Does anyone have a brake/clutch pedal diagram with all parts shown? My pictures I took so I could reassemble them was on an SD card which went belly up. Thanks Ray J.

MBF and Rustyzman I agree. I did a lot of Chevy stuff in the 70's and that was so nice. Clutch fork was a piece of cake to reinstall with a new throw out bearing. Took me about 30 minutes or so to get the Dodge TOB to line up and go onto the tranny. Finished wiring the dually bed. There are a lot of lights on it. Ray J.

Transmission is in. I went toe to toe with it for 4 hours. It wore me to a nub. Pix are of the all thread pieces I used to guide it home. Also finished priming the back of the cab where I replaced the rust. Back to wiring today. Ray J.

That is some nice work Rustyzman. And that is an eleven inch clutch. If only the tranny went in as easy. MBF you are so right. You have to be careful when dealing with outside machine work. I thank the Lord every time I make progress. It is 31 degrees outside so no work today. Ray J.

Thanks Rustyzman for the advice and pictures. I like it when people show ingenuity. I have a 3 foot piece of all-thread and am going to cut it up to make sliders for the lower 2 bolts as I am using the top 2 bolt ears on the tranny to lift it. I think getting the throw out bearing and collar on may be a challenge. Thanks again. Ray J.

Question. Where can I buy u-joints that do not cost an arm and a leg? Yesterday I finally installed the new clutch disc and pressure plate. Tried to install the tranny but need to reposition floor jack from the side to straight on with the tranny so it will move forward and back instead of sideways. Too cold to work today and that tranny wore me to a nub. Ray J.

You are so right about menus and icons. What happened to words? Delete, text, and send. Even with old eyes I could cypher the words. Ray J.

I worked on computers since my first one in 1963 on my first nuke sub in the Navy. I started working on PC's in 1987 and ended my career in large networks. Cell phones are much harder for me than networks ever were. Ray J.

Mine is a Samsung Galaxy S15. I like the way I do it so I can save all the pictures and the ones I do not post to my progress folder. Old coot things, stick in the mud and bone head. All wiring to bed is done. Ray J.

I wish my new phone would let me make changes. EVERYTIME I change a setting it changes from 1 to 3 other settings. T-Mobile can change things for me without problems but a 30 mile round trip is not worth it for me. Ray J.

I had the same problem. I loaded my pix from my phone to my PC and used Paint to resize so they are below the 3MB in size that P15-D24 website has set as the limit in size. Then use "choose files" and upload. Took every day off since Thanksgiving. Back at it tomorrow. Ray J.

Hello MBF, what I am doing on in a hurry? This and some more wire pulling is all I had time for. Ray J.

Was in a hurry. It will be cleaned before I weld it all up. Pulled al the wire in for bed and gas tank and fuel pump. Ray J.

Been busy and working late and to tired to post. Exhaust is in, back of cab and floor are welded up, primed and seam sealed. holes where gas filler went through the cab and where it went through the floor are welded up, ground down and seam sealed. Bed mounts are made but not installed. Pilot bushing is replaced and clutch install is next week. Today is wiring up the brake, tail, turn signal and license light along with gas tank sending unit wire. Ray j.

I finally quit agonizing over the t-stat and installed it. Today I wired my old distributor to the HEI module and will test later this week. Also had some exhaust pipe made up and will install it tomorrow. Working on getting it ready to fire up. Ray j.

Thanks for the reply. My book shows the same as Mr. Neal's post. Ray j.

T-STAT question. Am I assuming correctly that the rubber goes in the housing groove, t-stst sits on it and gasket goes between bottom of t-stat and head? see pictures. Manifolds are installed and pattern made from exhaust outlet to where I want muffler to set. Off to exhaust shop tomorrow. Ray J.

Took it easy today and made patch panels for the cab and bed. Yhe big rusty one is a bed patch to cover where he put a diesel stack and the one above it is to close off the ball hitch in the bed. Above that are cab patches. Ray J.

It is a Motorad 400580. The brass adapter is way to big to pound in. I think I will use the old one and drill a few holes in it until I can find a NOS t-stat.I took a tumble the other day. I don't bounce on concrete or recoup as fast anymore. Ray J.

Well thermostat is still a problem. The pictures tell the story of the brass sleeve being too big to go into the housing. The old one seems to fit but is not as shown in parts book. It has no bypass slots. I could carefully drill some bypass holes. It does have the small hole with the jiggle thing (tech term). Ray J.

Thanks Mr. Neal. I will assemble today now that it males sence. Ray J.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I have the external housing. You can see it in the picture.. Ray J.

I need an original style thermostat. I have purchased two and cannot figure out how to install either without excess space which will not seal the thermostat and would let it float around inside the housing. Any insight is appreciated. Well I spent two 5 hour days trying to get the pilot bushing out without success. Found out that the new slant 6 dizzy i converted is not long enough to reach the oil pump drive. luckily I bought a used dizzy to do the conversion. Seems the 25" block dizzy is longer than the used Dodge dizzy I purchased. I have converted my original dizzy to trigger a HEI module that triggers the Flamethrower 3 coil. Did manage to get the bottom back of the cab welded in plus the inside piece. One more long piece will complete that repair, then on to the one piece of the floor that I need to make and weld in.

Some progress. Getting ready to start working on the dog house.

47 1/2 ton. If your truck is set up for bypass and you have a 3 to 4 pound radiator cap I would not think that would make a freeze plug leak My freeze plugs looked good from the outside but everyone was almost rusted thru. I am on the disabled list so probably no work until next week. At 81 years old it takes a lot longer for bumps, sprains and bruises to heal up. Ray J.
