Working on the old bolt.
I have changed oil, greased entire chassis, checked all fluids and cleaned and set the ignition points. Left front brake was holding so I fixed that and took the truck out for a nice country cruise as the winter roads are good from recent thaw. Brakes are excellent now and it drives just fine.
I have learned that the engine and trans were pulled many years ago because under the grease and dirt I found chevy orange on engine block and trans. It runs quiet, perfectly smooth and there is no smoke so I am assuming it was rebuilt at that time.
Need to sort out some wiring issues to the head lights and brake light as they do not work. will continue to tinker clean over winter so I am ready for clean spring roads.
Stovebolt.com is a great find with many helpful folks, thanks for all the fun correspondence!
