    Front yoke hitting crossmember

    Everything on the truck is original in that respect. That crossmember had been on that truck since I bought it in 1997. Four wheel has never been an issue before now. Like Bucket said, it could be on backwards so I will check that out

    Front yoke hitting crossmember

    I'll have a look at it today. I never noticed that recess in the cross member when I was reinstalling it

    Front yoke hitting crossmember

    Maybe I put it on backwards? There was one fixed hole for the mount and one slotted hole. I have the fixed hole on the drives side. When I reinstalled it, it looked like there was only one way it could go. I'll have a close look at it today. Thanks for the advice

    Front yoke hitting crossmember

    Hello, I just pulled my transmission and transfer case and replaced the seals. Sm465 and np205. My front yoke is now hitting the transmission crossmember when I engage 4x4. I did replace the transmission mounts with new ones from LMC. Has anyone else experienced this? How much clearance should I...

    Installing freshly painted bed

    I bought my bolt kit from LMC. One thing I found out when I went to install my newer bed to my old 78' was that it was bolted down differently. The front four bolts on a 78' bed are closer together than on the newer beds I had to drill 2 new holes in the frame in order to bolt down the newer...

    Fuel Tank Replacement Seals / Rubber Parts

    When I removed the tanks off my 78, the strips were not rubber. They were a thick tar paper. These were definately original. I replaced mine with thick tar paper as well. Find a roll of 4" wide in a local hardware store

    Is the water pump toast?

    Just went to change the transmission fluid in the sm465. 3 or 4 drops came out. There were many things I neglected on this truck when I drove it for a few years in my 20's. It's been sitting on my parents farm for the last 20 years and my dad used it to pull things around a couple times a year

    Is the water pump toast?

    Not new. I just threw some paint on it. It is probably well over 20 years old. I can't remember changing it since I got the truck in 1998

    Is the water pump toast?

    Just putting my truck back together after a couple years. Started filling with coolant and started getting a leak through a small hole on the bottom of the water pump. Just want to know if the pump has to be replaced. I'll attach a picture. I was thinking maybe something is dried out and will...

    Neutral safety switch

    Thank you. That should help out a bunch. Great exploded view. Putting this interior back together has been a challenge. I've put things together only to find out I needed to do something else first. FYI, the brake and clutch pedal need to be installed before you install the the steering column

    Neutral safety switch

    I'll check it out. See if anything rings a bell. I had it in a bag labeled steering column. I should have labeled everything much better.

    Neutral safety switch

    Does anyone have a picture of where the neutral safety switch is mounted? I took mine off 2 years ago and cannot remember where it goes. I am just putting my 78 back together now. It is a standard transmission. I don't think the autos would have one

    Preventing rusting paint

    Not sure what to do about the rust you already have, but if you want to prevent rusting of the bottoms of your doors and rocker panels you should spray some rust preventing spray like waxoil. Fluid film is another good one. Spay this waxy oily mixture into all the cavities and it will prevent...

    I need to add a fuel door....

    I got a really good deal on the bedsides if you were wondering why I would buy without holes. One side I couldn't find with a hole any way. Can't remember which side it was

    I need to add a fuel door....

    I bought two new box sides without fuel holes(my truck is a 78). The truck is dual tank so I needed to do 2 holes. I cut two out at a wrecker and glued them in with 3M panel bond adhesive. I used a flanging tool to make a recess in the box side, then glued the new few holes in the recess. I...

    Body panels in canada!

    Where in Canada are you? I'm in Edmonton and I have a couple of different places I buy from. AMP body panels or Caps paint supply. They all get the panels from the same places. For interior stuff, I haven't found anything. I've had to order from the states. If you make a big enough order through...

    White spots?

    Either you wait till the clear is totally shot and the weather starts to cause rust where you just have base coat, or you fix it. I've had lots of vehicles come into the shop like this. If you're really careful you can take a razor blade and shave the clear right off leaving just the base coat...

    Paint help

    The dot looks like it is right on the front corner. You could take some tape and roll the edge up along the top edge of the hood so you don't get an edge at all and mask of the rest of the hood and kind of blend in your base. Turn the pattern down and turn in the fluid needle. Test it out on...

    Heat shield?

    In the picture I have circled what I think is a heat shield. It is a picture of my 78' cab tipped over onto it's back. I have looked on my 85' and the piece is there as well. It doesn't appear to be doing anything on my 85'. The 85' has headers and I was thinking on stock exhaust manifolds they...

    Paint Removal Suggestions

    I am restoring my truck right now. It does not have a crappy paint job, but has enamel over lacquer paint with a primer sealer in between. I am using 80 grit sandpaper on a dual action sander. Once I have most of the paint down to bare metal I switch to a 120 grit on the dual action sander and...

    What color is it?

    That's the same color scheme as my truck, and I'd say they silver is a perfect match. I found a ppg paint chip sheet from 78 that looks like my color with the proper code. I wonder if different plants used different paint suppliers so you could have different colors of the same year with the...
