I have my 42 up on jackstands , the case and tranny split [ with your help finding the last three bolts inside the transfer case] and off to Marlin for rebuilds. The front fenders, bib, radiator, battery mounts, steering box and mount are out yesterday. Today is clean up day. I haven't done anything as major as this in fifteen years or so. I need some advice on how to proceed. I'm going to por the frame as much as possible, install a mimi truck p/s box[ using Poser's info, got the box and a saginaw pump to mount under the alternator, ] New ccot springs and shocks 4" lift ,and a solar converter and some isspro guages, oil pressure, temp and pyro. Here are my questions. I seem to have an oil leak , looks like its leaking from behind the water pump. Is that possible? I want to remove the pump and replace the gasket . is there any where behind that pump where oil can leak out? Engine runs fine other than that. My radiator is leaking too,, Should I have it recored or spend for a new one? Anyone Know of a source for a new one? The mini truck box has a shorter pittman arn[ is that what it is ?? ] Anyway, the arm is shorter than the one on my stock steering box . Should I use the one from the origional box or will the shorteer arm work ok??? Any advice will be very appreciated Thanks Tim
