Some guy 3 blocks from my shop actually had them stacked in his backyard under a tarp. He got.them for his superduty but guess what! Wrong bolt pattern LOL. His wife was riding him to move them before winter so he said if I can haul them I can have them, so I took them and bolted them up. I also rust reformed my hubs as they had surface rust. All the lugs were good which was a nice suprise.

AK FORD GUY your avatar caught my eye. I work at the local fire department and am finishing up field for paramedic school (part of the reason I have less truck time than I want) I just ran about 100 feet of 3/4 inch gas line at our training tower for roll over and flash over. 3/4 inch @ 40 psi makes for a good time. It sounds like a jet engine and shakes the conex pretty violently put a huge grin on my face!

 

That is one heck of a deal.

My avatar is a pic of our well-house prop, she burns propane and diesel and is a blast to fight . I work a 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off schedule at work. I am on a volunteer department pretty far north, basically the tip top of Alaska. I have been certified for my FireFighter I and am testing out for my Engineering creds next week, FireFighter II will be next on the list. Granted, it's only a volunteer department, but we have a blast training. Up here at work, we do not see many real fire calls.

Stay safe brother

Should be good times. I got a smoking deal on a 1600 sq foot suite! It's bigger than my house!

 

I believe it had dealer installed A/C. If you look closely at the photo you'll see two lines running along the top of the firewall.

 

Anniversary present from my wife!

Woohoo!

Haha ya she does. And she likes to go shooting as much as I do.

What a gal!

 

Has anyone changed out their brake booster. I'm gonna tackle that today and any suggestions would be helpful!

It's a pretty straight forward and easy install, just be sure to check and make sure the booster push rod adjustment is correctly set.

 

I have a haynes manual any extra info or should that cover it?

 

Consider upgrading to the dual diaphragm setup. It bolts in, but depending on the master cylinder, you might have a small issue. On mine, the single diaphragm master cylinder has slightly smaller stud hole spacing than the dual diaphragm one. I just took a file and slightly ovaled the holes until it bolted to the booster.

If you go with a direct replacement, there is no magic at all. The only line is the vacuum line, and then there's a couple bolts that hold it on. Easy swap.

 

What's the advantage to switching to dual diaphragm?
