All fluids changed and the differentials have been repaired and painted - I painted the bolts silver for giggles, see pics. New brakes all the way around - new calipers in the front, those were seized up, and new pads - the thing actually can stop now. I got all the break materials - and a new brake line and fluids - for $201 at Autozone - love the old autos, everything is like a BIC lighter, just rip it out and stuff a new one in Tore the cab apart too - some mice took up residence in there over the winter and I spent a solid 20 hours steaming, shampooing, and disinfecting everything - but now when it gets humid outside it still smells like mice pee - somebody mentioned ozone treatment, anybody know if that works? Now I have to figure out why the gas gauge doesn't work - it has dual tanks, but no switch anywhere in the cab - some online stuff says there may be a valve underneath the truck, but I have not checked yet. Maybe a bad sending unit, or who knows...Not sure if it pulls from the front tank then goes to the bank tank or what...I just filled it up with gas (both tanks) as I have not been driving it, but I will find out soon
