Nice score :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Great score:metal: If you part out put me down for the custom trim on the pillar behind the door if they are good, ;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Nice score on the new truck!! How was the show in Boise? I missed it. Went to the ranch and went 4-wheeling instead. Finish the first project before you even think of anything to do on the new one!!!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It was fun. Had a great time. There's a link to pic's I took alittle ways back on my thread.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Took out the old gas put in new. Check and added oil. Cleaned out the cab found 3 dead mice. Put in a different batt. Poured some gas in the carb. and she ran. Not for long though it's not pulling gas to the carb. Checked the filter just before the fuel pump it's good. The fuel pump is dry. I can suck fuel to the pump. Any ideas? I'm thinking I need a new fuel pump. Could it be vapor lock? I hate to buy a new pump if I don't need to. It has the straight six in it. New plugs, oil/filter, air filter and I should be running. Then I can work on stopping it has no brakes. Pulled it home on the freeway, took out the front headlights on the off ramp.

I bought this truck just for somthing to drive. My 460 sucks gas to bad and I like driving the old stuff anyways. Here's the boise pics. http://photobucket.com/daverod .:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

They are good and I'm keeping them;) I'm not going to part it. I do have an nice camper you could have, for free. I don't know why they call it custom it doesn't even have a radio. Did have 3 mice though. Have'nt check the camper but I'm sure there some good finds in there too. Did I say it free?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Strodder Rock a bye baby.:lol: Almost put the jack through the window taking the camper off. I don't think it would have been the first time. I might just keep the camper just to piss the neighbors off. :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Vapor lock only happens when it gets hot. Hows the fuel pump pressure. The diaphragm might be dried out. If it has pressure pull the top of the carb off to see if there's gas in the bowl. If gas is getting to the carb, the float could be stuck closed.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Pulled the sending unit off the tank. It was nasty. Cleaned the filter out, ran a coat hanger though the line, blew it out. Started right up. I think a new starter might be needed. When for alittle cruise made it back without crashing. I still need brakes, just using the emergency.:metal: Power to the beaters.:metal: Going to go get a starter and take my fuel pump back, I think the old pump is good for now. Old pump lasted about a hour longer had to go get the new one back. Put the starter in works good.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

If I had a nickel for every time I've done that.......:mm:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I would have made about 50 cent today alone. I'm getting so good I can even talk on the phone and use the brake. Tomorrow I'll have to get the real ones working.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

What do you think your going to use for the rear link set up?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

So far I like this, but I might just do a reg, 4 link. Still haven't made up my mind.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

that set up looks good, only thing I dont like too much is you wont get a whole lot of lift because of where the bags are mounted!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I don't think I want a lot of lift. Just enough to drive.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I hear ya, but make sure you have enough not to highcenter on bumps!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I'll drive around the bumps:lol:I saw one at the car show it was a 2 link. I can't get the pic to load. It moved things a lot but it was just a 2 link.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

"Power to the beaters".........:haha: I'll remember that when I'm driving around in my GM Obama-rado someday.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Nice set up. Kind of interesting how he put the notch backwards on one side.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Think that was on purpose? I did'nt even notice.:lol: Like I said I'm a work in progress. Know just enough to be dangerous.:mm:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Think things out and don't do anything stupid. :dohh:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Stupid? Think things out? So much for my early retirement program.:lol: Put on a new brake line, now I have brakes.:metal: Also needed a new carrier bearing, in the process of that.:uhmk:Got my bearing put in, what a pain. Truck runs good ready for work.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Been out burning around in the new 64. Going alittle further each time. Can't seem to get mt fuel gage working right. When I turn it on it pegs to full. When I turn it off it reads about 1/4. I know it has gas because I just put $20 in it. I'm thinking maybe my sending unit is off?:crazy: It seems to be wired right.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Will you have to take it too the white house for warranty work? :lol:
