Re: My little long bed 62

I figured as much with the helper coils, I just havent seen any around. I've been chasing some clutch and brake issues to get this thing driving.

So far I got the brakes working barely, the left rear isnt getting any fluid or is clogged up bad, couldnt get anything out of the bleeder. I'm gonna start by doing some good servicing on the rear drums. The front will be getting updated to something I can more easily work with when I bag it. I'm thinking of going to disks at the same time.

The clutch has got me kinda puzzled. The push rod-side arm of the clutch linkage is badly stripped and I havent found a replacement rod I can order. I may just have to weld it solid. The funny part Is the clutch must be worn as hell because it works with the pedal 3 inches off the floor at fully engaged and to the floor is fully disengaged. Kinda hard to actuate a short clutch lol.

The other problem I have with the clutch is the pedal itself. I can only push the clutch in about 3/4 of the way before the spring slams it to the floor. Right around 3/4 down is a point where the spring will either pull it up to normal or pull it to the floor. Very frustrating!
