Where did you buy your replacement cab mounts from. If you got the one piece ones from LMC you may want to stiffen them up as they tend to break. The ones from Dennis Carpenter are harder to install but are factory replacements are they work.

I actually got 1 from motorcity high performance. Ebay item. Ships out of michigan. Got the correct hood side emblems. Oil breather cap. Radiator cap. And that new brace. Hopefully it fits up well.

Truck is a flat yellow primer color. Tranny fluid was dark. Jelly. Sludge in the bottom of the pan. Screen was clean. Vaccum was good. Changed everything. Tighten the linkage so i could bolt the link mount.
It was hard to get it into park/nuetral when i pushed it out of the garage and warmed it up for fluid.lvl check.

Theres wiggle in my carrier brackett. For $15 ill deff look into that. Motor sounded good tonight. Hopefully i can run it around the block.before it gets too.late. shes loud and i dont wanna wake the nieghbors. It is friday though. Buddy said it sounds like a harley when i pull up idealing at his house. Lol
Also i flushed my radiator. It was grose as well. I need to add some water to it though.

Also with my ebay items i got a filler neck gromet. Ive already replaced the gas cap with an autozone locking black one...chrome would have been better.
Replacing the hose in the cab to the gas tank as well. Ive got gas smell. Sure its coming from my carb. Wet by the accelerator pump. Gonna tackle that tomorrow hopefully.
Or in 4hrs or so. Test run. Maybe go get 4 more lug nutz.

That color is rad. The lighter the color the more imperfections it will hide in the paint. Bumps and dings but not mud.

4x4 in a 2wd longbed!!!!! Lol.
Im sure one day in its life with me it will see dirt or a lil mud

Fixed my gas leak yesterday i think. Just had to tighten some carb bolts. Swaped out a lil gasket plunger piece for my accelerator pump as well.

Drove it to buddies house(5pm) and mcdonalds(7pm) prob 5min from me. Came back out with food and she sounded dead. I sat there and turned the starter for a minute. Finally. As i was waking the lady up to.come get me. It fired.
Guess i need to check my battery and charging system still.
Didnt have time to get my lugs yesterday. Maybe today if i have the $. Lol.

Maybe ill get that carrier brackett today too. Ive nvr torn a driveline out before. Should be intresting and fun.
Battery is at 74%. Was 94% cpl days ago i think or so. Ive left it hooked up as well.

[1guydude]

Really need to do.work on brakes and suspension
Is it supposed to ride like a boat? Thinking new bushings, air shocks, springs. Alignement maybe? Not by me.
I would have already done the brakes if i could get someone to help me pump em. Maybe ill ask my brother to help.me.

Putting new radius arm bushings in will make it ride a lot better. They are on the arms that connect to your front axle. The bushing goes where they connect to the frame.

[1guydude]

New radius arm bushings were a bust. Lol. As was the carrier. Niether the auto part store worker or i knew what i needed so ill have to take em all off and go in or go to another auto.store where i know they know more than me.
Also the carrier.piece comes in diffrent sizes
I did get new lugs and a rust remover. Gonna soak paper towels and lay em on my rust spots over nights. Than rinse em. Gonna press em into my bed.
Not much might be left in the morning when i do that .
Charged my battery today to 100%
Pulled the neg cable off and she still ran so i.must be doing something right.
Thanks
