help with basic problems

[197thhhc]

We need detailed pics of the power steering from the column to the pump, hoses close ups of the steering box. All that stuff. Sounds like you got a good one.

I do use the petcocks to drain my final filters, I hook a rubber hose to them and run it down to a can. I run oil mix so doing this is less messy, loosen the bolt on top and then open the petcock to drain, then remove....lot less mess.

That only works if there isn't a ton of crud in the bottom of the cans!

That's true gimpy, I didn't think of that cause I change mine often so not to have problems.

Nice deuce. Gotta love them 1600's ...Awaiting power steering pics and info..

Gimpyrob, i'm afraid to push the button. (what does DSPO stand for) thats a new one to me

Thanks.... I fell in love with the 53''s . i see people do the 47''s and they just look to thin. the 53''s got the width to back them up.

someone did a lot of work to this beast

DSPO= dumb sh1t previous owner. I'm I will have it said about me and my trucks if I ever sell them. Its nothing (truly) against your dspo, since I have not seen his handy work.

 

[crazywelder72]

ahhh... thats funny

I just went thru some pics when i looked at this truck last year. I have a few pics i added to the album showing more on the hydr steering. I will take more over the weekend.

Ahh, full hydro, figures. Pics of the pump and control valving would still be nice.

 

[dozer1]

Yep full hydro and well I was assuming it was a bobber with the 16.00's. Not the case. I bet that is a bunch of work to get a deuce to accomodate those.

I'm thinking he must have done some suspension work to the rear dogbones and springs to fit the 53's. Would be nice to see pics of that.

 

[rattlecan6104]

I would love to see pics of the rear suspension, that looks like it would be an awesome project to fit 53's on the rear!

 

[crazywelder72]

as soon as i can grab the pics i will.

the hydro pump is located next to the air pump but below. I'm not a fan of the bobbed ones, it kills me to see when people do that.

a lot of work is a understatement. they relocated the rear axle further back, 6" or 8" lift, reached the springs, stretched the "dog-bones", lengthen drive shafts. thats about all i know of the top of my head.

Sounds like what it would take, wonder where he got the longer leaves for the springs.

 

[crazywelder72]

no idea. i just put up some more pics of the suspension. check them out.

the person i bought this from didnt do the lift, neither did the person before him.

I have been following this truck for quite sometime. it was love at first sight.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Welcome to the OD sickness, you come for answers and end up getting questions!

 

[crazywelder72]

iits kind of funny but it just goes to show how awesome this message board is and the folks that use it.

maybe i should sneak a pic in the album of my bike, just to mix it up a bit. lol

From some of the rear suspension pics it looks like the dog bones rubber grommets are shot. It could just be the angle or me but check them out and make shure they are in good shape.

Nice looking truck, off road only?
