@TeresaJohnson-ew4us at the time I didn't have much info on it but since have been able to dig up info and have plans to remake it so that it becomes operational again

@@reeseholler92 How’s it doing? Does it smoke anymore?

@rayjones7313 thanks! I got the new pump and injectors in it but found out the pump is 180 out. I plan to be back out in a couple months and it should finally live! This truck came from st Mary's area

@BackyardRC don't remember exactly when this was shot but I've since got the pump redone. The 350 has refused to go for a couple years, found out the injection pump decided to take a hiatus from making pressure

@@johnandmarilynstewart9859 you are welcome! I do it to help people

@BobbyTucker I would love to know when this truck will run. Due to the nature of both residing 20+ hours from the truck and unforseen things coming up when I do work on it, timelines are not always predictable. It is close though, I anticipate it will be running in September

@christinawiseman-gc9jh the best is most likely about 3 years older than the truck. This truck being a 4 wheel doesn't have the twin I beam suspension and instead says 250.

You cannot. There's enough power to drive it in a low gear if necessary but there's no throttle or really enough power to do any actual work. That and the gas tank is only a gallon and lasts about 15 minutes so it certainly isn't practical

I'm betting I do. I'll be around a parts tractor on Saturday, I'll take a gander

Thanks for the trick on the brake! I know the one on my mustang is broken and that'll keep this one from suffering the same fate.

There are a few outfits making new sleeves and pistons. Takes a little searching but they're out there. Steel wheel ranch used to offer a rebuild service on the priority valves, I'm not sure if they still have their machine shop do them or not. That is the only place I know of that rebuilds them to new specs

It's closer to being a runner. New injectors and pump, but needs a couple new valve springs to replace broken ones and the top end is really nasty. Plan is this summer to pull heads and finish the top end and it should be a runner

I concur, and I ended up fixing the leak, but with a remflex gasket. I may only get a week max at home so it was a cheap short term fix that will hold up for awhile

The tachometer runs off of an outlet located right below the distributor. I'm sure I have an extra pulley and bracket for the generator. I've converted most of mine to alternators as the armatures are usually toasted

@@reeseholler92 mine looks like it has a plate in that area where you say the tachometer cable goes So do you have a gearbox and a flat belt pulley for sale

Yes and no. That truck was a good buy I just didn't have the time to get it home before having to go back to work. Considering the semi's that I have top out at 55, a faster one with a few more ponies would be ideal

Besides having to clean the carb when I got back from deployment it has never failed to start no matter how long its sat

Thanks. This one is a real sweetheart. Runs like a watch and drives just as nice

In a way. There was a small town festival the last weekend of June it was put on for

Ya of it way older lmfao

Short answer is because I can. 304 in a pickup is just fine for someone that wants some torque and doesn't care about having a high rev line

@@reeseholler92 if you have a good restoration project, fine, you want an original engine but driveability is low. Just realize that you will have to watch pulling out in traffic and top speed may be under highway speeds depending on gear ratio. Torque is OK but not enough RPM range for reasonable acceleration. Most of my experience was with 1900 and 2300 (?) series trucks but l Had a 71 1500 (392 4speed) pickup daily driver for a few years, from Colorado and it was a terminal rust bucket in the early 80's. Put the engine in a field truck for a neighbor, Drove the same in a big truck (5spd & 3 spd aux) as it did in the pickup, no difference, just plodding a long, same as every other international truck I worked on. Previously did a 293 Chevy 6cyl transplant in a Travelall for a customer, made a much better driver out of it.

I can certainly try

@@reeseholler92 I am getting fuel in the oil reservoir on the injector pump I have also noticed I can’t seem to get the air out of the fuel in cylinders 1 and 2 3 and 4 have no air

Does the Pump have an A or an IH on the side? The A pumps have a scavenging valve which may stick and cause fuel to enter the reservoir. Otherwise the seals in the primary pump will need to be replaced. It is very common on these. If you cannot get the air out of the injectors after loosing the bleeding screw your plungers are stuck in the distribution block. Doesn't surprise me if its sat for awhile. The top will need to come off and the block removed@@masonheggie706

@@reeseholler92 it has the IH on the side Will I have to remove the pump to take the top off

@@reeseholler92 it does have a new primary pump on it I sent it off to get rebuilt because it was leaking fuel on the motor side and the primary pump The guy replaced the primary pump and the seal on the front and said it had good pressure I really just don’t want to take it off again
