  1. Thanks Carlot I'm assuming it shouldn't be constantly passing air right?
  2. Percentage wise your'e not doing too bad considering all that square footage that youv'e already done that looks perfect
  3. Vegas rat rods and her? H\That Steve Darnell is doin' pretty good. I did that Bug over for my wife, diving lessons did not go well, she just couldn't get comfortable with it. Ended up selling it.
  4. So after a lot of twisting, cut up hands and general cursing I got all the airlines in the dash, dash lights repaired, some wires replaced and a new marker light switch, got everything back together. I have one more air leak out of the bell shaped valve(?) nippled to the spin on filter (i think water seperator also). I know when I don't know something, does anyone know what that thing is for?
  5. The 66 I almost bought had them in the headlight panels (pretty sure they were using up excess B Model parking lights). My 67 has them in the fenders.

    Work boots

    Bought these clodhoppers 3 weeks ago, Chinese Chippewas size 14 wide, have worn them just a couple of times they feel pretty good, we;ll see how they hold up. I'm just too damn cheap to buy 3=4 hundred dollar boots. Plus I usually wear a 15 but some times a 14 will fit. I looked at the size charts for the high dollar boots and found very few 15's
  7. Call Hagerty Insurance to see if they write policies in Alabama.

    I was worried that posting that would lead to some permanent emotional scarring for you

    Yeah but I miss the noise already Jim
  12. Yup I put on an extra tank and it already had a shut off valve which I didn't know was there until I met the original owner at a truck show and he filled me in on a lot of stuff.
  13. All of the finer dining establishments have disappeared
  14. Wasn't the last one left located in Ohio?
  15. What's that, about a 10000 lb front axle??
  16. Some blood, some pain, a possible trip to the chiropractor and the air manifold thing is out. That thing is definitely getting relocated someplace else. the low air switch was on top of this up against the bottom of the dash, that would explain the newer one mounted at the wheel sander control. I didn't know the Autocar factory was staffed by sadists. Now that I've got everything apart, I'm seeing wiring that I don't like the looks of. Might as well.........
  17. Actually filed with used fryolator oil for smokey burnouts just like I used to do with my 65 impala after work at the York Steak House when I was 16
  18. It's an electric welder
  19. Finally got the rebuilt air assist steering back on my Autocar. Had to weld the mounting bracket back together due to a dumbass (me) cutting it when I removed the air piston thinking I wouldn't be spending the money to put it back on. I was wrong. Jacked up the front end and greased the hell out of everything. Hooked up the air line and now I can spin the wheel lock to lock with the palm of my hand. Couldn't turn the wheel at all without the truck rolling before. Been chasing down air leaks on this thing for a while and now was down to one leak left in the least accessible spot known to man. 5 port bulkhead fitting top of firewall behind the clutch pedal bracket and every airhose in the truck. so to replace 1 hose, remove dash panel headlight switch panel, wiper switch throttle bracket and undo 6 lines and disconnect the low pressure switch wire just to almost get my hand in there. Sure ain't gonna put any of the old lines back in so now its 6 lines 12 fittings. Hoping to run out of old hoses soon but at least I can turn the steering wheel now without the maxis coming on.
  20. doh! I really got hosed
  21. It never fails, at every truck show least 3-4 people stop and try to figure out what the tanks in front of the wheels are.
  22. I just paid almost $300 for one from my local starter/ battery guy for the Autocar. I thought he liked me obviously not.
  23. I don't think I've seen anything on this on here yet. Been hearing about it coming up for a few months. http://www.13newsnow.com/news/military/historic-battleships-giant-gun-barrels-moving-to-new-homes/507257216
  24. The B67 used the 20" wheel.
