I said the same thing when it came to me after putting it off for a week or so, AND I HAD THE PARTS LYING AROUND! [emoji6]

Why spend $10 + for each speed bleeder when you can make a simple universal one for a little over $5! Go into the pet department of your local wal mart, or pet store, and purchase an aquarium air line check valve. Then hit your junk box, hardware store, or auto parts store and get some...

I got tired of my old crappy jury rigged throttle linkage, so I replaced this: With THIS! Works smooth as silk. Oh! And check this out! I made truck of the month at FordTruckFanatics.com! Check out the write up and video!

Thanks I am an artist that works in traditional media and also makes custom items from almost all materials. what can I make for YOU?

I have narcolepsy, fibromayalgia, spinal stenosis, and I chase a 3 year old every day. I am restoring and modding my truck, starting with the mechanical, but I am getting close to body work time. Because of my problems, I am lucky to snag an hour here or there to do some work. My first question...

Wise decision. Good man. (I would want to be mad too as my truck is an heirloom and more than one person felt Dad's wrath for damaging the truck. He sent a poor chevelle to the junkyard after it's owner slung gravel on his 2 day old paibt job. That was 1976.) I am an artisan. I create using...

She climbed up there herself. She gets so interested. I had to stick a hand under her but because the cameraperson distracted her and she started to climb down. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Here is a video of the engine running so you can hear it...

Well, the truck insisted on all new lines except for one from the metering block halfway to the rear. All are now installed and the back is bled. The bleeder wrench I purchased from NAPA, part# bk 7769164 does not work on front drum brakes on my 72. 1/8" too short and 1/8" too shallow. If...

Brake lines and adapters purchased. Starting the bending process. Now I am praying the rear lines and the driver's front doesn't strip when I replace the rubber lines. [emoji120] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Here's a shot with the booster and the master. Still waiting on brake lines. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I just installed the brake booster and master cylinder. I'm ready to pull my hair out. Here is some history. I have narcolepsy and fibromyalgia. I am also raising my 3 year old granddaughter. This equates to - fixed income, limited funds and limited time. I am an artist and I work ib all kinds...

Finally had a chance to do some work on the truck. Yesterday I did the first coat to blacken the engine compartment. When the temperature gets above 65 again, I will lightly sand the dull spots and shoot again. This is a trick to save sanding time. Today I installed the new valve covers and...

When I installed the HEI ignition system, I had to delete the resistor wire. I did not realize i was disconnecting the I terminal on the voltage regulator as well. Today I corrected that wiring error so now the alternator is charging properly. I also installed a new water pump today. Sent from...

Thank you Trucker John. I have a lot of installation to do. I have no garage and suffer from narcolepsy and fibromyalgia among other things. With it being winter coupled with my wife being on a honeydo trip, updates are slow to come. I have some killer purple neoprene with which I plan to redo...
