Re: jimmy build

Re: jimmy build
got some more done.
got the steering hooked up, the brakes bleed, the motor fired, and the wiring buttoned up. all thats left to do if get the Z bar mount bolted in, the hole drilled for the rod, get the rear driveline cut down, and mount the seats. heres the new front axle. im debating on keeping the truss on or hacking it off  and the Eaton out back

Re: jimmy build
little update on the truck
took her for a test drive...not so good results  turns out the master brake cylinder is shot so ill need to get that fixed, and also been having problems with the carb/motor. sounds like the motor wants to die when you raise the rpm's. almost like its being suffocated. there's not air cleaner on it. any ideas? will be getting to the front in the next week or so and painting it also

Re: jimmy build
thats what i was thinking. a buddy said it might be a vacuum advance thats not hook up.
were checking everything so hopefully we get it sorted out. went n got a remanded master braked cylinder yesterday. im running a 38x15.5x16.5 tsl radial. im pretty sure they'll rub but i still need to trim the fenders. also went and looked at the original d44 and decided to build it up, crossover, chromo axles, possibly ctm's, and 4.56 gears to match the rear. |
