Nevada September BS Thread

Good morning FTEers & welcome to September.


The temps should be getting cooler & the ski season will soon be here.
What are some of the things you enjoy doing during the fall/winter season?

Morning everyone.

Donna, I hope the house is progressing quickly!

Pat, loving the progress on the truck.

Unfortunately, my truck seems to only be moved when I need the space in the garage. I still need to install the fuel tank under the bed with the electric pump.
Then I will be able to see if it will be reliable in the heat. I really don't want to go to fuel injection if I don't have to.

When I 1st had my 67, it used to vapor lock on me all the time but I eventually re-routed the exhaust system away from any gas lines & it seemed to correct the problem.

I hope you had a wonderful B-day!

With the straight 6, the exhaust isn't really an issue. The biggest problem is the tank in the bed and it not keeping prime especially in the heat.
The electric pump should greatly help with this. I am putting a mustang tank under the bed to free up space in the bed. I want to redo the wood floor in the bed.

Good afternoon Nevada! Had a pretty good weekend, lots of body work done on the 67's cab, should be able to cover it in epoxy on Friday. And, I'm sure, that'll show me more spots that will need touchups! Working the afternoon shift this week. I know a lot of guys have done that tank mod, and really like it, Greg!

I hope I can do it justice. LOL!
Still waiting for the heat to stop trying to cook us before I can get started.

I love watching your progress, Pat!

Good morning y'all
thought I would give an update on my end since it's been awhile. So I went to my Eye Doctor yesterday due to some problems I've been having with my glaucoma for the past week. Well now I have to follow up with my primary doctor to get my thyroid levels back on track as my eye doctor feels this could be now related to thyroid eye disease. So is scheduled to follow up with my primary and I will be going back to my eye doctor October 21st to see if there's any Improvement. If my vision has not improved by then, I'll have to go in for an MRI. Anyway, just wanted to give a quick update.
Wish me luck. Thanks
