EastBay521 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 so you got a new truck and don't do anything with it???? :confused: 1 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Took it out today, got stuck in 3rd gear, so kinda got in the way on green lights, will replace transmission if work allows me tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 looks like a new dash is required as someone butchered it for a new radio. other than that it just needs a good clean up and maybe lowering. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 YOu going to keep this stock? maybe just lower it. I would keep this one stock. Getr more money later if you want to sell it 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Took it out today, got stuck in 3rd gear, so kinda got in the way on green lights, will replace transmission if work allows me tomorrow Is it still stuck in gear if so try rocking the truck back and forth to free it,that was common in VW's before and then drop the gear oil and put new oil in and work it throughout he gears.

datson4life Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yea i plan to keep this stock and a little lower, i have another dash for it but a stereo i put hides the damages for now. Tanker i tried everything, its pretty stuck in 3rd , and the tranemissions is really loose, and hard to find gears, im just gonna swap the transmission, i know tge one it has is dry, looks like it leaked quite a bit and the fill plug is virgin 1 Quote Link to comment

Eomund Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Soooooo not fair how clean it is lol. Are those chrome inside handles stock? I've only seen plastic ones (which is what I have). How's cancer on it? Looks shockingly good in that fact. Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Floor boards are pristine, does have dings here and there tho, idk if the chrome handles are stock Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Very minor rust here and there Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Oh and they cut holes for speakers on door :-( Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Chrome door handles were used on 520 trucks, but I am not sure of the years. I think 520 trucks also have a clock spring counterbalance on the window regulator. Quote Link to comment
