I believe so, '68 being first year of longhorn. first year models are always cool! and that sounds about right off the top of my head for production numbers of longhorns, if I recall correctly, through '72 annual production numbers were only 4 digits. nice job milling your own bed boards. I...

I know a little bit about this era of gm trucks, short reply... first 400 sbc factory available in a gm truck was 1973, beginning of square body series. 1973 was also the first year bbc were factory available in k series 4wd gm trucks. first 396 bbc factory available in a gm truck was 1968...

nice looking truck, and great job on the bed wood! for those that don't know, 68-72 chevy/gmc longhorns had a 6" longer wheelbase of 133" and the beds have a 6" extension making them 8' 6" overall. the bed is extended at the front where seam is visible, they weren't filled at the factory. the...

Fritz never misses a free bucket ride! :LOL:

last month tried the man basket out at the neighbor's place so he could reattach some insulation, works great!

well actually two different days recently 🍻 new Jenkins 6' brush mower rocks! jenkins super duty tree & post puller delivered today, no pics yet tho. jenkins skeleton grapple bucket delivered same day as mower.

that's a good idea, they can get blue tongue from those bugs in stagnant water in severe drought areas. our springs are still moving so the natural stream pools are holding for now. if we start drying up, I'll sprinkle a couple of stock tanks around. couple of boys filling out nicely on...

that's a bummer on the setback, but there's no shame in sharing your fitting tree. 😀 btw, the thread size of a -8 orb is 3/4" 🙃 I highly recommend printing a handy little chart like this or whatever fittings you're working on and slip it inside a plastic page protector or laminate for the...

a lot of fittings are available in -L long or -LL extra long, etc. very common on crowded manifolds to get lines to run over the top of each other without adding additional connections. and of course as stated above one short additional fitting (two joints) will get it done as well. good...

ya know, I spent 20 years, two weeks, and 2 days in the navy.. seen a WHOLE LOT of tattoos although never interested me enough to get one. but one of the last things on earth I can possibly imagine tattooing on my body would be a deformed raccoon from seattle. :rolleyes: now, this is funny...

I suspect at least one, if not several, generation gaps to understand that one. 🍻

my dad was a main frame welder at the independence plant 37 years until it closed in 2000 and moved to hesston and he begrudgingly retired. our 1964 model E made the first year he worked there.

classic symptom of a fuel pickup tube leak inside the tank. equipment vibration and fuel slosh can work on joints and fittings creating air leaks once fuel level drops below the connection. plastic/rubber parts can split and crack. 3/4 gauge indicated may be right where pickup tubing connects to...

maybe I can help clarify a little bit. first of all, consulting the manufacturer's service/repair manuals is the best advice anyone can give you. following generic advice without the appropriate level of experience can be dangerous to personnel and/or lead to catastrophic failure. as for...

depending on the implement, something like this may come in handy. we have a few dual pinned implements, much more convenient to attach than fiddling with bushings. typically cat 1 facing in and cat 2 facing out. can also be accomplished with two pins each side if you have enough room. Lift Arm...
