Default Re: Newbe and it RUNS!

Hey there thanks for the respones. Right after i got the truck i blew my ACL so it has been on the back burner. Now that im moving around better i get back to working on him. Did new plugs, wires, coil, points, condenser, fuel pump and rebuilt carb. Poured atf oil on pistons for a few days and let soak. Hooked up new battery and he fired right up AFTER 27 years. Excited. My radiator is shot so getting a néw aluminum one from champion radiator out of cali for $184. Had to hook up a tire valve to upper rad hose and blow out gunk because it would not take any water. A bunch of old rusty flakes came out and after about 30 gallons of water flushed though it is clear.

Next i pulled the bed off and cleaned the rear frame and axle to get ready to put in under bed tank from LMC.

Has anyone used POR15? Thinking using that while the bed is off to protect it all.
