Short day of work on the truck.
Ordered new radiator hoses and a water pump gasket since I could not find them locally.
Installed a filter like Nate suggested. tried to start the truck to warm it up to change the oil. It would not run worth a crap. Looked at the clear filter....no fuel.
Pulled the line apart between the pump and carb and pushed air threw it. Not a problem.
Had my son help me and did the same on the line from the tank to the pump. Blocked almost completely. We cut the line by the pump and rigged up a temp tank under the hood. Problem solved. Should have listened to you guys about replacing the line.
Do I buy a prebent replacement, or bend my own?
Solved (sorta) my starter pedal problem. I tapped two thick washers to the button on the starter, no it works every time. I do not see an adjustment to make the lever closer to the button. Might just weld a bead on the lever and call it good.
Lastly got the truck up on blocks to take a look at the brakes. They look in pretty good shape. Amazingly all the drum screws came out easily.
