Re: New pics

Thanks for the kind words!
Here's what it started as last spring

It started out as just grandpa's old farm truck, sitting since '97. It still has a ways to go, it needs inner fenders, a hood cab corners and rockers (and a Dana 60 up front) I too wish it had the '74 grille, i know where theres one and a full gauge dash (and a Dana 60 and complete front suspension)

When I took those pictures today I buried it in mud, had to drag it out with the tractor, and still fought for traction after. I revved it up high and the carb float stuck open so it flooded, rapped on it with a hammer, all is well there. without the air cleaner on it makes a loud hissing/sucking noise, and motor just sounds odd. Tomorrow I have some time to mess with it, I hope I didn't screw anything up...

Re: New pics

had a duh moment, everythings fine with he truck. today i replaced the carrier bearing, are you supposed to line it up centered any particular way? i just eyeballed it. i also put on a new upper speedo cable, before it ticked and swayed 15 mph either way, now it tick and stays within 2 mph, but it still messes up my odometer. should I put on a new lower as well?

Just pull the inner cable out of the housing wipe some grease down it and shove it back in, No special way on the carrier bearing that I know of.
