Re: MY build thread...
I don't know how bad I really want to sell it, I was really just trolling trying to find out what peoples ideas were valve wise. I think you were the only person to see my thread before it was shut off... Should of known better!!
I was snowed in and bored. We got something like 17inches of snow yesterday. (I'm just north of green bay) Spring my ass! One more summer of 2.3mpg and I might swap ya. I bet mine uses 4-5 gallons of fuel to get the thermostat to open. (@60 degrees ambient) I got my windshield from kd autoglass (klein dickert) $235 in stalled with new glass in my shop. Seats i'm no help with. I got one ride out of mine last year (I didn't get it together until November), went to the pay-and-spray, then into storage. I have a few odds and ends finish up to, don't think their ever done. But, I have to get the speedo working (noticed I was missing the drive gear on the output shaft). GPS works in a pinch but reacts to slow. I'll see what I can do about a sound bite for ya, it is surprisingly quiet (outside) for 3 1/2" pipes. No carpet, roller cam, and gear drive you definitely know its running inside!!! well catch you later man... |
Re: MY build thread...
Well post a few pics on this post so I can see it and show it to my buddy.

Re: MY build thread...
I like the center thing.;) Do you have your power steering pump on yet? I'm pissed I have 2 pumps and I can't get ether to fit?

Oh yea didnt get any pics but I did get the pump and lines on. Heres a poser shot in the truck. Two years to get too here. Man I can almost smell the burnt rubber now...Gotta wear the flat spots off the tires. My brake lines look like crap because they are temporary until I get a good tool to bend with. I really suck at bending lines but I can fab just about anything...HUH!

Re: MY build thread...
Well we tried to bleed the brakes and the front bleed great but the back I got NOTHING! I am thinking maybe something is blocking the line but I'm unsure. Any ideas on where to start?Help...
Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: MY build thread...
Start at the master or prop valve, cracking the line connection and check for fluid. Work your way towards the back.

Re: MY build thread...
Well after breaking and stripping brake lines left and right I desided to just do the whole rear half also so tomarrow its too the parts store and get new lines. Found my brake problem BTW, The rear soft line had colapsed not letting fluid in or out. I have narrowed it down to 7 things to drive this thing for the first time in two years....
Rear brakes,lines and lights windshield WIRE the truck! mount the shifter install alt and battery... rebuild new console get some guages. WHATS THAT LIGHT???????? |
Re: MY build thread...
Man your close. ;) :metal:

Re: MY build thread...
I'm leaving out alot like put hood, latch and hardware on, door seals, side windows, sound deadening, and all the other stuff but being able to back out of the shop and drive out of the way sure beats pushing it around or just talking about it... Thanks Alan I was wondering if anybody was still watching this thing...
