3/8 NPT let's give it a go!!

 

I assume you will be de-burring that as well?

 

Yes all cleaned and ready for 66 more years for next rebuild.

 

Now for confession of a dumb ***. Truck started run full out?? What the hell did I do....well as ya can plainly see in my eagerness to drive after working on since last August I installed the carburetor linkage inverted which means footpedal brother!! Yes sir step on the gas pedal the truck slows you let off the gas pedal she shoots like a rocket....DUMB ***!


Oops

 

So RMP...... Did you get it running after your little hiccup?

Don't feel bad I replaced a thermostat & got distracted
& put the old one back in (twice).

Looking good over there in PA!

Yes runs! Test drive is in one hour!!! After work

 

Got the truck out for fathers day car show!!! Steering sort of all over the place above 25 mph.. And I've heard some talk about prebending new springs...Um ok note to self (Was unaware of that part me and the boy just put our new springs on from Mac right out of the box) so need to start asking the dumb questions. What if we didn't do that? Where can it be done? Can it wait to winter to come back apart?

 

On our way home we passed a car lot with these two on it

 

I wonder how mch they were in a car lot.

 

Hey RMP
Your's is cooler than those for sale trucks...it has a smiling happy future driver
in it & you have one of those cool visors!

Looking good over there in Pennsylvania!

Good to see you back on the road.

 

Thanks and Yes Vaughns, is really excited to be driving our ORD minor item F is missing on front. Two open items steering is really slack so keeping it at 20-25 mph and I need to find out if I needed to prebend the leaf springs. (Unsure)

 

I've not heard of pre-bending leaf springs. I put mine directly on the truck with no issues.

 

I also have never heard of pre-bending leaf springs.
