Oss, i am dumb lol. They had all the stuff at the local o'rileys. Problem solved, new accelerator pump diaphragm installed no more leak. And to boot the truck is running great! Thanks for the gentle reply 🤣

Having the hardest time tracking down a re build kit for this carb. Want to make sure the parts are correct, all of the serching i have done has been wishy washy at best. There is two that come up the 350cfm, and 500 cfm. And another consistency is the 2300 number. Carb Was on the vehicle when i...

Cleaned up the rear carpet today and made a template of the cargo area carpet that is toast. Hoping to replace with a rubber mat material. Has anybody done this? Best i could find for the price is 1/4" i would think 1/8" would be more suitable but so far has been hard to find afordably. Hoping...

If you need any measurements, or close ups let me know. This is the info i needed, thanks.

While i have the fuel tank out, i started trying to get all the loose rust off and converted/covered. The no.3 emmision pipe has extensive rust on the outside, doesn't look to difficult to bend a new one if needed. My question regards its interaction with the charcoal canister. In my searching...

Had a rain day this week so i put a new damper in, the old one was s***. And now it "looks cooler" lol. New nippon denso plug wires, Also this fancy new single diaphragm vac advance from @4Cruisers, thanks a ton! Continues is the work on body rust. Want to take care of the area where the fuel...

That's what me think to post in here. :-) thanks for all the feedback! I'm stoked to maybe find out its history.

It a 4/1986. It has been desmogged and has a 3" body lift. Im currently going through and base lining everything. Sat in a garage for a long time, it probably saved its life living inside. That, and the body lift kept the rust at bay in the bottom for the most part.

Recently purchased from a friend in Asheville. This truck has been in the are for over 10 years. Would be cool to get some history on it, and thought i would reach out to you fine folks, to see if it rings any bells.

Not sure if posted already. Fuel pick up tube filter.

Put the manual choke kit on today, Still need to fine tune the adjustment. The choke knob in the cab won't push in all the way, A bit spongy. And when fully pulled out, the high idle isn't engaging. Im sure it just needs some fiddling. Changed the gear oil in the t case as well, Should have...

Started pulling some of the shielding from under the truck and prepping/repairing for re paint. It looks to me like the skid plate for the t-case isnt even from a 60. Or they just beat the hell out of it and didn't bother straightening it out. I have acess to all sorts of metal fab equipment...

Some more, better pictures of the carb/dizzy areas. There is a fuel leak from the blue outlined square. And im not sure what the valve is at the end of what would be to the HAC (red line). Got the choke cable kit in, so that will go on this week. Also a picture of the remaining erg valve and...

Best shot of the distributor i have at the moment. Will get a better one when i have some more time. Now that i think of it, When i was setting the timing i plugged the vac advance line and i got no change at all. That may be a symptom of something?

Engine bay, i figured i would add it the the build thred.
