Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

Small update, I ended up just putting a kit in the wheel cylinder and it seems to be working fine, but now I'm having engine trouble again... Went to drive the truck to tryout the brakes and was having trouble with the engine dying out/having no power in any other gear besides 1st.
The symptoms seemed to Me like it was running out of fuel (My gas gauge does not work) so I added some gas and it seemed to run better but still not perfect.
I decided to have a look at the fuel filter in the carb. and just as I figured it was all gummed up with crud.
So I ran the truck some more without the filter in line and it is now running better but as before, still not perfect.

So now I suspect that some of the crud made it past the filter and into the carb. witch means of course that another carb. cleaning is in my near future.
It's always something with these old trucks LOL.
