Replaced the weatherstripping around both windshield frames, cleaned and repainted the frames and upgraded the wiper arms and blades. Now I can drive in the rain and get damp instead of drenched and I will be able to see to the end of the hood! Progress. Wiper arms are Anco, blades are Anco 11...

The truck wants to idle at 700-900 rpm. That means pulling the hand throttle, especially when the engine is cold. Totally normal. Once warm, you can usually click it in a couple of notches. If you pull the hand throttle and the engine is somewhat warmed up, at 900 rpm and constantly...

You scored a late rebuild AND dump to boot. It is impossible to go wrong with that!! Nice job!

The two little screws, secured with safety wire, should not be tight. Just enough to hold everything but not impair movement.

If you own a really big screw driver and are not faint of heart, here is how to bypass the starter switch and see if the starter turns the thing over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilrVbn1CHi0

Thanks to all for your replies. This is "Green Madness Therapy". I feel better now. Anger management has kicked in.

Here are some pictures The middle pic shows the platform between bumper and fender support.

Oh, I was my sweetest self..very understanding...and then walked away. I steamed in the car on the way home! :-) I landed on doing what you said...make sure the guy has my number, in case he changes his mind and just let it play out, whichever way it plays out. It is just a shame to have...

Good avice. Pulling parts ahead of time is not an option there. You can go look (no tools, they make sure), then tell them what you want.

I located two M35 in a truck scrap yard close to me late last year. They are the Canadian licence built versions. They are rough...dash ripped out, fender missing, one bed missing etc. BUT they do have some parts I would like to salvage as nice upgrades to my truck, especially the power...

Congrats - and you will have some reading to do. - yes, the C and D turbos look different (apart from how they sound). If your turbo sounds cool, is really loud and after about three hours of listening to it you kinda had enough, it's a C turbo Search is your friend...

So it is pressurizing the coolant system with exhaust gas? If you have an emissions test facility nearby that is cooperative, they can take their exhaust gas probe and hold it over the opening of your expansion tank with your truck idling. If the probe sniffs out CO/NOx coming from your coolant...

We want a startup video!

The shutoff is connected; I do not see anything major wrong with how it looks. Does the plunger move freely when you release the shutoff handle and move the plunger by hand? If so - that is a good sign! As Floriand suggested, you can always take the cover off and see if the innards do what they...

It is a fine line between "repair/replace other stuff while you have it apart" and getting completely carried away into a major rebuild! Always good to have a plan and watch yourself! I should know...

I can tell you that a turned up LDS with single-hole injectors ain't it!

Looks like new! Good job. Did you have them remove the front splash guards and pioneer rack on purpose?

That is not paranoia, it is a reasonable precaution. Take the mushroom cap off and have a piece of 2x6 ready (preferably a soldier B at the ready) to shut off the air intake. Oh, and if there is no hose connected to the air connector on the air filter bucket, put a metal cap of some sort over...

Congrats on your truck! You seem to have done your home work! Just a note on the sand blasting: The CARC paint that was used to paint the truck is toxic and cancerogenic. Airway protection is a must when blasting and grinding this stuff. A note on the brakes: You will have the brake drums and...

Yes, the only ground for the dash panel is via the locking screws. An O-ring should not do bad things because you would still use the factory locking screws, but if you have ground issues after, you may want to run a ground wire.
