The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk So, onto the parts buying......

Well, the only thing I THINK(not sure there) the engine needs to run is some adjustments in the timing and I'm sure since when I checked tdc with a screwdriver it came out with stuff on it the engine needs clean out. The break lines definitely need replaced as they had rusted on and when I was under the truck and I bumped them with my hand they snapped. So, I know I need lines. Master cyliner is good, since I got the fittings loosened up and it is slowly starting to leak fluid out of the loose connection. Now, I need to be able to get the drum covers off because I tried it and they won't come off. Someone told me but I need some detailed directions(I'm easily confused as I over think!) Now, when the truck runs and stops I could drive it, but only around the yard. The holes in the floorboard are too big to do anything with, seeing as how the cover to the battery box and the battery box are gone(the battery box is now mounted on the fire wall. So, once the engine runs, when I have gotten the breaks fixed, and the holes are plugged my truck SHOULD be mechanically safe to drive everyday and the electrical aspect is still kind of fuzzy as to the condition.
