I voted just to be a smart a## :lol: :D
good luck

Funny....everyone who posts something, says good things...yet, 60% of the poll says it ian't gonna happen. :confused:
We'll see if the minority rules.

I'm hoping for tire smoke for ya too.Sounds like it's gonna be a busy weekend,If I was a little closer I'd drop in and give ya a hand or two.

Good luck

I'm just not gonna vote...LOL Good luck with it man, you should give me a phone call if she runs :devil: I should be here.....:D

If I say I'll call you, then I probably won't. Thats how it always seems to go...so I'll just say NO I WON'T CALL. ;)

where's the option for parts falling out of the pan? just kidding. I have a lot of faith in you Andy. after all any guy who is capable of repairing a hy-rail system is sure able to get his own truck running.

good luck andy....can we see some before pics? i've never seen the old longhorn....i wanna see some tires get ROASTED.....none of that pansy crap..... if that thing runs good i wanna see the truck dissappear behind the fog...

lol

Andy,
I'm pretty confident that you'll get r done. Just think if you've got snow on the roads you won't need to much to get the wheels spinning. Best of luck.

Don

Andy i think you will get it running,and i need more pics of the install.Remember i am going with the 500 and keep asking you to update your pics?Now lets see some SMOKE!!!!!

And the good Lord said, "Let there be smoke." At least I think that he said that. :burnout:

I voted tire smoke dude! :metal:

get her going, i want to see some more '67-72s with caddy power going. it might motivate me to finish up the 472 in the '67

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em... Tire smoke that is.

tire smoke baby, get the longhorn out and about (or is it aboot??? :D )

The weekend is officially here,guess you're too busy to be in here tonight.Good luck Andy.

nope. I'm here:(
I broke my new tow bar. :whine: :whine: :whine:

Sooooo, get off your hiney and get to Wally world and exchange it. We need tire SMOKE son!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

It's the weekend Andy, let's see some smoke.

C'mon you have inspired me. I'm going to try to move my truck under it's own power for the first time since I've owned it. Well from one side of the driveway to the other so that I can clean out the bed and turn it around so crap doesn't accumulate in the back during the winter. :o

:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Go Andy, GO!

Smoke
 

:flag: :flag: DON'T LET THE WEAK 60% GET TO YOU, I SEE SMOKE ALL READY (AT LEAST IN MY MIND) KEEP US ALL POSTED!! :whine: :whine:

1969 LONGHORN ALL MOST ROAD WORTHY

Last activity was 4 hours ago, I wonder if he's having withdrawls yet. :rolleyes:

Andy you should have no problem getting the longhorn running lets see some tire smoke..

Stop talkin' to women and GET BACK TO WORK!

LOL!
Well...it moved unded it's own power.
I clocked out at 8:30 tonight, and I'm just getting home now. (3:00 A.M.)
After installing a new starter, stabbing an distrbutor, fabbing some pats to make the newer style carrier bearing work, adding a couple gallons fuel, fabbing an alluminum fuel pump block off plate and installing a temparary electric unit...I was able to start it up. (Bummer I don't have an upper rad hose huh?) Bolted up the power steering pump, dumped 5 qts of dextron in the tranny and started it again. Put it in gear and it jumped forward...this is about the time I re-discovered that there is a hyd leak in the brake system.
So for now I am happy with a couple inches of movement.
The carb is acting up. Stock quadrajet is acting like the needle valve....or maybe the float, is not letting fuel in all the time.
So tomorow the plan is to set the timing, plug up all the vac ports, wire in the fuel pump properly, (relay) hook up upper rad hose and fill with coolant, maybe bleed the brakes and maybe tke it around the parking lot a little.


The tow bar deal really has me ticked off. I sold the one I got from wall mart when i sold the GMC. Wall Mart no longer carries tow bars.
So i check out e-bay and find one rated for 5000 pounds (instead of 3000 like the wall mart one) and this new onw is foldable instead of a fixed A frame....blah blah blah. Got it to my door for 75 bucks.
Now it is junk. :whine: I might be able to weld up the mounting point (which is where it broke) but none the less...I shouldn't have to do that.
Thank goodnes I ALWAYS run around the neighborhood and tripple check the bar before hitting main roads. That coulda sucked.




Either way...even though I am p!ssed..I am still happier than a puppy wit two peckers!

I had faith in you all along. I got mine registered and titled Friday so I could actually drive it this wknd. Then I went to hook up the heater core which wasn't hooked up and have had problems with that, so the truck has sat all wknd. Maybe with a little luck, I'll get it all back together today. I'd sure like to drive it tomorrow since they're calling for the possibilbilty of winter weather here.
