Fixing my trucks issues 1/2

As some of you know my truck was struggling to run at highway speeds. It’s been an ongoing issues since I purchased the truck. Well In this video I show you what I did to finally get the thing to run at highway speeds. The next vid will show how I fixed the overheating issue that a lot of us have with these trucks.

Really nice work man, thanks for documenting all your projects. I've got a 79 with the 20R and done a lot of the same work you've made videos about. I haven't had the overheating issues, but I'm in rural western WA and rarely do speeds above 50 mph. You might consider getting a weber 32/36 to help with the fuel economy. I know you probably can't desmog in CA, but after I desmogged and installed the weber it felt like a new truck. I get around 25 mpg. Maybe a new, more efficient radiator would help with the heat? I gotta do the heater core next, not looking forward to it haha.

Thanks man, I’m currently uploading the 2nd part of the vid. I fixed my overheating issue which that will be in my next vid, I’m going to swap the engine later on but before that I might throw in a 5speed. I have a vid on here where I replaced the heater core and installed new foam on the hvac box.
