Ranman72 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 took the car to the datsun club meeting and made there and back with no issues RANDY 6 MARVIN 4 :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: when we got home I adjusted the hood latch and found that the end of the hood latch cable was hitting the hood release and keeping it slightly open so the hood would pop open every time we drove it, I think it is fixed now I also think the brakes still have a slight issue because the pedal still rises as you drive it, the brakes just dont bind up now so I looked at the push rod for the master cylinder and it seemed to be to tight so I ground the end a little thinner and it seems as though the pedal does not rise now sorry no pics 1 Quote Link to comment

510T Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Work wheels look awesome on there, and so does the trailer! Keep up the winning streak Randy. :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunrides Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Just some inspiration. I also added a hitch to my roadster to tow a small trailer. Just a universal 2" tube receiver I got from etrailer.com. Had to shorten it a bit and drill new holes, but it fit pretty good. You do have to notch the lip on the frame a bit and add some 1/4" spacers for a snug fit. Only have to remove the bumper to install. Mark 2 Quote Link to comment

Mark I am planning something similar , but planned on welding the receiver and plate directly to the frame your install looks very clean and mine should look very much the same the top of my hitch when installed will be just behind the rear bumper Quote Link to comment

Dolomite Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Marvin's looking good with the new cover. How did you manage to break a damn f350? I thought they were bomb proof. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 somehow the bolts inside the rear end backed out and destroyed parts of the internals NO EXPLANATION HOW OR WHY they are tough trucks I tow 10.000 lbs daily and it has 207.000 miles on it I guess it was mad at me 3 Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 dont trust Marvin enough for the 370 plus mile trip to solvang so on the trailer he goes 30 miles to go we will drive him to the show from here 3 Quote Link to comment

Dolomite Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Congrats on the 2nd place, Randy. Maybe Marvin was too much diamond, not enough rough for first. He is coming along nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment
