Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
This is the first carb bracket, that is the only one I have seen online for Holley, mine is Quick Fuel but linkage looks the same. I built one with cable closer to pivot but the picture won't upload.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Hauling Steel
I put my ride back to work today hauling steel for my metal building. With granny low, getting rolling is a piece of cake.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
With the lock-down in place and no where to go, I spent the last two days working on Fuel lines, trans cooler lines, the Lokar floor shifter, and the transmission tunnel. I had the cab off and back on three times. Got it down to a science now with the cherry picker. I still need a bit of trimming the floor to get a bit more clearance for the fuel and coolant lines before the front half trans tunnel can be welded in place. I am planning a two part tunnel where the front half will be welded in to strengthen the floor and firewall since the firewall is recessed, and the back half will use the part of the old floor access panel and can be removable if need be. I haven't gotten this much done in a long time.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
that's interesting that Haggerty turned you down. I had planned to tow my Sanger flat bottom with the truck when it's up and running. I think I need to talk to my insurance agent about this.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
here in Wisconsin if you have Antique Collector or Hobyist plates you are limited to #500 cargo and NO trailer towing. however if you had a vintage camper and were to be taking it to a "show" you may be able to talk your way out of a ticket.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I have to ask myself, what on earth is the purpose of that stupid law? Are they thinking old vehicles aren't safe? Is the state losing revenue somehow, through licensing, etc.? Do the Wisconsin politicians have just too much time on their hands? I don't get it. The good news is, a violation would be so rare that the average cop wouldn't know it WAS a violation.

kind of dumb but they need to fill pot holes somehow, I don't want to have to renew plates on the "not-rod" every year. there was a big stink here last year- a guy with a rat rid got pulled over and was disrespectful to the Cop. he got a ticket for no hood no fenders etc. he appealed the tickets. they threw the tickets out but made him have the car inspected. it failed and the title stamped "off road use only"...BIG TADOO |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
spent the biggest part of today working on my brakes. Lines, wheel cylinders, new shoes etc were all in place. today installed the booster, m/c, & pedal linkage. got the front brakes blead. maybe tomorrow I can bleed the rear brakes. see, there are some advantages to being locked down at home.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
What brand of booster / pedal arrangement did you go with? I'm almost at that point with my build.
Mine has a 5.7 Vortec crate engine with the original S10 4L60E. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
The recommended procedure is to start with the wheel most distant from the master cylinder and work your way closer, ie RR, LR, RF, LF.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Northern: its from Performance on line. bb2-t4755. its an under floor mount and works with front & rear drums, front disc / rear drum or disc / disc. depends on what proportioning valve you order. they say it may not work with a manual trans, but it clears my m21 just fine. Also, their tech support is great.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
with the "virus vacation" as I call it, I spent time yesterday installing the m/c & booster & got the brakes bled. Now have a nice firm pedal with & without the engine running & vaccum applied. I left it on the jack stands over night & found a small drip of brake fluid under the right front drum. looks like the wheel cylinder is seeping a bit. time for a parts store run when my wife will let me out of the house.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I think that may be a complex system but would get some of the unsafe junk off the road. Unfortunatly Wa state doesn't have that kind of inspection. Just drive the vehicle to a State patrol inspection station. They check the vin, check for working lights, good tires etc. If the vin doesn't come back as stolen, your good to go. and there is no annual inspection before a vehicle can be re registered.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
agreed. I started with the front because I had the lines for the front. after all the lines were installed I re bled the system. so far so good. now after I fix the ignition switch today, I may be able to do a test drive. depends on how hard it rains. wish me luck.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
In Indiana no restrictions or inspections. You can run an original unrestored year of manufacture plate and stash the new plate under the seat. The cost is the same. Both plate numbers are on the registration. We only have a rear plate in Indiana. I believe we has an "antique vehicle" plate that does carry restrictions. As the guy at motor vehicles said "drive the wheels off it".

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
