What did you do to your truck today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My son drove my '67 swb steeper out to my house in the country today, first time on the road since we just finished building it.

Just one slight problem, it died and would not start about 3 blocks from my son's house.

We went back to my son's and got some supplies and tools. He checked for spark-ok, checked for fuel at carb, none. He finally isolated it to the tank as being why there was no fuel getting to the carb. He removed the pickup tube/sending unit and found that the sock had broken apart and plugged the pickup line.

Got the line all cleared out and away we went, it got home ok.
