I had a Dodge Ares K cook a caliper and shoes, the rubber line went through a bracket holder that had swelled with rust and prevented the fluid from returning once the brakes were released.

I had similar trouble with S10. Turned out that new switch was bad. Bought Ebay NOS switch and no more problems GM runs all kinds of lights through switch and column what a mess. Check switch first. Good luck.

Check with local police or DMV. 4 in a cab is illegal in West Virginia for instance.

I have a 64 F100 with thin spots above the rain gutter edge. I made a post and crickets chirped . Not much on Youtube I found. I did some mig work on a Scout II and they are thin metal for sure. I used the mig and learned with an automatic hood the mig wire glows long enough between spot welds that ...

i am in Wet Virginia. I did mig work on a Scout II so I have some practice. Between myself and my buddy who worked in a body shop will tackle the patch job. Thanks for the tips.Mark

Leaves got the front edge of my wide side truck bed in one corner. I need one of those corrugated floor repair panels ,WHO SELLS A GOOD A FLOOR REPAIR PANEL? I may need the front bed cross member...... WHO SELLS THE BED FRONT CROSS MEMBER AS AN INDIVIDUAL UNIT? What have you used? Thanks. Mark

Sleeping Beauty is a Texas built truck shipped to Arizona branch for sale. How she got to West Virginia is a mystery . Last inspection sticker was 1995. She is about as rust free as any local truck except for rust out from bed leaves and internal rust from sweating of the cab inside.

Sleeping Beauty, My 64 F100 project has one trouble spot in the cab. The roof panel has sweated over time and has gotten thin or rusted out above the rain gutter edge. The rain gutter itself is intact and the rust is between the gutter edge and the roof crease above the door. My repair idea so far i...

I finally figured out photobucket so here are some pictures. Enjoy.

Other problem is that every one is looking for the NV4500 so they are expensive and scarce. I have looking for one for Chevy 4x4 1 ton with 4.10 gears without success .

Never heard of slick/ NV4500 swap in Ford . My question would be what transmissions would fit your needs pavement queen or rock hauler? Seems that many overdrive trannys might meet needs for hp and torque of engine?

Progress since last post....GM steering wheel in truck was stock length and too long for Ford stuck too far into the cab towards the seat. I am going to put in a 1985 Firebird tilt in instead . The MB diesel has a 24 volt starter but I have found a 12 volt model instead. Truck at a friend's house 2 ...

i have the brother to your truck..... my Sleeping Beauty a 1964 F100 Texas built Arizona district sales truck that ended up in West Virginia. She is repowered by a MB OM314 4 cylinder diesel..... going to puzzle the purists. Worst rot was from leaves in the bed with the truck parked downhill. Welcom...

Project update: We pull started the OM314 4 cylinder engine , it fired up within 15 feet with no smoke and no bad rattles. We have to get juice from the batteries to the starter as the series/parallel switch just buzzes . The engine at 1200 rpm held 100psi oil pressure, with 50 psi at 700 rpm with o...

Thanks for the info. I will surf you tube when my computer speed recovers from my data limit tilt. I am in the three S's right now in the process, steering, starting and stopping.

I am researching how to seal/save the patina finish on my 64 Ford Sleeping Beauty. She appears to be originally Turquoise Green with a coat of Safety Yellow over that with a peeling coat of dull white on top. I have some surface rust. I want to keep the under a tree (minus the leaves) barn fine look...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reply. The MB engine has a mechanical injector pump with no blower. I hope it is ok because the swap is unusual to say the least and people would get a kick out of it. The engine was used in ton trucks and small buses, so it should power an empty classic truck. Remember flathead V-8 w...
