![]() Need a turn signal switch for the steering column, but none were there that worked decently. Door light switches, gas cap gasket, misc bolts and nuts. Then I found a few other parts I needed, a fuel tank sending unit, some chrome trim, including a glove box door emblem that says "sport custom". Total cost for the set of four wheels and tires was $44 bucks. They appear to have been new with the tires and are in great shape. The wheels are Ford branded and are 16x7, so the whole modern world of tires opens up. They are age cracked however, and rather small, 225/75 -16. It was last registered in 2001 and the tires look to have zero wear. (you can see one in front leaning sideways with the gray wheel) They seemed to have been placed on right before the truck was parked forever. The major score was the rims and tires on this truck. That was fun, remember those runaway Toyota Priuses a few years ago that were big in the news? The owners claiming that the throttle stuck wide open and they could not stop? Guess Rex wanted to imitate one. Last week the right turn signal cancel snapped in the column, as well as the throttle cable sticking open. I guess that the truck sitting for years and years, the PO claimed he drove it about 5-10 miles per year, let that front seal dry right up.ĭriving the truck frequently since I bought it has been shaking things up, little stuff is breaking regularly. I have had good results with Marvel Mystery Oil and oil circulation problems in old engines. Never been a big believer in liquid repair tricks. ![]() Picked something called "No Leak", now is that clever naming or what, as it's the only one with a full money back warranty and I expect I may want my $7 dollars back.ĭid not want to do the brake fluid trick as it seems to me that such fluids are not going to mix all that well. Options are limited at this time, I'd like to hold off on pulling the trans or engine till next summer when I'll have more time. The front main seal on the trans is leaking a lot. So this weekend was pretty simple with Rex. Got to get me that socket, as I know I will be back in the brakes soon. ![]()
