Janksun Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Does a 75 not have torsion bars?? I want to lower this thing... Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Overheated! Where is the truck? can't see one in the pic. It should have torsion bars Quote Link to comment
Janksun Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well if I can't find the torsion bars then I should obviously not be messing with suspension lol. Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 The torsion bars go from the lower control arms towards the rear of truck and near the end of the transmission is a crossmember that the bars are mounted to. This is the end where they are adjusted. Use search to read posts on how to do it Quote Link to comment
Janksun Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ahhhh! Got it. I was looking toward the front of the truck..... Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Janksun Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 So new radiator, thermostat water pump an fan clutch do the trick! No more overheating issues! Went to my first ratsun meet tonight and met a bunch of great people and looked at a lot of nice cars. I was the only one who brought a truck although there were a couple truck owners. Lots of z cars there and a few 510's. 2 Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Neat truck! If it were properly done camo I would leave it and rock it Army style, but the cheap redneck leaf job would have to go! 1 Quote Link to comment
