back in the saddle kind of

I havent been on much the last few years I had lost intrest in my trucks. I had a few people stop and ask about them and that got me thinking about it being sale time. So I started messing with one of them. My runing truck has been down due to a short in the fire department instaled start button. (just found that to today. )
I put in batterys played with the switch after taking it ot of the dash and it craked then fired and i was off and running. I have no breaks due to the leaky wheel cylinders but i did pull up to the drive way from out back in the woods. I am nothing but smiles. I think I just re kindled my intrest in my trucks with that short drive. Now to bleed thosebreaks an drive to the car wash. LOOks like ill be on more often.;)

Welcome back.

I sold my first truck shortly after buying a second "parts" truck that I thought I'd restore. I got started on it briefly before life started making other plans for me. I never lost interest but have not had any time to work on it. I have collected a few parts though so when I do finally get some time I will have plenty to do.

Sounds about right.
So I bleed the breaks and drove her to town to the car wash. Had a nice 30 mile drive blew off all the woods crud acumulated over 3 years, put some seafome and fresh 91 oct into the tank. As I returned home and pulled into the drive my break petal went strait to the floor couldn't have been better timming. Talk about blessings. Maybe in the morning after work I will run down the break system? maybe.....

install a dual resorvoir master, AS I believe you'll find the seals in the old master either dried out, or you had a rough bore and killed the seals, either way, a very worthwhile upgrade

also go through and rebuild the wheel cylinders, a decently quick job to give peace of mind
