Re: Restoring Rusty
How did the new clutch feel? Should be easier on the leg.

Re: Restoring Rusty
What ever it is it won't require crawling under the truck or bench pressing 800 lbs. LOL
Seriously, you ever heard that expression, "Man plans and God laughs"? Well, I had plans, I wanted to install that '78 gauge cluster I scored on eBay with a tachometer, volt meter, and electronic oil pressure gauge, but Rusty showed me he has other plans... |

Re: Restoring Rusty
You know what Jake, it doesn't feel that much different, but maybe I got something too tight in there, I will crawl under it one more time tonight and adjust it according to the manual.
Do you know how to adjust the clutch pedal height so I don't knee myself in the jaw every time I try to change gears? LOL, or is it not possible because of the set height vertical push rod? |

Re: Restoring Rusty
They are called rollers and yes they should turn. but seldom do after all these years. At least there should be a good coating of grease on the track and roller. That is a good place to make use of that lubriplate. I myself just use white grease.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Rich, I used Hushmat in the doors, primarily because that's what my local shop had. I also did the firewall and back of the cab. I was surprised by how much effect the back of the cab had. I had figured that "there's this thick seat in front of it, how much could it do?".
If you crank the window all the way up, there's enough room to get the stuff in through the large opening and affix it to the outside door skin.

Re: Restoring Rusty
It is round and it should rotate around the axle.

Re: Restoring Rusty
found the contact spot on that fly wheel inspection dust cover, one swift love tap with the 3 lbs sledge and she rubbed no more
last pic is what it was rubbing against, the end of the crank shaft which is not exactly round but that weird shape |

Re: Restoring Rusty - Speedometer Cable
before putting the turtle shell back on the transmission tunnel I decided I should replace the speedometer cable since the end that screws on to the transmission had stripped threads
I think you do not have to even remove the speedometer from the gauge cluster to do it, you can just reach around the back and snap the cable out but I forgot so I removed the speedo, it was easier since I don't have a dash pad on at the moment in addition to unsapping the cable from the speedometer and unscrewing the other end from the transmission, there are two clip brackets that need unboltnig one has a larger bolt than the other, one is in the engine bay, the other under the driver's floor |

Make sure to bench bleed it when you get a new one.

Re: Restoring Rusty
please inspect your parts before you take them home from the parts house
here is the new cable I got from The AutoZone, the $6 dollar price tag should have been the first Red Flag you ever heard that expression it's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, well how about a round peg in a square hole I recon this special order cable got fandangled in shipping |

Re: Restoring Rusty
well after an hour or so (that I will never get back) I tapped the fitting into submission using a 10 mm socket and got the cable installed, and the speedo works, but since the gauge is bulging out a bit in the middle I recon the cable needs to go in about 1/6h of an inch more but it can't so I think I will be getting another one from The NAPA Auto Parts store tomorrow
ah the joys of aftermarket quality parts |
