ah! good call - ill have to do that today. what about the carbon filter? any other ones i should grab while im doing this?

alright i might be diagnosing this wrong but i think this is supposed to be an open hose? If im diagnosing this right this is the HAC, and is supposed to have a open line downward? about a dozen more vacuum lines replaced tonight, and I ordered the radio!

couple updates... Got everything put back together for a test, carb is running! however idle is still set pretty high, looks like one of the adjustment screws on the back (toward the driver seat) might not have a bottom plate? unsure. havent really gone through much investigation there, and i...

bought the truck in 24' got around to fixing it up this summer where most of the posts are from. still need that bit. are you talking about the t-case to transmission bypass hose? because i still have not gotten to that and id really like to do the suspension and axle work before i break into...

Still waiting on an order from cruicercorps - headliner and whatnot, couple spare parts. I got in all the stuff i need for front axle rebuild, ill get to that after i verify she's running well. Carpet came before all that stuff so, it went in. also added the wiper mechanisms to both the...

Alright - New carpet In, Radiator in, and some SOR vinyl grey seats I picked up from a gent on fb marketplace ($300 for those), the seats are way better! I think he had gotten the foam redone and whatnot. They arent the right color but im pleased with it. When i was pulling the carpet out I had...

i hate to say it - but its too much, hood, 3 doors, tore apart hvac system etc just so much stuff i have no where to store. feel like id end up in the same spot as this guy. didnt take it. However, vac lines came in from hps. Dang these things are nice!!

Ooooo - quick update. I found an absolute steal for some parts. $100 for a bunch of stuff. the hangup is - ive got to take it all. but i mean in looks like its in decent shape. seats dash hatch etc, think im going to do it if my wife is okay with it - may have some parts to resell to help fund...

also I did pick up a couple of those hoses in my last order! maybe tomorrow or this weekend ill have to get the extended hoses sorted out.

excellent info - thank you for that. I somewhat gathered that from some other threads - but its nice to hear it said right out! I try to find stuff in threads before asking about it, but there is a lot of info to come through and some of the older threads mention vendors that no longer exist, or...

yeah! actually thats where I ordered most of my stuff from! And I may eventually order those calipers. I figured I would take mine off and see how they work first - and see what I can get away with. I think the only thing I havent ordered yet for brakes is the brake lines. im looking for...

Im going to see how well the calipers i have work - they were working when i last drove it around. i'll check it out though.

update today. carpet and headliner ordered. fuel pump (just in case), couple wiper arms i was missing, and all the stuff for the front knuckle rebuilds (btw dang i really wanted to just buy new calipers but $550 is pricey). luckily i got that parts cleaner. The list of upgrades is getting...

i actually think its sap! really tough to get off, took me an hour to get that much off!

cleaning up the roof, its been like this since i got it. good thing i started this - few spots were getting down to bare metal. luckily i have a can of spray paint to just touch those spots up before they become an issue. Took apart dash to get at hvac stuff, those levers are a bit stiff and i...
