Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
Another way ive checked for spark is pull a plug wire off and put it near the plug and have someone crank it if no spark move back to the coil wire and check another plug to make sure its not a bad wire, not saying this is the best way its jist how ive done it

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
Sorry for the late responses. Getting on it next weekend. Friend came and looked at it, said it may have a cracked block. So does that mean new 350?

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
Turn your lockouts on your front axle to "lock" and pull the transfercase shifter back to 4H. Now you should be in four wheel drive unless you do not have a front driveshaft. I'm guessing if you had it running and driving that the block isn't cracked.

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
Here is the original 4wd drive sticker from a 70 Jimmy ( at least that is what the glove box door is off of ) but this will help as far as visually show you which way to shift the transfercase lever in case you are missing you shift knob. Yours will shift the same way.

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
Okay so it's time for brakes. Can I just bleed them and be good for now? Or should I do more?

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
72 should have disk front brakes. Check the pads make sure they aren't wore down ( very thin). They do have wear marks on them if u remove them to see. Check the rotar for gouges deep scrapping. Rust isn't that good either. Drums on the back. Will be a pain there is more work involved in replacing them and getting into can be a pain hammer usually involved. Ill let someone els chime in there since I'm no expert there but same thing check pads

90 wt. oil about right. Look around the top portion of differential hub for a removable plug. This is where you fill it from. Fill until it just starts to run out of the same hole. Replace plug. Done. (about 2qts, maybe more for 14 bolt) Course, depending on rear wheel seals, and pinion seal, you may have leakage. If you have oily, tacky wetness in your rear brake backing plate and such, your rear seals are leaking (pull the drum and look at the whole brake assembly). Comes from the same 90wt. that is lubing the rear end. It lubes the rear wheel bearings as well. Best of luck, and keep ius posted! That is a Legacy truck you have there! I'm sure your GrandDad is smiling down on you for saving that rig! Congrats!

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
I personally am I believer to never cheap out on brakes, so I'd say do all that you can afford on them. The thing is, you gotta realize that these are what stops you at 45 mph when some moron pulls out in front of you!
