Don't worry, I love the V6. I have zero trouble from it in the four years I have owned it; other than some pesky leaks when I bought it and now to solve this unusual "leak".

Oh, while taking Rusty to several shows this past 2017, just for fun, I did manage to win one little trophy... :teehee:

...and 2nd in the production truck class at another show. :ahhhh:

Missing the trophy pictures.

That's weird...they show up on my pc and my phone. I'll try again later.

I changed the URL's to attachments above. Hopefully that worked.

After years of wanting a shop to work in I finally had one built this past fall.:bigdance: Then I stumbled on a heck of a deal on a used commercial lift. :ahhhh: I thought this would be a good thing, but after putting Rusty in the air for a simple oil change, I saw multiple issues I was not aware of so that quick oil changed turned into a lot of overdue maintenance work. It's funny how much you don't see when laying on the ground working under the truck versus up in the air. :teehee:

Hey aphaynes! Man that is a sweet shop addition! Your post updates called me back. I haven't been on the 6066 in forever, then I saw an email that ol' Rusty was getting some awards.

AWESOME!!! :coolphotos:

You're livin' the life amigo. Keep the updates coming! What all did you find on that new lift? You know, that new lift that I'm not at all jealous about...at all....:teehee:

Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
 

Ha!...Yeah, never thought I would have the shop and especially the lift...at least not for many more years to come. :lol: It came with a price though. Had to make it big enough for my wife to have her own little area. In this attachment, my helper, that is growing up to fast, was staying off camera after helping me nail up some interior osb to section off the wife's area. Got her all trained up on the HF nail gun though. :)

Ok, so the simple oil change. Once it was in the air, I discovered brake fluid leaking from one of the front drums (wheel cylinder), rear brake shoes were worn out, and fuel leak...I thought..turned out to be coolant. Then I was having trouble with that canister oil filter housing, so Barry hooked me up with a spin on oil filter unit.

Hey Aphaynes - awesome thread. I binge read 4 yrs worth of posts the other night on my phone until my eyes hurt!. I learned a lot from your thread. Awesome truck and congrats on the awards!
