Got carb rebuilt, new fuel pump installed (used one for a 75 chevy, had to redo the lines since larger line size than 63), master install finished and brakes back together and bled. Had to get creative on the rear shoes since could not come up with the exact adjuster that broke. Ended up welding the tab back on the short end after I soaked everything and got all the rust removed so it would function. Had to clean out all the bleeders since grime had plugged them all. Great pedal now and stock stop power, lol...also known as don't drive too fast. Had a fuel to carb issue, figured out the tank in the cab can't get fuel out of it so must be plugged. There is a homemade tank under the bed hooked up to a switcher and it's own gauge, got fuel out of that one and finally got it to run although a bit rough since fuel is a good 10 years old. Got it off the trailer and took it for a drive before storing it for winter. Forgot what having loooow gears was like, can pretty much take off in 3rd, lol. Be willing to be top speed is around 55 mph, I've drove old grain trucks with taller gears. I can't even imagine Raphael driving this to the top of Alberta from Medford, Or and back...had to take days! That is probably why there is around 110k miles on the truck, lol.
