    WANTED Sweptline Parking Brake Cables

    I have yet to see a specific listing, either OEM or interchange, for the right and left side rear cable setups for a 1968 Sweptline short-box. Do any of you with same truck have the perfect replacement? The priority is the right side cable with casing being 72 -74 inches long. The inside...

    Wood burning stove problems

    Your shop may be too 'air tight'. Like all heat sources that involve combustion, there must be an adequate supply of outside air - preferably from a specially dedicated pipe (6 inch better than 4). Pipe can enter high up and be vertical until near stove - then drop down to vicinity of stove -...

    WANTED Brake Cable for Dodge/Fargo Power Wagon

    Thanks. I see some newer (early Seventies) listings and they don't seem so special. As far as pics, orig cable was seized inside and casing 'buckled' and owner misplaced or threw it out five years ago. I haven't seen truck since November but when it's back to me for maintenance I should be able...

    I am seeking a part or link to a good (new or used) right-rear brake cable assembly for a 1968 Fargo W100 Power Wagon with 12 inch drums. The casing is between 72 and 76 inches long and not sure what length the cable itself would be - to extend about 8 inches out each end. I do not have...

    FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT TO FIT BEHIND THE SEAT TANK

    All good advice. I could not use the A-body rheostat 'cause it has a much longer swing distance - seems like about 180 degrees to the truck's shorter 100 to 110. (guessing). The resistances also way different. No big deal, though. I got back inside the damaged part and strengthened where the...

    FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT TO FIT BEHIND THE SEAT TANK

    Hello. I don't fully understand reply. Yes, there is a problem with rheostat, but it is the moving copperish strip inside - that rubs up and down against (fragile) rheostat wiring. In the early 'cab tanks' this mechanism was attached very high so unless tank kept at least 3/4 full, the...

    FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT TO FIT BEHIND THE SEAT TANK

    Sorry - - I didn't clarify well. I meant to say "the door-lock assemblies" - the part attached by inside clip - that you put the key into (from outside, of course). These (truck) items have larger metal trim part that surrounds the key slot. The car units of that era are smaller in overall...

    FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT TO FIT BEHIND THE SEAT TANK

    Thanks for link. I found this seller and he seems to have a variety of sending units - most are at $100. (U.S.) Considering the CDN $ exchange, plus taxes and shipping, the estimated cost to me (door to door) would be very close to $220. ! I will keep looking for more reasonable costs or...

    FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT TO FIT BEHIND THE SEAT TANK

    This is a 1968 FARGO Power Wagon with tank behind seat - so fuel exits out the top. I am in need of the sending unit and haven't found any listings yet. Rockauto may have listing - but under 1969 search - and, it is a back-order item. Does anyone have a reliable source - CDN or USA? Thanks.

    1997 Sierra 5.7 L. Vortec Timing Issues

    This truck was running but sometimes would make a 'popping sound' - especially under a load. I am posting for someone so know little info - as it was relayed to me. One recent morning, the truck would not start. It sounded like really low cranking compression. The back and forth movement of...
