Re: How much would you spend
 

IIRC, the bolt pattern is different and offset is way wrong. might be able to get adapters though.

Re: How much would you spend
 

Same parts cleaner we used when rebuilding the carb. Worked great.

Re: How much would you spend
 

Ok that's good to know I'll keep looking I don't know what style wheel I want yet tho

Re: How much would you spend
 

That stuff worked great I ended up getting two gallons just to submerge the whole carb and I like who it came with a strainer for small parts I also let the carb sit for 24 hrs in it tho even tho it said max 4 hrs

Ok so I was test out some wax and rubbing compound to see if the paint would come back and it looks like it will

The bottom right corner is
Rubbing compound and turtle wax and mothers scratch remover
The middle is turtle wax
The top is nothing

Re: How much would you spend
 

That's a nice shine!

Re: How much would you spend
 

Thanks I hope the bed shines like that too. I may pay a professional to detail it tho 100 bucks for a full buff and all the chrome and trim just because I'm in patient or lazy lol

Re: How much would you spend
 

Wow, you got a steal of a deal on the truck. The best thing about getting a good deal is taking it away.

If it was me, I would not do all that work while the truck was at your friends place and I would not be looking to add new wheels while still making payment them with the truck being there, try to speed up your payments instead and get all payments signed, it may be the best way to keep a good friend in the long run.

Just remember his dad said it's worth $3500 and with all that work that you are doing now it's worth $5000 to them.

Btw, I think you found a diamond in the rough, great find, I hope you use it and have fun.

You can die just removing those wheels if they are still inflated. If it were me, and I were ready to change the wheels, I'd start by letting the air out of them even before I removed them. I would not even lay my arm across the rim to do that or stand in front of them, I'd ice pick the tires. Stored energy, when released, is easy to underestimate. Have your friend hold his fist 1" from you arm and hit you as hard as he can. Then, have him do the same thing only have another friend hold his arm while he's trying to hit you then let it go. You will get the point.

"Similar incidents have occurred in the past, where split rims blew apart during inflation or as the inflated tyre was being removed from the vehicle. The escaping air pressure is enough to hurl the tyre and rim with great force into the air".

Re: How much would you spend
 

Yupp not even goin to mess with those death traps lol

Re: How much would you spend
 

Full buff with just rubbing compound so far

Re: How much would you spend
 

Well once you get the shine, cover that thing in wax and behold the great deal you got. Longhorns are a rare truck, so secure that title ASAP.

Yeah, those wheels may have different off-set, not sure about pattern; never hurts to try them on. And, after you remove the old wheels, compare the off-sets. The new wheels may be wider, therefore deeper. On the front, jack it up from the center cross-member then try the wheel on with the a-arms in the dropped position to make sure they clear the a-arms themselves. If the bolt pattern is the same and they clear the a-arms, put jack-stands on the bottom a-arms and let it down on them and check clearance again. You may need to consider the off-set from both edges of the rims. If the outer edges are not too far from the outer edge of the wheel well, then the only concern is clearing the tire on the inside of the wheel well. And of course, do the same on the rears with the jack under the rear axle pumpkin.
NICE!

Re: How much would you spend
 

Well title I don't have but I do I have the previous owners regerstaion, being that the car is so old that is all I need In ct to put it on the road and the problem is with the wheels I have to be sure they fit , before I buy them but right now I'm low on funds so I'm just doin the work on it that I can do for free and so far I made two payments and still trying to pay it off as fast as possible, but I was driveing around the his yard and of cores I had to see if it burn out which it will but defiantly not goin to do that a lot lol it's posi I beleave

Re: How much would you spend
 

Some guys have all the luck!

Re: How much would you spend
 

Is this true ?

1970 was a carry over year...
with the exception of the inner grill and some options. '70 was also a year of fewer sales for the Longhorn. 5281 3/4 tons were built this time around, and only 1404 wer made with the C/30 designation.


