Let's try with attachments then...my pit crew is growing up way to fast. I am sure yours is to Fetch.

That worked! Great looking family you have there and wow, she sure is getting big! It's so sad, isn't it? My Powder Puff mechanic is turning 12 in a month. We should get together and formulate a potion that keeps them about 9 forever :oldman:

I really like that the photographer snapped one with all of you on the truck. Rusty's soaking up the attention with style!

Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
 

so if my vin number has a F init its called a fleetside yes
or no ??????

Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
 

No -- it does not mean fleetside which is actually a Chevy term. GMC's term is "wideside". What the F means depends on if it's the 6th or 7th digit in the VIN. See

So I have not done any real rework to good ole Rusty in a while. Just been driving it for fun and for hauling stuff as needed. Now I am doing maintenance. I decided to convert the canister oil filter to a spin on. Barry hooked me up with what I needed to make that happen. While I had the truck in the air, I noticed several leaks; brake fluid coming out of the front right brake drum (wheel cylinder), fuel dripping from somewhere around the fuel pump (great...luckily never caught on fire), and oil coming out of the air holes in the bottom of the PCV canister on the rear of the engine.

This thing...

So all that to ask, isn't that where air should be pulled into the engine, not oil coming out?

Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
 

Yes it should unless you have a lot of blow-by pass the piston rings. You might want to check the PCV valves to make sure it is working correctly. They are located on the top of both heads under the valve covers.

Thanks. I replaced those three or four years ago, but worth a look.

Looks Sweet, PLEASE keep the V-6. You have an intact radio delete plate (always nice).
