flushing fluids, hitting all the zircs,new carb,new heater,block heater, and taking it for small 1 or 2 mile drives looking for problems. i need to repack all the wheel bearings (ugh) and bleed the brakes |

the trans tunnel is butchered
and in keeping with the family tradition of being lazy slobs when it comes to sheet metal i covered the massive hole with gorilla tape i had to do something to keep water out of the tranny as soon as i can afford it i am buying 5 gallon bucket of gear oil and one of those good pumps and i will keep draining and filling until it comes out clean i got water in the t-case as well as the tranny the rear leaks some but the front is good i am swapping oil in the t-case again today painted my bumper flat black yesterday soon i will drive it around to get everything warm then spray all the oily stuff underneath with cheapo oven cleaner then wear old clothes and take it to the car wash |

My spinal arthritis keeps me from being able to get under the truck and pull the transfer case etc to replace seals and such
I have done it before but this dang disease don't get better as time goes by. I am going to have to (gasp) pay someone to do work that I was perfectly capable of doing ten years ago I want to install 481 gears so that it will be a little faster. I have enough torque and power thanks to the 318 I will never use the first gear as it is now It's not like I am going to take this antique rock crawling. But I do want a dual master cylinder and maybe a booster. Just trying to make it more drivable Good thing I don't live in a real city anymore! have to stop the leaks before I think about fixing the e-brake. The clean drum would just get oil soaked again My problem is. I love tinkering on these things. But some of it is too physically demanding. One of my hot-rodder pals is sending me a spotlight to replace the missing one Right now I am waiting for the seals so I can repack the wheel bearings Already did brakes,electric,heater,tires Flushed all fluids,adjusted steering,greased all zircs Oh yeah drained flushed gas tank and installed new carburetor. |
