Ken | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 12 | Thanks guys I'm still digging for more history on the truck So far, the plates, pink slip, car plate and engine number match; engine block shows a 235 from 54, I assume this is the original engine for the truck; odometer shows 55k, it works and the it was registered at 53k about 9 years ago, I'm not sure what the real miles are; I can't find anywhere with huge rust issues, I'm not an expert by any means, but I have a magnet! It has the 3 speed, most everything on it works, (except fuel gauge, don't worry, questions coming!) , I just changed all the fluids (tranny, engine and diff oil) and am looking for a nice set of white walls, and perhaps a wood bed; it has a diamond plate bed with spray on liner now (it's nice but wood is nicer :)) I'd like to look into an original radio set up as well Here's another pic of her and her garage mate (2012 Volt) I'll take her out for a photoshoot soon [IMG] http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l...09159_1074891288_2884729_659955418_n.jpg[/IMG] | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 575 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 575 | I'm all about the original radio! Is it a 6V setup?
The biggest electrical problems with all these old ladies is bad grounding. Clean up your connections etc - and search this site. Ton's of info on fuel gauge problems / testing etc...
Good luck!
