Sounds like you have a cracked head. It shows up when hot and running, putting your cooling system under pressure "crack expands open". When it cools down it tightens back up and holds your coolant system under pressure. IMHO

Rick, Please assure to all us followers that you pay special attention to and religiously use PPE while sanding the CARC on your projects.

May I suggest: If your just at the "beginning stages of your restoration" you may want to prioritize your repairs first. Run that ride of yours for awhile before you start dumping big dollars in to cosmetics such as the dash pad. There may be more urgent repairs needed that should be tended to...

That gray dash pad is not the original. The originals were a "burgundy/brown" color that matched the door panels and seats. The dash basil is the proper one but the PO must of converted to 12 volt . The non stock 12 volt meter in the dash tells all. Enjoy your restoration project.

Same with me, just messing with the plug fixed mine

Rick Re-glue those corners first. Add wide painter's tape around the decal. Spray WD-40 "directly on a scrubby pad or rag" then add in some elbow grease and your problem will be solved. Just saying . Or is it because you don't own any WD-40

A little squirt of WD-40 and some elbow grease will clean up that jacking decal like new.

doghead has been off the site for a while now and won't be able to respond. You can get the insulated 1/4" female spade terminals at any auto parts store or Amazon AIRIC Female Spade Connector 16-14 Gauge 100PCS Nylon Fully Insulated Female Wire Quick Disconnects Spade Terminal Connectors...

KMPH vs. MPH. Depends where you drive it most. The Chinese hasn't figured it out yet in their translation before they built the reproduction speedo

Behr Marquee Exterior flat applied with roller and brush. Center 10 KW genset was painted on access door only. The right 15 kw genset was totally repainted with the Behr paint. Original desert tan was faded so there was not a perfect match but was close enough for my needs.

Welcome to the site, and welcome to the green madness. You will find allot of great resources hear. By the way, you pass right by my LZ in East Springfield when you head to Glimmerglass State Park.

Just an update on Easter Find She is now pulling her weight around the LZ. After giving some vets a ride in the 4th of July parade, she went to work pulling 6 tons of coal- a ton at a time of course.

Rick, your present is terrifying, just terrifying.

The advance solenoid works to increase the fuel delivery/timing in the IP to help with starting when the engine is cold. If you run down the road while the engine is still cold and or with the IP fuel advanced it will run rough make your truck hammer like your banging on the pistons with a...

Check your air cleaner wing nuts for tightness. I had odd/loud/irritating noise that I ultimately traced to a loose air cleaner cover. Also, it sounds like your cold advance switch may not be working and is stuck on. I can hear some hammering on the cylinders as your driving it. Does your truck...

Add some white paint to your foam ceiling when your done and it will brighten your day.

Rick, are you blushing yet?

No matter what is done to it, the 6.2 is still a turd trying to push a 2.5 ton brick down the road. And there will be no speed or pulling records broken while doing it. At least now it's quieter for you while thinking about the next upgrade.
