So I did a shake down run last night and figured out I had a bad oil leak on the right valve cover and the throttle would stick open because it hit the new intake I made. Also found that my shift tube bushings were trash. Fixed all those problems. No leaks, throttle is not stickin gear selector is nice and tight. Starts in park. I'm feeling happy. I got it out ran it around forward- yep! Reverse--yep! So I am feeling a little rowdy. I put it in low

Lol, my puppy helped me post my last post before I was finished. So as I said I felt a bit rowdy and confident in the ol boy. I put it low and got doing a pretty good one leg burnout and BOOM! Scared the s#!t out of me but all is still running good backed it back in the barn and found this

It blew the intercooler pipes off so I guess it is making good boost

Spray some hair spray on the turbo end and slide the pipe back on, it'll never come off again.
Charge air booms are always the ones that make you greatful the days you wear your brown pants.

I see an old Corn Binder on the other side. Don`t see those around any more. I have a 67 1 1/2 ton. 68 was last year of that body,
before they went to the square body.
Installing a 7.3 IHC in the Corn Binder would be a perfect set up.
Would get better mileage than the 345 in it now.
Those were pulling engines but got 12 Gas Stations to the mile.

You have a nice shop. Your 2 post Lift sure a is nice addition.

Bull`s rule.

I had a 1975 1/2 ton 4X4, 4 speed with a 345. It wasn't terrible. I got about 12 MPG out of that. It was GREAT compared to the 1975 F150 with a 429 that I had at the same time. That got about 6-7 MPG.

I had a '67 Scout 800 in high school. Little 266 V8, 4 speed, 33 inch tires, and a 45 mile commute to school each day, one way. IH stuffed 9 gallon fuel tanks into the rear fenders of those things, one on each side. One of the tanks rusted out, and for a while I only had one functioning tank. I had to fill up EVERY day. Cold SOB in the Northern Minnesota winter too. It always started, even at -30 or colder, but I made that drive in a full pair of Carhart's many times.

To throw out a story that's TOTALLY unrelated to my truck, I know a guy who has a 60's model Scout. All I now is that it has a V8 and an automatic transmission. That thing is completely rusted out at the back end, it looks like it should be on it's way to the crusher. One time, I was there talking to one of his sons. The owner came along, stuck a battery in the Scout, dumped some gas down the carb, and it started right up. It sounded good, other than a rusted out muffler, and didn't even smoke. He drove it forward and back a few times and shut it off. After that, I tried to convince them that they should shorten the frame and then put the son's 67 Mustang body on it. The Mustang was in good shape, it just didn't have an engine or transmission. It sounded good to me.

When I got out of the Navy in 66, I bought a 64 C-1000 1/2 ton
with the 266 V8 3 on the tree and Step Side. C-1000 had the
Torsion Bar front end.

The factory stuffed in the Nisan SD-33 6 cylinder Diesel engine
towards the end of the Scouts run. 80 I think was the last year of the Scout they installed the SD-33 with a Turbo.
