What did you do to your truck today? (1 Viewer)

No pictures, but I installed a set of Man-A-Fre caster correction drop brackets. From a steering standpoint, the thing drove fine without the caster correction, but like many have said, it is slightly, but noticeably better with the caster correction. It also eliminated my slight vibration in the front at highway speeds.

I also changed the oil in it and did a quick chassis lube...

Got the starter cleaned up and she's cranking better now. The fuel pump seems to be working. The fuel in the tank is awful. Working on draining it. Hooked up to a gas can and almost had her running. But I didn't have enough fuel. Got my cans filled and hope to try to start again this weekend. Along with draining the tank.

Sweet!!!! It was running good before the slave cylinder went out.

Took the RTT off of the 100 and put it on the 80. We are taking both girls camping this week for spring break. I'm gonna sleep on top with my 3.5 yr old and mama is sleeping in the truck with our 1 yr old. I'll post pics when I get the truck loaded.

Cleared a clogged idle jet. Still not running. It starts every time I pump the pedal and fill the carb. Need to checkout the rest of the carb. Have it running off clean fuel from a gas can. New plugs. Drained 5gals from the tank. (Still more to go.) Pulled the rear heater to access the tank. Started cleaning up the license plate holder.

Pulled the radiator and found the leak, was hoping to just have it repaired but the core is in bad shape so I have to pick one up. Pulled the Elocker actuator and tried to retime it not sure if its fixed but seems to be working better. Painted my 5th 80 series wheel to match the others. Cleaned up the shop a little and called it a day.

Finally got the front spring perches all tacked on and the weight of the truck on the axles. Bolted it all down and now it is on both axles. Now the fun of the cut and turn.

Finally got that sum beech water pump off the 62. time to clean, scrape and install new stuff. Hopefully I won't have to worry about this anymore.

Thanks Sir, have you made any progress on the 40 ?? Things are starting to take shape and moving along pretty good. Hope to start breaking it down and powder coating a bunch of stuff and then doing some more body work to get ready for paint.

She started idling on her own last Friday night. Was able to get out of the driver's seat and walk around while she purred. Very exciting. That is until I ran out of gas. She did seem to be running well. Felt strong. I still need to finish draining the tank and take a look inside before I fill it back up. She's running off gas cans right now. I hope the tank is ok so can I get her on the road. Still need to install the new slave cylinder.

 

[RSHARPfzj80]

Got my front brakes and rotors fixed on the 80. I figured out and fixed my running lights too. No more blowing fuses.

 

[jason in tn]

Nice new parts!!!

Looking good there Rance !!!!!
