jon521 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 dammnnn looks straight! That thing is clean! you should get some of the engine bay and of the interior. it looks a wee bit lowered already Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 make sure all electrical works!!!!!!!!! I would just buff it out and lower it. call it good. upgrade one thing at a time when you get money Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 That's a good looking little truck! I agree though. Oics of the interior and engine bay. And on the point of DD'ing it, I've been dailying ours 60 miles a day to and from work for the past few weeks again. My only occasional complaint is my back getting stiff while sitting in traffic with the bench seat, but otherwise I love driving it all the time. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Real nice truck man! Maybe some floorboard picture too? You need some rear bumbers on this thing though. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 looks great man. nice find. i daily drive mine close to 60 miles a day. just stay on top of everything and it won't let you down. hell i even drove it to canby and back from SF without a single problem. Quote Link to comment
Miler Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I've been daily driving the old girl for a week after my NH antique plates arrived in the mail. So far no problems other then the odometer registers more miles then actually traveled, and if anyone has some side mirrors and bumperetts for sale they would be much appreciated.

banzai510(hainz) Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Im trying to figure out what dizzy you have and the wiring you got going on but if it works just leave it along. Most times if the Stock Point coil is in there you should still have the ballast resisitor in there which looks correct. Just figureing out the 2 wires commiong from the dizzy. if this is a Matchbox or a remote or a Pertronix. Most take the +side of the matchbox/pertronix and hook it up to the +side of ballast resisitor. Cause youll really have lass voltage at the + side coil as it comes off the other side of the ballast reisitor. meaning about 6 volts of so. I would buy spare brake and cluch master cylinders and Slave cylinders as spares as youll need them and dont have to wait for parts. get them now. grease the Kingpins and the drive shafts ,and ck the oil in trans Do it now. Buy this, these work http://www.equus.com...Battery-Monitor Im glad this truck is back on the road. and the 16yr old kid doesnt have it!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 im glad its back on the road. I alwasys wondered what happen to it. before jeff had it it was a 16 year old kids dream truck(meaning he cound fix shit/no money and was left to rot) I would grease the Kingpins and the drive shaft. youll see the grease fitting on the drive shaft and the Kingpins for the front. buy this also so you can monitor the battery Quote Link to comment
Miler Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks! I'll take some more photos of under the hood when im back home. I'll start gathering parts as well, if you know any good sources that would be great. Quote Link to comment
