One time when I had to tow the truck home, I was driving it with no power. Fluid was everywhere under the hood when I got home. If I had the bracket for the sag pump and the pump and hoses, I'd do it.

 

Look in the econolines. I see them all the time. Mostly 351W and straight 6. They are set up for a serpentine belt. Should not be very hard to switch over to a v belt using your existing pulley.

 

If there was only a normal junk yard around here.

 

I've never had our PS pump spray everywhere before. That's with a v belt system and a 351W. Granted, it leaks quickly now due to a leaky hose from a mouse chewing through it, but that's different.

 

Replaced the missing license plate lights and started installing the fender clearance lights.

 

The C2 pumps always mark their territory if you turn the wheels with the engine off.
I don't think any amount of bleeding will keep them from whining against the stops.
Seems to be a feature.
Saginaw pumps hhave a larger diameter shaft.
You need a pulley from a v-belt van.
Easier to find the whole setup from one with a carburetor.

 

Good luck finding one in the JY with a carburetor. Most of them are still on the road here.

 

Hardly anything left up here in the land of ice and salt.
Most all the yards cleared out to China when scrap was high before the tarriffs

 

Every time I go somewhere I see old vehicles on the roads or in peoples driveways. Usually in decent shape. I don't see rusted out cab corners or fender wells too often here. If I do, they usually came from somewhere else.

 

I didn't do anything to the truck, but I moved the parts in the garage. Does that count? I have the trans and driveline still in the garage. I'm trying to make some space.

 

Went to the pick a part and bought a spare tire carrier for the dually.

 

I need a spare tire carrier, along with a spare tire.

 

I should fab up an in-bed one that locks. I want to do the 38gL rear tank.

 

Looks like my truck never came with a spare tire. No evidence of one ever being there.

 

I'll bet there was at one time. Lot of people just put the spare in the bed. The bigger wheels that came on the F250 and F350s are heavy and a pain in the butt to swap with the under bed carrier. Especially if it's raining or other crappy weather.
