Tinkered with mine with my dad last night and found out all the lights actually work! Interior lights and all! I was amazed

went to get it from my parents, registered it, worked on it a bit, and took it on its first drive in years. made it the 450 miles home like a champ, albeit leaking oil the whole way.

Pulled the driver head.. Realized how much cleaning it needs. Also discovered the truck was also somehow running without exhaust manifold gaskets.

Also discovered a bunch of destroyed lifters and pushrods amongst other things..

Measure the bore.. 4.0 which solves the mystery behind the block type.

I was finally able to replace the passenger side front rubber brake hose, had to remove the rubber fuel lines to the fuel pump to get room to work. Just as well, as the PO had installed a 3/8" hose on the 1/4" fitting. Why don't people use the correct size hoses on stuff ??
And since I re-plumbed the power brake booster with a 3/8" line to replace the 1/4" he had on it, I now have good power brakes again.
Installed the dust cover on the torque converter, very important with the roads I drive on.
When I first turned on the key today after all the work, the windshield wipers moved, I hadn't tested them out yet. It looks like the intermittent switch I installed is going to do the job.
Tested the steering with the new steering box input seal installed, things are coming together now and working as they should on the truck.
I am giving up on trying to degrease the frame and underside, nothing I have here works, and I heard it's illegal for shops to use a steam cleaner now.
So that will have to wait until maybe someday if I decide to do a frame up restoration on it.
New window regulators and window seals should be in friday, so the weekend project will be to take the doors apart and fix those items.
Then I get to tackle installing the fuel switchover solenoid so I can use gas from both tanks. The PO had bypassed the passenger tank, and I'm not sure all the hoses and lines are accounted for under the truck. Wish me luck on that one.

Should a listened to hot rod burnt up my msd plug wire on the header. Luckily I had an extra one made it fit took off ac compressor for now till I put serpentine on so not in the way like it was before..also cleaned up the wire's on the fans some what.

 

[mtnmankev]

Replaced driver's door window regulator and window seals.

 

[foamypirate]

Put new weather strip under the toolbox to keep it from squeaking against the bed, and installed a new door pull strap on the passenger side door panel.

Welded a new tab at the bottom of the pass rear door for the door seal. The damn thing had rusted completely off. I decided not to tackle the rust extending into the rocker as you can see in the pic, there was enough to weld to so I figured it would be fine. I used KBS rust blast over the top then KBS paint over that although I don't have a pic. I'll use a little filler and some sorta-color matched paint to finish things up when I get a chance. Seam sealer will go on tonight though.

Nice work! I need to do that on my passenger side on my 84'. There was barely enough left to get the door seal onto and it seems to be working for now. Mine is into the cab corner and rocker as well.

Ouch, now that sucks. Those are some complex bends. You might be better off cutting a donor or buying the pieces from LMC and cutting/welding what you need. That's what I did with my '80 Camaro, bought a complete half floor and cut out what I needed. Its a royal PITA but it gets the job done!
