Awesome Build!

farmtrucks · 05-23-2015, 02:12 PM

We made it. Truck was a crowd pleaser. Truck drove great - but still has a miss, gotta fix that next week

bodydropped68 · 05-23-2015, 04:12 PM

Awesome!!!!!! truck looks great

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-24-2015, 10:14 PM

Truck looks great

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-26-2015, 08:57 PM

The truck looks so nice! Hopefully the miss is something simple!

farmtrucks · 05-27-2015, 10:12 AM

I ordered a new set of injectors - should take care of problem

1972CST · 06-03-2015, 09:41 AM

Any new progress?

Xeen · 06-03-2015, 07:51 PM

Out of curiosity did you use a multi-meter to test each injector to see if they were within normal resistance range, it could have saved a lot of money, unless of course you got the new injectors for free.

LPoole · 06-03-2015, 08:44 PM

What an awesome build. You can tell those kids (boys and girls) are having a great time workin on this old truck. Turned out real good. I like that you kept it simple. Great job. My wife teaches 4th grade grammar here in NC. We need more teachers teaching these kids some real world skills.

farmtrucks · 06-04-2015, 08:29 PM

I got the injectors, but I've not had time to put them in. I didn't use a multi-meter, but use a scanner to kill each cylinder - 1 didn't make any difference and 2 others made very little difference

farmtrucks · 06-10-2015, 10:25 PM

Well I got the injectors in today - and it runs like a charm. I still have to put chrome around the tail lights and tailgate, and put the stickers on the letters for the tailgate. Also gonna get the computer tuned. Should be ready to go after that and put it in ebay in the next couple of weeks - so pass the word to anyone looking for a good truck

**Advanced Design** · 06-11-2015, 07:53 AM

Keep us posted for when the truck goes on Ebay.

I saw the twin to this truck on HRPT in St. Louis and thought it was yours. Until I looked under the hood...

mcbassin · 06-11-2015, 07:54 AM

Congrats on wrapping up the project. I'd love to have this truck in my stable. It will make somebody a killer ride.

bodydropped68 · 06-11-2015, 09:30 AM

Keep us posted for when the truck goes on Ebay. X2 Awesome build can't wait to see what the next class of lucky students get to learn on.

farmtrucks · 06-30-2015, 12:23 PM

I took the truck to get it tuned. It still has a miss. I changed the plug, wire, and coil on #8 - it still had a miss. I haven't had time, but I'm gonna run a compression test to see what it shows. After that I may have to go deeper to find culprit - hopefully a bent push rod is the cause - hopefully it's not a valve problem. It's gonna be a couple of weeks before I can check it any further

bodydropped68 · 07-01-2015, 09:32 AM

darn gremlins lol you will figure it out

Justin@EntropyRad · 07-01-2015, 11:59 AM

definitely following for an auction date

farmtrucks · 07-20-2015, 05:39 PM

I'm gonna try to work on the truck this week to figure out the trouble

farmtrucks · 07-20-2015, 05:41 PM

Bought this today - 65 short bed - maybe this years project

Xeen · 07-21-2015, 12:56 AM

When you start your new project would you make sure and add a link to it in your signature so I can follow along.

farmtrucks · 07-30-2015, 09:56 PM

Well I finally fiquired out the problem with the truck. It ended up being a bad injector in the new set that I bought to fix the miss to start with. That's another lesson learned the hard way - just because they're rebuilt, doesn't mean they are good Needless to say, I am very ticked off - but glad it's finally fixed. I have to download some good pics and hopefully get it on ebay next week. I will keep you posted

flashed · 07-30-2015, 10:36 PM

Please give us a link when you do so we can follow along ,great job on the truck.

That's exactly right always check rebuilt injectors before installation, don't assume they work as intended.

farmtrucks · 08-01-2015, 07:50 AM

I put several miles on the truck yesterday, everything seems ok now.
Running down the road with the A/C blowing and everybody looking and giving a thumbs up was a good feeling!
