    Adjusting brakes

    I adjusted my brakes according to the Red book. So much better. When I stomp on the brakes going 25-30 mph, the rear brakes don't completely lock up, but there are noticeable black tread marks left on the pavement. Does this seem about right? You can barely make out the sound of the rear...

    Battery/Charger/Alternator

    I messed up somewhere along the line I think. Is it possible to have a 12v neg alternator and a 6v battery? (Cause that's what I have set up right now) The 6v battery explains why my 12v battery charger wouldn't charge it.

    Water Pump End Play and Type

    1930 CCPU Backrest Thick to Thin

    We had 60 degrees here in Ohio, so I took the backrest out and ******* some of the springs in hopes of a little more comfort. Man, what a difference! I'm guessing I got close to 3" more room. I took some old galvanized tomato stake baskets, and cut them into 4" pieces, then bent a loop at...

    How to get rid of "barn smell"

    My truck had been in storage for years in a barn. It has been stored in my garage for a year, and it still stinks like a barn. I've wiped it down with cleaners, sprayed Fabreeze, left a opened tub of baking soda in the cab, nothing works. Any suggestions? Chris
