Like the heat pump idea. That one was just out of stock where I checked. Back to a previous post. Saw in the Deuce thread where a fella by-passed his air-pac making the brakes manual ( no boost ). Wondered if that would work on mine. Any input ? Not a permanent solution but I figure it...

The pushrod for the mechanical ( lift ) pump is "essentially" the same one GM has used since the very first small block back in '55. The rods, like any part that goes back and forth several times a second CAN fatigue, crack, and eventually break. The odd thing is that even with a broken...

Gehzundheit ! Welcome to the club from Lancaster, PA P.S. Brian S. , Love your avatar although mine is a firefighter I have the same sentiment on my back window.

Not to :deadhorse: but the main reason all six of mine will have them is so that IF I lose a steer tire any of the four on the rear can be substituted with no loss of " safety margin". I don't sell 'em so I am not making a cent. Just such a simple thing to DO to make the truck safer and...

mos68X, this is exactly the unit I was trying to show you before. I apologize on behalf of my stupid Droid. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Soleus-Air-12-000-BTU-Portable-Air-Conditioner-with-Dehumidifier-and-Remote-PSC-12-01/302190887 The 14K is no longer available / sold out. This is 12K...

Don't know how it is on the left coast but I have purchased the glass and mounting from Safe-lite before. They do not HAVE to install it but the love to "upsell" to get the install too. I would think in San Diego there should be many places selling auto glass. But then I have been wrong...

[thumbzup][thumbzup] 98G, hence the opening four letters of my post. My experience of blow-outs in 425 / 80 's with and without set my mind. Everyone else is free to decide for themselves.

Start at the handle and spray penetrant of choice into and on every cable. DO NOT GET SPRAY ON LININGS OR DRUM, obviously. Grease anything that has a Zerk on it ( follow L.O. religiously ). When I picked up mine last year it had just been completely lubed and I still took a turn around her...

IMHO, and I will always say, run-flats should be mandatory on ANY vehicle over 10,000 lb. GVW. Losing a steer tire at highway speed is scary in a passenger car. It's an absolute NIGHTMARE in a larger vehicle. One that is towing is yet another level of terror. Europe used to require them in...

Agree completely with 74M35A2. Having no money to speak of myself I totally respect anyone willing to work on these monsters in the "driveway". To me that is the difference between a MECHANIC and a repair technician.

Hey y'all. Nothing too exciting this week. Put a window air conditioner in where the non-opening window belongs on a rear door. Went pretty easily, 3 pieces of 2 x 4 and a couple 2 1/2" screws. Of course it also required a power source. The orange Home improvement store had one for a very...

Is the threaded end intact or sheared off. At first glance it looks like the parking brake adjuster bolt.

Very nice pics. Great to see ( and i DEFINITELY agree ) National treasures at such events. Love the Command car !

Hi ! This is exactly what is happening with my M820 except that my brakes DO work when bled. I was confused because an entire m/c full of fluid disappeared while it was sitting for a year and no signs of any leaks at w/c s, hoses, lines, anywhere. I asked and was told to change the air-pac...

Welcome to the group from Lancaster, PA ! The mid-80's 3 color camo is what's on my truck.

Yep, I'm back ( you poor souls ). The last year has been the worst yet become the best. Finally getting back on my feet and feeling alive again. Of course my first venture back into the truck went badly but I was fortunate the damage was minor. I am excited to be back although not thrilled...

Yup, wut he said.

Oh, trust ! This beast ain't rollin anywhere until this mystery is WELL solved. The air-pac makes sense so that and an m/c are on the list. Thanks again.

Thanks 98G ! Things just weren't making sense. I presume the PAC will continue to make boost until it's "full" of fluid ?

This is the first I've seen this thread. Super COOL ! Despite all that has happened in the last year I am holding tight to my dream. I too bought mine from Eastern Surplus. Amazing company to work with. I would never have considered buying a truck like this from a private owner unless their...
