I drug home this mangy 58 'bout 6 months ago.
I like to tinker when I have the time & I am starting to get excited about getting this one on the road.
What I've done so far.
1. Rear main seal
2. rebuilt brake master cyl.
3. New fuel pump
4. bought "new" rebuilt carb
5. added an ignition switch
6. started the truck
7. bought new spark plugs
8. started the truck again
9. started plugging oil leaks
10. bought new radiator cap to stop the water from boiling out & over heating
11. repaired the brake wiring
12. WD-40'd the drivers window regulator so I could roll down the window.
What I have not done yet
1. fix more oil leaks - the oil filter sucks!
2. Make the brakes safe to use on the road
3. new glass
4. new wipers
5. new wiper motor
6. maybe some heat
7. think about how bad I want high beams
8. add a tailgate
9. buy insurance
I thought I had it today - it was running nice & I was waiting to see if it would get hot. It sprang another leak at the old oil filter. What a pain this thing is. I've ordered the new spin on one. It should be here in a week.
Heck I might even be on the road yet this decade!
