Thanks, My issue is that the motor is extremely slow and sometimes works and other times doesn't. Either some bad wiring or a worn out motor. It is a two speed motor and on the second speed you hardly notice a difference. It's just old and worn. LOL!

Saw one on ebay today under 1965 chevy truck...page 5 or 6 ish out of the 20 bor so I looked at

[Dillon Rock]

Just replaced my wiper motor the other day, fluid pump solenoid went out on my old one, and I drilled out the screws on the new one to bolt it to the firewall so it stays in place. Works smoothly and quiet! Now I just need to re-do the fluid tubing and it's set. Word to the wise: if you bolt your wiper motor in, three 1/4-20's or 1/4-28's about 2 1/2 inches or around that area will work. I forgot what length mine were and have some excess left but it's not interferring with the wiper arms in the windadge tray. Hope all goes goo with the install of the hitch and hopefully the head isn't too much of a painstaking task T.J.

Thanks...the hitch should be fairly easy..I already got some of the brackets on. I'll keep everyone posted. I am going to work! LOL! See ya.

[TJ's Chevy]

Alright....after a badly hurt thumb and some growling and groaning I got the hitch installed. Gotta say...nothing is gonna pull that sucker off! LOL! Here are some pictures....

[Ta2Don]

Hitch looks great,
...and if you don't get hurt, you are not trying hard enough...

[bj383ss]

Ok, well I never got the time to take some pictures of the truck with the spare tire add on...so here are some pictures....

[TJ's Chevy]

I'm thinking of converting to a rear frame mounted fuel tank....I was wondering if anyone here has used the one from LMC or Classic Parts. Any recommendations would be sweet! Looking for a 20 gallon one. T.J.

[Jer64]

Hey T.J., good job on that hitch and I'm really digging those mirrors!

[bj383ss]

Hey T.J. did you buy your bed parts new? If so where did you buy from. I am going to for sure need the front panel and tailgate mine are not salvageable.

Actually the whole bed is Original. I was able to get it for $375. I'm going to be getting a different tailgate as well in the near future cause mine has a tab bit of rot...But the rest of the bed is almost perfect. You might keep an eye pealed on Ebay or Craigslist or Google or Amazon for those parts. I'm sure you will come up with something. If I do I'll PM you.

Well I made a short video of me doing some 4,000 rpm revs with the inline 6! LOL! The camera I used is an i-pad so that is why it fell. lol! The popping I am pretty sure is a blown head gasket. Enjoy the video...

Just in case ya'alls were wonderin....my tires are on non-split rims. They are 30/9.50/15 remingtons. Perrty darn good tires...only 6 ply and they handle a heavy load of dirt pretty well....course...now that I said something I am gonna have a blow out..lol! Good thing I have a spare! Also I moved some stuff around the place with it.
