I really like my '15, but if I had to look back at all the styles, I like the late 70's/80's style. I think that was the last one to have an identity until now.

I also like my 15, but I've always loved the 67-72 body style. I have a 71 short bed 4x4. It definitely gets a lot of looks!

Our shop had a '49 Standard pickup as one of the shop trucks. Loved driving it, always would start when the others wouldn't, you could take it down muddy lanes to get to the wrecking yards to get parts. Base of the windshield cranked out for air, that made it cooler inside on hot days than any of the other shop trucks. Old Red took a licking and kept on ticking. It was just like this guy, only in red

I really liked my 79.

 

I did not like what followed, and today is the worst.. they are trying to make an id.

like a girl with makeup.

 

I had to swap lights in my 96, of course I mentioned I do all LED.

I hate the tiny headlights. Swapped it for projector +LED, as that would be the safest legal route.

 

looking back at it, it became my favorite.

the function over form, and it is menacing, unexpected.

 

I guess we have to make our own stuff.

'79 were pretty sweet. The interior of the new models are nicer for sure though.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
