Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I've had a high power bogging situation for awhile now, but haven't really had time to address it until today (retired last Friday!). Turns out that the plastic cam that lifts the secondary jets when the secondary air valve opens was broken. I found two pieces in the channel between the secondary bores. I guess the rest went out the tail pipe. Air valve opens with no enrichment, truck slows down on full throttle. Lame. It'll be a ton quicker tomorrow.
It up shifts too early, as well. Guess I'll have to replace/adjust the vacuum modulator. Second gear scratch for sure.

William once you get all the wood out , it not to bad from there on, mine came out real easy but my son was doing most of the work, we had it out in no time...putting it back in was really kind of fun , and that new wood looks great .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
yes on the chain is a folding church key ,and the gas cap key and the tool box key . its hanging on the parking brake handle. I do need more wall space , I have another 200 caps that I have no place to hang them. and a lot more wall hangers that need to be hung up , but no room. wish I had a bigger shop to play in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I went to The Truck Shop in Orange , Ca. and bought over $2,000 worth of bits and bobs for the new cab ~ there's so much more to get yet .
I also ordered up all new MOOG ball joints and tie rod ends.... .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
A reminder :
FREE CAB with good rust free roof and corners , in Gardena , Ca. Come get it fast before they cut it up . Dash is good and uncut too , everything else is trash . You'll need a trailer and helping hands ~ this is a working Paint Shop and they don't have time to screw with old junk .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Bought a new used bumper. Sanded down the black paint and took off the rust in back. Removed the tow ball and put plugs in the holes. New paint and a serious polish and the chrome looks Great! Looks as good as new, $60 bucks.
