I'm stoked for you too, man, cool. I noticed my LDS sounds cooler than the '70 whistler I'm storing too. Do they sell the button clips too?

More pics. My son is growing up fast. Moving a loader bucket, etc. out of the way so I could get the deuce out of the shop. Disassembly of a stuck lug nut.

It's the '62 in my sig. I did notice the LDS has a different sound than the A2. Lower, throatier, I like it.

Long day yesterday, got 'er back on her own six tires and out of the shop. Still only one 11.00 mounted, still have to rebuild the rest of the braking system, and almost everything else. It may get back burnered or back to a yard water truck if I get my hands on the '70 A2.

No, just barely got the brakes and wheel bearings done. Still a long ways to go before being road worthy.

I forgot the Sprag case. That's the only thing major other than the engine. Wiper knobs went from small to large. A1s had hinged rubber mudflaps. A1 beds were u-bolted on in the center bolts instead of using the angle clips. A1s had a stomp button above or in front of the brake pedal connected...

I think a M109"A3" equates to an M35"A2", which would be about right for '68. Looks like an LD 465.

The only big difference was the switch from the A1 LDS-427 engine (which is now rare) to the LD-465 (non turbo) engine. Later they added the turbo = LDT 465. This thread starts out a little confusing but has good A1 info later...

Jeepsinker, I'm trying to get my hands on red's trans, (the guys who's putting in the DT466) which hopefully just needs an input, and may get another from a boneyard a little east of me. I also know of one that's supposed to be a good running takeout north of me in LA, but it's a little far...

My friend Mike, dezertmobber on here I think has a tan one for sale, $5k I think.

Never never never never never never :-)

Pull the center bolt out and run some brakleen in there?

Welcome from down south of you.

Perhaps some strong fuel system cleaner occasionally to keep the plunger clean?

Fished out the bottom plate, drilled and bolted the sandwich back together with a 10-32 screw. It works, but she's still a little slow to start, doesn't start with a bang on the first crank like my others. Found a leak at the primary filter, and haven't changed filters or anything yet.

The guts fell out of the '70 pump. Of course I can't find the last plate in the tank, probably behind the rear baffle. Got the security crews out, swapped pumps from the old '62 one on the right, which has a bad motor. It doesn't pump on the good '70 motor either, so going to have to get...

Thanks. I think the stack is just grayed from heat/weather. I'm in the desert, so the whole thing is faded, but should buff out. The electric fuel pump makes funny noises, and it doesn't start/run real well, no fuel out the bleeder with just the elec pump running. I think maybe the suction...

...kinda. Storing it until I can get something else sold to buy it. Pretty nice except the trans is blown up. First pic is with the "water deuce" aka Paramount water truck.
