NO PARK LIGHTS,TAIL LIGHTS,DASH LIGHTS!!

I am HOPING that all it is, is the headlight switch. They were working on day and the next day, they worked for about 5 minutes then went off and haven't worked since. Anyone have any other ideas??

Re: 302 engine install question

I put a 351w in my 63 and bought a 50$ tubular cross member and centered it up and welded it in, but I don't know about 65-66 though.

Re: new member in Arkansas saying hello

Welcome from West Virginia!! King pins will normally just fold when you go around a curve.(my king pins are shot in my '63) Not so much a "thunking" noise. Check the tires for bulged or flat spots. After that I would pull a drum, make sure everything is still in there and tight.

Re: What have you done to your slick today??

Well I have found a style side bed for my 63, and have decided to lower it some. I got the old flare side bed off and working on cleaning the frame, it has already been painted just cleaning off the dirt now. http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k617/Enix2011/1963%20short%20bed/Zaks63nobed2.jpg http:...

Re: Power Steering??

I drive my truck everyday about 70 miles a day, not counting my extra running on my days off. It equals out to about 1,000 miles every 2 weeks. 13 mpg is really hurtin' right now with only having a part time job. Thank you for the information on the steering box btw, I will look into that.

Re: trouble on DD lane

Yes it does still have points and the plugs were under warranty. Battery is good and it already has an alternator on it. I was afraid to drive it today. I usually drive it 70+ miles a day so I didn't know if it would make it.
