Re: Ryan's 57 pickup project
Some things I found that needed fixing or I just didn't like...
1. The truck rode like crap. The front springs were flat worn out, sitting less than an inch from the rubber stops and the shocks were way too stiff. Scary to drive. Bump steer from Hell.
2. The dual pipes had cherry bombs with no tail pipes, drone in the cab was unbearable.
3. The truck had a Purolator electric fuel pump that must've gone bad because it vibrated loud! Hammering at every idle.
4. Lots of holes in the firewall letting fumes in.
5. Hard line coming out of the fuel tank sending unit had a small hairline crack letting gas fumes in the cab.
6. Chinese gauges from Autozone for oil pressure and water temp added, I don't trust em.
7. Heater rattled and rang like bell, something inside must've cracked. It also leaked coolant...keeping that carpet nice and wet.
8. Carpet on the floors had a nasty smell.
