Re: deisel trucks

A little while back i bought a sales poster from 1961, ill post a picture when i get a chance, but it said they had the option of Cummins diesel power. Anyone know anything about this? I believe the poster could be original because it is very thin and yellowed paper and is very brittle.

Re: Any Good Salvage

Re: Not really the place..

The thing is i already put new TPS in it, and had alternator tested. Should i just try to get ahold of a good alternator and try it? Just in case it is screwing up the ECM, or could it have fried the ECM?

Re: Not really the place..

Sound System

Got an old 8 track car stereo to put in the old 66, also got an adapter that allows me to play casettes in it, then i can get an adapter to play my ipod through that, kinda confusing i know... but the good thing is i think i can rock out without hacking up the dash and putting in a newer stereo.

Anybody done any kind of plating on their hood hinges? If so can you post some pictures? Ive been wondering about zinc plating but not 100% sure yet. Any pictures or comments are much appreciated! Thank You.
