Your pictures do help but without seeing in person what has happened it is hard to diagnose on the net. When stock systems are changed it makes it harder to figure out, that is why we go to basics first.

I have used studs and nuts on all thermostat housings for 40 plus years as the anti freeze, aluminum and steel corrosion weakens the threads too eventually. Once studded and if the housing is still serviceable by the base being flat then a good gasket should seal. The housings will distort when...

Air bubbles will enter from fuel slosh in the fuel tank just from operating the vehicle. However the more fuel that you keep in your fuel tank the amount of bubbles will be reduced somewhat, as less fuel in the tank the line will suck in more air bubbles. Safety concerns are the reason why...

Hello .Max. Do you know if the truck still has the 24 volt starter. Are you opposed to going back to 24 volt starting system?

The X Program Aircraft, XB70, Space Vehicles, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo Rockets, X15, kept a young kid reading and always looking towards what "could be". As the programs continue to explore limits of technology, new technology keeps forging the future. Now as I grow older and new technological...

Chevrolet engines in the 60's and 70's sometimes had between 1 and 7 different pistons in different sizes. This made assembly in the engine shop easier as the final bore and honing tools ware. Then when machine shops would get the engine they would "square up" on rebuilds as they are working on...

Rings wear and the gaps get larger. They may have been in spec and maybe someone fitted different parts to make it work. The pistons would not be the same measurement as the bore. Find the proper engine manual for all the engine specifications. That will give you the correct ring gaps for all...

Welcome Rex1977 What is customary is to go ahead and start a new thread as to try and keep different problems and solutions separate. Although sometimes they can be intertwined.:burn: Also a search can be done and you can gather multiple answers and differing opinions. Good Luck

Have you tried to hotwire the ignition?

I have been using Shell Rotella for 15 years and Texaco before that. Recently I started using Lucas also with a Wix filter.

Could be as simple as sucking air into fuel system. What do the rubber fuel lines look like? Have you checked the clamps on the fuel lines for being tight? Have you used a clear fuel line from the pump to the fuel return line to see if there are air bubbles in the fuel? When you changed fuel...

Good Luck with the truck. The truck was a 1028 before the front posi D60 was taken. The rear 14 bolt full floater is relatively easy to replace with a civi rear, either a 3.73 or 4.10.. The front axle can be replaced with another civi or military axle also. Stay with the military 208 32...

But hey you can enjoy as is, right? You never know what fate befalls us.
