To play with brakes quietly with engine not running, not needed, hook up dry air compessor air to the right rear glad hand from more or less remote compressor. Makes it all easy and quite and can find every air leak that way. Use the one man pressure bleeder hose form NAPA and a pressure feed...

Take the spares off the back of the truck and try it again. That weight at that lever/moment is maybe too high so far behind the axle.

could be nose of the starter

Yeah, I spent about twenty hours getting that part right Figure 89 in the TM |Drove me nuts send to me an email and I will send the as done in .MOV files so one may see it all working really good.

Look at how That step tool is ground when new. make a grinder to suit. It is worth the wheel for the grinder to re-sharpen them. Me Thinks If I was not so freakin old I would have another new business..............

If a coolant hose had a no squashing spring in it when new then it MUST be in there forever.

Some things I had to handmake as I could not pull the Rockwell just to fix a thingie, so I invented stuff.

On mine the brakes came first. It is really easy to buy a car/truck and get somebody else to fix it but not a Deuce

Truck was level. Truck ran for a bit of time. Truck sat draining down to pan for a while. Then You did read the dipstick. Do not overfill engines.
