Time to bring her back to life
It's time to get back to work on the truck. She's been down for some time because of a rotted-out gas tank and other piddly stuff.
Last summer I got the torn-off accelerator pedal out, shortened, and re-installed, I'm not real happy with the results and would really like to replace with new.
During that episode, the throttle cable retainer flew the coop, I need to replace that, now, and make sure the throttle cable is free.
I just ordered a new fuel level sending unit and gasket from Memphis Equipment along with a new filler hose (OUCH!!).
I've got a new dual-circuit master cylinder on-hand, I need to split the system and make it work. I'm still wondering if I want to split front-to rear (most likely) or split diagonally like some German stuff is...
I need a new top, the old one is hiss-tow-reee.
Either my son or the neighbor kids or a combination of both was going through my stuff and left one of my cargo cover steel bows out, I munched it with the mower, need one of those and to rebuild the whole rack set. I've had old repurposed barn wood (red oak) planed and routed too size, now to cut/drill and (this is gonna hurt!) paint that beautiful wood.
Check fluids, bleed brakes, set tire pressure, look into that rod knock to see if I want to run it till it drops or swap in my spare engine now...
Gonna be a tough and expensive summer.
