Just got done fixing this same issue by adjusting all brakes. The hardest part is jacking up each axle and taking the wheels off.

^^^ I think two seatbelts on a standard bench seat will work out fine for me. My children are still pretty small. Apparently I do have a standard box drivers seat moved to the passenger side. For now, they can both fit in that single seat together so I figured a small bench would make them...

Its just a small box type seat that flips up so you can store things inside of it. I'll get a pic of it during the daylight. Only thing is that the drivers seat next to it is a spring ride seat with the seating cushion in terrible condition - nothing left but foam. I'm almost embarassed...

When I got my truck it had a rotted J-pipe. Guess what my first realization was when I started the truck after a rain? At least I see I'm in good company.

^^^ The passenger seat has a belt but the seat is smaller than the drivers seat. Once I find one of the bench seats, thats what I will do too!

I'll start looking for a passenger bench seat. Mine is definitely too small for two individual belts.

Saw a pretty cool truck on Fleabay today - it had a passenger bench seat with two sets of seatbelts. It looked military and like it belonged in the truck. Are these common enough to have a chance of finding them? I'd really like to take my two small children with me on rides and not have...

^^^ Yeah I guess I suck, don't love or deserve the truck, and should prolly have it taken away from me. Anyhoo, while I like fixing things - I generaly don't fix anything fragile without breaking something in the process. Its just my long standing relationship and experience working with -...

^^^ Whats all that white crap everywhere??? :neutral:

Great idea and for some reason I find it entertaining. I wonder if there is a better vantage point to catch the drive shafts and both rear axles articulating over rough terrain?

Decided to JB Weld mine. Turned out it was a (very) small crack in the front just below where the two halves of the top tank join. I brushed the area clean and scuffed it up, applied the epoxy, and let it dry. Finally I hit it with a light coat of engine enamel. The repair is invisible...

I'm not scared. SO - the nuts that run the circumference of the drum (1 of them holds the inspection plate) are really all that secure the drum to the hub? I really don't need to check my gear oil. I figure when it stops dripping out of the differential onto the ground its probably time to...

Got the last set of wheels broken loose by a tire man with a 1" impact - even the tire guy had to hammer on the wheel for a while to loosen it up. I adjusted the final wheel and I have a high pedal that throws you into the windshield if you mash it down. I put the wheels back on my truck...

You jinxed me! I just read this thread last night and sure enough today I notice MY radiator is leaking in the same spot! :)

^^^ Well - okay but only if you promise to call me if you need a tow. :D

^^^ Ive been thinkin. If I ever need a wrecker in the South Houston area, whats the cheapest way to go? I cruise my Duece all around the area and sooner or later its bound to give me the finger.

Update: 5 out of 6 wheels - adjustment completed. Just when I was getting good at it, the last three lug nuts wouldn't come off! aua I'm going to have a tire shop loosen them for me or get a big azz breaker bar (which might be handy to have in the truck if I get a flat). On 1 of the 5...

Whoever it is can stash it at my place until they can make repairs or ?

^^^ in case anyone needs to know in the future, they are 1 1/8"

What is the jamnut size for the major adjustment cams on the bottom?
