HOGIE Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Really the only parts that will be challenging will be electrics and exhaust. Someone told me they where going to come help with the electrics, cough :poke: , and its going on a trailer to get a VIN inspection and then a trip to work and the lift to do exhaust next week 2 Quote Link to comment

raggmann Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I have a relatively unmolested dash harness if you need HOGIE Not sure what it'd cost to get down to you from Canada but it's an option 2 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 and whos been spreading rumors????? Rhino?! I only speak the truth, we could've started the truck that day if we really wanted to... Just not with the harness haha 3 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I spent all day working on the truck Dropped out the crossmember and got the correct oil pan installed, installed the intake and exhaust manifolds. Then Al stopped by and we got the driveshaft and a bunch of the little stuff taken care of; alternator, fuel pump, water pump, oil pressure sensor, timing inspection plate and fuel and coolant hard lines on the block. Thanks Al for your help and thanks for bringing me the heater core. Things definilty move a lot faster with four hands rather than two. After Al left I kept going and pulled out the fuel tank brackets. Was planning to get the fuel tank, fuel lines and filler tube but lost light so had to clean up for the night. Now it's time to make my next shopping list. Topping the list are all rubber hydrolic lines( 4 brakes and 1 clutch), clutch hard line, brake master cylinder, also other small things like coolant, rubber coolant hose, and fuel line for filler tube. Tomorrow will be fuel tank, electric and windshield and radiator/heater plus all coolant lines. Yes I didn't take any oics 3 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I spent all day working on the truck Yes I didn't take any oics Ya know I cant do anything without takin OIC's ................................................ Cuz Ratsun ! And this is the weirdest thing I ever found under a 521 fuel door ! :poop: And we would of had the cooling system finished if we had the hardware for the radiator and fan blade . Tomorrow this green Dragon will roar ! 4 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I've been laughing about that plug in since I got the truck I pulled that out tonight before I cleaned up 1 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Late start but got a few things done today. Al, the man, came over again to lend a hand. Fuel lines, radiator, fuel tank, most of the coolant lines ;), spark plugs and coil.... Pretty close to starting 2 Quote Link to comment

HOGIE Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Here is a update oic for you oic whores A can of PB Blaster and some patience and I was able to get the heater box broken down. Only one screw left in it, the vent cable screw head was almost completely stripped when it got to me so I'm being very patient with this one. Next will be tuning up the fan motor, cleaning up the box, and flushing the core, then put it back together and install. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I need to do that. Been avoiding it for a long time. Scared it will never be whole again. 1 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I need to do that. Been avoiding it for a long time. Scared it will never be whole again. I hit the screws and fan nut with PB repeatedly for two days before I even tried them out. Resistor, fan, and rubber vent tube all want to fall apart. If it worked I wouldn't even have fucked with it but the fan doesn't spin freely so I need to give it love and everything had to come apart to get at it. Taking the fan off its post was pretty sketchy and the bolts that hold the motor in place Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Be nice if a guy could find something that'd work for the rubber vent 1 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Be nice if a guy could find something that'd work for the rubber vent Me and another guy for here have been talking about how to reproduce these and he's got a plan but we can't count the chickens just yet. If and when it gets made I'll definitely be posting about it. It will probably show up in another thread too 2 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I wanted to get this truck road worthy by this weekend but it's not going to happen. Ordered brake parts that won't be here until next week. I think the engine will be starting this weekend but it won't be road worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guess you will just have to drive the 620 Sunday . 3 Quote Link to comment

It's not lack of effort, but poor planning. I though I would be able to get the parts through asp but they didn't even have a couple of them listed so it had to be rockauto. I had the money the whole time too. Because I have to wait for these parts I'm holding off on taking it in to get registered/titled, I hope that doesn't turn into a headache, and to do the exhaust. If all goes according to plan I should be ready by the weekend after next if not sooner 1 Quote Link to comment
