60Patrol

Thanks all! I'm pleased with how it turned out. The wheels have a nice inset as well, closer to original.

So after almost a year of owning my Patrol :dance: - I've accomplished what I wanted to with my wheels and tires. The truck came with some chrome wheels, (off a 70s Jeep I suppose), and super wide 10.5" ballon tires. I found some 15" steelies on Craigslist, as close as I could match to the...

Another big thanks to Ron for a beautiful rear step!

Day 3: Great progress today. We now reliability have horn, brake, running, signal, headlights working... and a functional fuse block! (a HUGE thanks to Cam! :clap: :dance: We cleaned a bunch of connection and cleaned up in the dash. In looking around the wiring we found this: https://photos.smugmug....

Thanks Ron!!!!

We spent some more time chasing the charging system and other issues today. The strange thing is that the alternator as it was wired was putting out 15-16 volts at normal operating RPMs, that is enough to be bad for all kinds of things.

Thanks Esteban! We were also looking at that counter-weight, we just weren't sure what the natural state was supposed to be, or which way is open and closed. Here's a few pics of the spring. It's definitely loose, but still has spring to it, to keep the weight at about a 45° angle. When the weight i...

I'm still having trouble with my Rochester carb. :roll: I've taken it apart and adjusted the float level a dozen times, up a mm, then down, then up, etc. The plugs look good, and it's running great when it is. The problem is that it floods and overflows about 20m into my drive. Then I pull over, sit...
