Ron, that was my first thought, maybe they were prying off the locking gas cap, but the last time I drove out to my buddies farm and parked it by the house and it still happened, so now it's happened in 3 different places

Oil level is about full, none of the fuel lines leak while running, or after turning it off, I've never found an area where gas is leaking out. I've replaced the soft fuel lines just in case and the cab doesn't smell like gas either, this one has me completely stumped. The last time I drove it I got out and pinched the fuel line until the draining sound went away and it didn't run out of fuel after sitting. Though I did only run it for about 3 minutes to move it.

After getting the filter filled with fuel it ran fine, been driving it off and on with no issues since.
Began doing body work the other day!
Here's the finished cowl held in place for a color comparison:

And I burned a section to layer all the original colors, kind of a cool one!

Thanks! It's definitely not top-notch, mostly oriented to protect from any future rust, I opted to leave the dents and dings in the metal to represent that at the end of the day she's still an old farm truck that's been worked hard and played hard!
I'm currently debating between finding a whole new bed, or making her a flatbed, the bed is beyond repair monetarily, would be cheaper to just replace it. But I think she would be a great looking flatbed!

You'd be suprised what you can do with rattle cans, I have a D/A, sand paper, tack cloth, and rattle cans! Also very suprised at the quality of finish from a paint job done in 30 degree weather. If you want a cheap shiny durable paint job opt for a high gloss enamel and do it a few layers thick, then clear coat if desired

Looks like it will serve the purpose great Hantke! I don't mind some of the trucks history being represented and preserved for the future. Restored trucks are needed to show what was available brand new and survivor trucks are needed to show how they lived and were used. The pic is the dash in my '55 GMC. The satin black is Krylon spray bombs and the blue-green and ivory is brush-painted with One-Shot sign paint.

Thanks for the update---DAC

Default 1966 c20

This one is so beaten broken and scarred it would cost more to restore it proper than to buy a restored truck unfortunately, but it will most likely live a life of ease as a cruiser down by the coast after it's been completely coated in enamel and / or rubberized coating on the frame. I intend on doing a frame off some day when I'm not a broke college kid.

I like your dash!
