  1. If sale falls through are you looking to trade for anything?

    If it where me I'd start with taking the bowls off and running some carb cleaner and a welding tip cleaners through the jets. Then go with the basics. Sea foam/acetone through the tank. Check for an inline fuel filter replace it if it has it. Then in a dark garage/ outside at night fire it up. Keeping an eye on the spark plug wires looking for arking you can even mist some water with a spray bottle/Windex to check for bad boots on the wires. Lastly if the carbs are vacuume assisted take a can of starting fluid and sprits a little (very little) around the vacuume lines. Do this only when the engine is cold and if the spark plug wires are good. If the engine revs up after you spray the starting fluid it Wil tell you if there's a vaccume leak. Also check the throttle cable make sure its free moving and that the assembly is closing fully. Sounds to me like its just in need of a good tune up. Also I would change the oil with a good motorcycle oil even if its clean or recently been done. I can't tell you the number of times I though the clutch was bad on the old fixer upper bikes I bought just to find the oil was regular automotive oil didn't have the right amount of Zink or graphite in it. Just my $.02 hope it helps As far as the insulators are concerned straight pieces of radiator hose that's really close to the diameter you need and some rtv sealant are great substitutes. make sure the clamps are nice and tight. Just another play outta the ol' red neck repair book lol.

    O rings and rebuild jets should be all you need. Needs and everything else shouldn't be damaged unless its been torn apart before

    Tire Shine

    A good side to side lean while ripping it will clear it just fine. Use to park mine in the shop always did this to clear the oil residue off before I left. Works like a charm and its much faster than scrubbing. A little brake cleaner on the front works well if its really bad too
  15. I've got one of these its my go to gun for concealed I'd be willing to part with it and the ammo for the right price. Shoot me a pm if you're interested.
  16. I wanted my own transportation in the summer when i was 15 since a drivers license wasn't an option the next best thing was a motorcycle endorsement. Parents didn't want me to have one so being the rebel I was I talked my mom into letting me get it and I've been hooked ever since
  17. Gonna be working on the truck today. Call/Text me if anyone is interested in parts 740-816-6593
  18. I've got everything but the jack. The egr pipe went bye bye when I ran the headders and straight pipe. You're welcome to have the egr housing and block off panel I made for it though lol. not sure if the washer motor works anymore but it is there and the wiper arms are fine.
  19. I can text pics. Its not a bad truck just old and worn. Minor things like a starter, ground cables to the starter would be needed. The ignition is stripped so its wired to a push button start. The wiring to the fuel pump went bad so its hooked up to a toggle and it has a toggle for for a main power cut so its set up kinda like a hillbilly drag car. The locks are messed up so you can't use a key but it has power locks that work fine just never got around to replacing the tumblers. It was my daily throughout high school and college. Just got a new ride and stopped driving it. Im sure it needs some minor tune ups done but its still has plenty of life left. Just don't have the time or need for it anymore. I did try selling it a while back but didnt have any takers mostly tire kickers and low ballers trying to give me less than the scrap value. It would make a perfect haul truck at the end of the day.
  20. Springs aren't snapped at the eyelet they're intact just one leaf had snapped the end off snagged it on a rock when getting into a creek lol no real structural damage still could bolt on just fine lol. As far as the bench seat it is gone lol pitched it when I put the buckets in. Can definitely work something out for the wheels and tires. Scheduling a time is going to be a pain I work until 9pm but any time after that I'm free don't mind staying up late just gotta keep the noise down for my pops. He's an early first shift worker lol. As far as this weekend i work saturday morning till 1pm and off sunday. So we can definitely work something out there as well. Obviously the more we have the faster and easier we can get it done. It does have a fiberglass camper top on it too. Little rough around the edges but still looks decent and definitely keeps the bed dry if interested. Tail gate is in good shape and has a plastic bed liner too.
  21. Also forgot to mention It has a set of 2 or 2.5 inch wheel spacers on it billet aluminum. The tires are a matching set 30.5x9 a/ts can't remember the brand. The front are about 80% back are practically new. They're on a set of chrome samurai wheels (factory wheels)
