starting part 2

When I purchased my fuel shot off solenoid I also picked up a starter rebuild kit. When I loosened the starter bolts I found they were only hand tight??
Optima red top batteries (you know you are jealous) and starter were pulled then pressure washed.

Starting...

The new truck doesn't turn over nearly as easily as my old first gen. So here begin the starting upgrades.
I replaced the fuel shot off solenoid with a Larry Bs. When lined up side by side they look the same, maybe it was already replaced and I am switching it out for an identical unit. Well nonetheless its new now. The truck still starts like the battery are low though... (battery's are not low they are showing normal charge).

Dash...

Here is the lack of a dashboard in the new truck. No AC, no heater, fan or vents even a broken knob.

37s

I was saving the 37' MTs for my next build but Thomas finally convinced to to part with them. He recently swapped out his worn unbalance 36" bias-plies for the new(er) balanced Radials. This also cured the steering "DEATHWOBBLE" problem he has been having.

Water pump

As soon as we replace the entire power steering system... the water pump goes out...
