Been a while since I've updated here, obviously. I haven't done too much to the truck as of late. I have bought a few parts, though.
I did relocate my overflow tank to sit on the driver side of the radiator. Bought a new radiator cap. Now, I finally seem to have the overflow issue addressed. Now, it seems to recycle the fluid that flows into the overflow reservoir. Finally.
I'm starting to redo the front brakes. Last couple of times I drove it, it sounded like the front passenger side was grinding. So, I jacked it up and got the wheels pulled off. Only had time to pull the driver side caliper off. The pads were toast. I got the passenger side bolts loosened up, but didn't have time to pull it. I'm hoping I can find some time in the next few nights to pull the rotors. Going to bring them into work and have them turned in our machine shop.
After that, I'll redo the back brake pads, but I've never messed with drum brakes before. So, that's going to be a learning curve, and plenty of YouTube watching to figure that out.
I did go ahead and purchase a steering box to replace my leaking one. Picked it up from RockAuto - a LARES power steering box for a '76 model. I have 6 months to get my core charge returned, so I'm hoping I can get it replaced before then.
