Looking for some help in the Raleigh area...Bought this 68 about 2 months ago from a guy in Charlotte area. The truck basically was done by someone else (no idea who), neither does the PO....Heres the issues that i need some technical help with..
1)Brakes/would like to convert to disc in front, its on a dana 30 axle currently. The drums currently on are REAL weak..ive bled the system and still not sure if tweaking the drums or doing the conversion is the way to go?
2) Lowering (possible removal of 3" body lift) still has 4" duff suspension kit on it and the truck currently sits on 35's...once lowered i would like to put 33's which i have available, onto this truck. Truck is manual steering and is quite treacherous to drive. I can manage the steering part, but when driving on a 2 lane road and when oncoming traffic approaches, it can make you cringe!!! Any input if this would help?
3) Truck will crank and crank, but only fire up when using starter fluid...once its started it will run fine...until truck is turned off, then same deal with the starting procedure (ether)..Truck did sit for about a year with minimal use
4) Gas tank/fuel lines...I believe that the truck has the original tank on it...is it best to flush out? or replace?
5) wipers are vacuum...and they suck! would like to convert over to electric
ANY HELP or input, or recommendations based on this list would be greatly appreciated!:xyxthumbs:
