Dito with diesel bob. A spring vent was incorrectly installed on the master cylinder. Why probally because it's easier to remove with that mod.
A remote resovior would be nice.
I have to check mine weekly to keep the spiders out. Also, had a bird try and build a nest on my fuel filters. Wild life has no respect....my truck ain't noahs ark.
Fuel line I can't help. Hopefully some one knows. I always try McMaster-Carr first
First, good luck with your purchase.
Parts are easy to get. Some cheap some not.
Top speed is limited by the drive line. Folks on this board have been able to make there trucks go fast by bobbing and changing tires. I just think the brake system is not designed to go over 55mph.
Fuel...
The real question is how many are left? I thought for sure this would be the last year. Looks like I could be wrong there just every where.
Reminds me I need to get that M35A3 for Christmas.
Wow, I normally don't like bobbers at all. That's is a good looking truck. How does it handle?
Looks well balanced. Some of the items I like the most is the crew cab, short bed, seats, winch, and paint. Good work:beer:
I think the only gain by bobbing would be drive ability. You are limited by the drive train when it comes to mpg's.
Even though the multifuel can run on most anything you need to watch the quality of the fuel before it goes into the tank. Simplely make sure it's filter and has no water.

On mine the transfer case to frame bolts were not tight and the drive shaft between the trans/transfer I could spin by hand.
Well, crap replacing those rear brakes hoses and broke the T connection from the frame. Was in a hurry because I wanted to try out my new power bleeder.
Add me to the no brakes club...lol
Joe, I would reccomend a gallon of silicon from eastern supply. Very nice vendor.
That's a spring vent normally there is a vent line running into the mc. You need a 3/4" wrench to unscrew the mc cap. There is a raised 3/4" square just below the spring vent. Make sure and clean around the area so no dirt gets in there.
Since you have no brakes now. I suggest going through the entire brake system and rebuild/replace any questionable parts. It's expensive but you need to know that when you hit the pedal your truck will stop.
I have a rear brake hose that looks ify and its going to be replaced today. Also, I got...