There was only 1404 one ton longhorns made

Re: How much would you spend
 

Ok guys so I went to drive the truck home and it died at the end of my buddy's road so I thought it ran out of gas so I put 5 gallons of gas and it fired up but won't accept throttle so my buddy pull it back to his house I took the filter off and it was covered In rust :( so I cranked it over with the fuel line disconnected to see if it was pumping and it was not so I'm thinking the line is clogged from the tank to the fuel pump so I think I'm goin to put a filter in the line to the carb and I'm thinking a filter in the line to the fuel pump and I'm goin to shoot some compress air down the fuel line just to get it runing so I can get it on a trailer and trailer it to my house

Re: How much would you spend
 

nice thing about these trucks is the simplicity of the fuel system. I actually need to work on mine, new lines and filter as well.

Re: How much would you spend
 

I'm thinkin I'm goin to have to pull the tank and clean it

Re: How much would you spend
 

Probably a good idea.

Re: How much would you spend
 

Ok guys installed a inline filter,realized my pump isn't pumping so my brand new pump went bad

Re: How much would you spend
 

It probably sucked some crap into it.

Re: How much would you spend
 

Probully, I put the filter on notice it wasnt getting gas so I crawled under the truck and notice the soft line from the tank to the hard line on the frame rail was dry rotted so I changed it then I blew compressed air in the line from the pump to the tank an its clear then I add more gas then I disconnect the line at the sending unit and put a rubber line to a bottle of gas to see if it pumps and had no luck also put my finger over the line and it did have a suction effect

Re: How much would you spend
 

Make sure you used fuel line and not vacuum hose as fuel line won't collapse from the pump suction. I assume you mean fuel pump and not sending unit.

Are you sure you didn't reverse the lines at the pump?

Re: How much would you spend
 

I couldn't reverse the lines one is metal to the carb then to the tank is rubber to metal on the frame, I was also talking about the sending unit on the top of the gas tank in the cab

Re: How much would you spend
 

Ok guys I can't figure it out I changed the fuel pump again add a filter at the tank and after the pump and there's now gas coming from the tank, I blew compressed air threw the lines and I heard the bubbling sound from the tank, do I have to prime the system or something, I put 10 gallons of fresh gas, and I'm getting nothing to or from the pump

Re: How much would you spend
 

I assume you pushed the fuel pump pushrod up against the camshaft and held it in place with a bolt finger tight through the front of the engine, then released the bolt after you installed the pump. Always put a very short bolt back into the hole afterwards to prevent the PCV from sucking dirty air into the engine.

I have heard of the fuel pump eccentric lobes wearing off, albeit rare.

Re: How much would you spend
 

Also I've seen bent fuel pump push-rods from over-tightened retention bolt, again, it should be no tighter than it needs to be to hold the rod up and then released after assembly.

Re: How much would you spend
 

I took the two lines of the pump, loosen the two screws to take the pump off, slid my finger in there to hold the metal sleeve that rides the cam,to push the pump up and down,slid the new pump in making sure to hold the metal piece up and reassembled it,also had no idea there was a bolt in the front of the engine

Re: How much would you spend
 

that is how Ive done a couple and it works but sometimes it takes a while to get the rod stay up where it should be. its possible it slid down a little too far and is binding. wouldnt hurt to draw some fuel through the line as you hook up to the pump. also be sure to only use a metal filter if you must use a filter between the pump and carb. I also use high temp fuel braided or metal lines only going to the carb. Ive heard of many of these trucks burning down when that line fails on the pressure side. Cool truck, hoping to see more pics:chevy:

Re: How much would you spend
 

Thanks for the tips on the filters, right now I have cheap plastic ones and rubber fuel line, I still think it's something in the tank because Nothing is drawing from it I'm goin to disconnect the line at the bottom of the truck and put it in to a gas can and see if it pumps then

Re: How much would you spend
 

one more thing you might try, take the fuel sending unit out of the tank and check the sock on the sending unit, and see if the gas pipe on the sending unit might be stopped up.
