What is the problem with the bad cylinder? Can the cylinder be repaired opposed to engine replacement?

Welcome from Missouri! Great Idea to first get to know, get familiar with truck before going on a trip into unknown territory. Maintenance goes a long way, simple things can strand you easy. Good wheeling, camping.
I know what you mean. I also do most, I have one more 13.9 28 to do on my Ford NAA Tractor, but will have to wait till next summer when the rubber is easier to get on with the "spoons". And those are easier to do than the real tires. TRUCKS
You know I kind of miss the old split rims, which...
Wow open diffs around here in great condition , 250.00 all day long. I hope an open diff where you are at is not 800.00 bucks.
The Corp 14 has too be hands down the best pickup rear ever. The units still in service and used for dirt tracks are just great. With the Dana 60 and 70 close behind...
Pull dip stick look in sunlight or flashlight and look for glitter, smell of burnt fluid. If you see metal next step R AND R. But as been said that since there is no vacuum source then cable adjustment, or has fallen off at contact points. Although it is possible the governor does stick, springs...
They most certainly Ride a lot better with weight on the truck.

Welcome from Missouri, and congrats on your purchase. If you are mechanically inclined and have some disposable income and time then you can get to some compromises as the square body is a Great truck to own and easily maintained. Also the Chevrolet has the capacity to use parts from 40 plus...
Very nice, I really like the look of the 151. The horizontal grill, wider, longer, looks more stable off road. Maybe it is what I always seen on the installation that the MP's were wheeling in, Jefferson Barracks, Viet Nam timeframe. They would call them Kaisers.
I really like the tires on your...
I have such an affliction with having to vote for just one when every candidate has the Attitude of being MV of the Month. And that the Equipment is Never static but being used at what they were designed for.
155mm's Tanker Truck combination is FEET LONG!
How was the inside of the fuel pump on disassembly? Looks really great all clean, rebuilt and ready for install. The baked on dirt, oil, grease, gasoline is like a type of finish all its own. With old carburetor, fuel pump nos kits I use a little talc or baby powder on gaskets meeting surface...

You know rusty I typed that all out and thought with dot 5 how could there be rust and canceled. But then You reminded me of the Human Factor. I think now I would pull the master cylinder and replace, period. Could be sucking water in caps or seals.
If these are like leaf spring u bolts are some what like I have mine made at St. Louis Spring, made to any measurement I give them or they may even have the specs on hand.
