That Blue State stuck in the middle of the Desert Southwest...but enough of politics. Just wanted to introduce myself and my '73 3/4 ton that the wife has named "Ugly Truckling". I've told her that all we have to do is sand it down, hit it with a coat of paint, and it will be just beautiful...she doesn't believe me.
So I've chased down all the wiring issues, put in a HEI distributor, painted the inside of the cab, fixed the dash and everything works except the AC which was canibalized by the PO.
PO "installed" a homemade tank on the driver's side with some really nasty plumbing. Stripped it all out and I'm looking to add a stock leftside tank and proper plumbing. Anyone have a wiring diagram for the six-port electric valve?

Thanks guys


Dave...I lived in Winchester VA back in the late 70's. Population was 15,000 and for the two years I was there, Hillbilly Sue and the Dewdroppers were the headliners every weekend at the Duff's Rebel Inn. I imagine things have changed quite a bit since then.

Welcome!

Great looking truck man, looks to be in great shape. You ever hear of a road construction company called Mountain States Constructors over there?

Yup...sure have. I believe they were the primary on the big Interstate rebuild a few years back.

I have been working for them here and there the past year, their home base is over there right off of the Comanche exit on I-25. If I had my way I would live over there in Bourque.

I might be able to dig something up for the tank solenoid. Had the same issue when I picked up my C10 and am in the process of running the plumbing and wiring for a proper auxiliary tank.
