I’d be careful with the leaking carb. My 77 f250 caught fire once while I was trying to get it to stop leaking (by driving hard) and my alternator was old, it sparked and ignited the gas. Truck still ran after but I replaced the carb and the few damaged vacuum hoses
@@thomasemilio8082 thanks so much! I’m really liking it! In the next couple weeks I find a carburetor that works all the way, paint it and start re wiring it!
I have a 1965 Datsun 1200 Pickup. I did pretty much the same thing you did on the clutch master cylinder. My truck has a L20B with a four speed manual and a 3.7 to 1 gear ratio diff from a 1968 Datsun 510 Station Wagon. With the gear ratio and 14 inch tires, it's geared almost like a Datsun 240Z.
I’m glad it ended up working for me! It’s fun working on these old rigs but sometimes sourcing parts. Especially when you can’t/dont want to wait for shipping is a struggle!
@@Clintvaughtgarage I noticed that you didn't use the first new clutch master cylinder. what did you use? Mine was for a 720 Pickup I think. It sits at a funny angle but, It works. I just have to keep an eye on the fluid level more often. I also converted the brake system to a dual reservoir master cylinder but, the brake pedal is hard as a cinder block. They work but I don't like it.
@@ChetanGreywolf I ended up using one I found on eBay for 520 (at least that’s what the listing said) I’d like to eventually upgrade this one. I really want to hold on to this truck!
@@Clintvaughtgarage Definitely hold on to it. They are hard to come by. I got mine from my Grandfather after he passed. Mine originally had an E1 engine with a four speed on the column. I have the transmission but, not the engine.
If the odometer is correct it seems like this ones got about 50k on it. And now that I’ve got it running better (next episode I swap the carb) it sounds pretty good too!

@@skimboards4life865 I end up giving up on that carb eventually! Next episode I swap another carburetor onto it!
You are climbing fast to being in my top 5 channels to watch. If that means anything.
Thanks so much! It does! I really appreciate it! I feel super grateful to even have the time to do this stuff!
Great work!!!Cool looking truck
