Hey Tuko,
Don't tick off the Boss-that's the fastest way to grind down to a halt! That's an impressive list of work for such a short time-I've not had any available time to work on mine, just pulling it in and out of the garage when it's time to display the flag....

Don't forget the little things, like the vents on the transmission, T-case and axles. A clogged vent will allow pressure to build as the lube heats up and it will relieve itself by blowing out seals.

[Tuko]

will add that to the list!

[Sal]

Warren. Where's the vent on the transmission ? I got the ones on the axles, transfer case and steering box. But I didn't see any on the tranny !

[WarrenD]

You could be right, Sal. It's been more than a few days since I replaced all my driveline vents and my memory doesn't go much farther back than today's breakfast!!

Early models had the ignition filter ( to prevent radio interference ) on the firewall. It was moved inside the distributor on later models.

[Tuko]

mine must have been modified. sits there but not hooked up. She got a new front leaf spring pack today, old one was sagging. waiting on parking brake band. should be here monday from MWM.

[Tuko]

I'm sure many of the members on the site can look at this pic and have it bring back som memories of your restorations!

[majorhitt]

You are so right! In this photo I don't see the ignition filter on the fire wall, did you take it off already ?

[Tuko]

yes, it was bypassed when I got it.

[Tuko]

got the front of the truck put back together will be waiting for the spring to work on the bed, rims etc

[T. Highway]

Looking good Tuko.
