Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!

I was off all week and had plans to spend as much time as I could working on the truck. In the end, I was only able to hook up the fuel filler and mount the tail lights. I changed course on lights in the roll pan and installed stock styled LED’s.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!

I've been scratching my head trying to figure out where the puddle of brake fluid was coming from on the drivers side around the front wheel. All the lines were checked & double checked & after closer inspection it appeared that it was coming from somewhere around the master cylinder so I set up me camera to see what happened when I applied the brakes and was shocked to see that the pressure switch on the proportioning valve was gushing fluid, not from the threaded connection but from around the front section by the plug. Somewhat surprised that this would fail especially since it's new.

sometimes being new can be worse than using the old part, lol.

True! I wasn't using it anyway, so I just capped it off.

Added a set of LED headlights. These have built in DRLs & turn signals. Can't figure out what the emergency flashers don't work though. I Hope to be able to test drive this thing soon!
