help. see my parts wanted add

thanks and god bless,

moderaters or somebody? when i view posts here, the avatars show up , and about a third of the pics posted show up,, but most pics shown end up being a white rectangle, with an "X" in it. when i click on the pic, i get a bunch of computer garbage , that looks like old ascii code. What am i doing wro...

sorry i freaked you out wally!! certainly did not mean to do that. and my internet explorer cut out on me twice will i was sending to you , thats why you got three messages. Sorry for being such a dummy. I had legit questions and thought maybe you could answer. I will do my best to keep to myself, t...
