Get it fired up first then look for leaks and check and recheck the brakes. If it has a good brake pedal then pump it hard a few times and recheck your fluid level. Chances are after sitting that long you will need to bleed the brakes to get any pedal. Good luck.

Keep the key on and prime it until the oil light goes out. Then put it back together and you should be ok.

Cool project. Good luck with it. Hello from Ohio.

Welcome to the site. Glad you finally said hello.

Thats awesome. Just remember to filter the heck out of it. WMO is all I run, thinned with a little gasoline. Its always a good idea to keep a spare set of fuel filters with you and the tools to switch them out. I also change my filters everytime I change my oil. For me its about twice a year. i...

Welcome from a little farther north up I-75. ( I did live in Columbus, Georgia for 3 years. )

Welcome from Ohio.

Welcome to the site.

Welcome. the truck looks nice. Its awesome that you are involving your boys in this project. These are memories that will last forever.

An internal MC leak is the most likely cause of pedal fade with no brake fluid loss. I think your rebuild will fix the problem. Good luck.

Its good to see someone slower than me. Your truck is looking good.

With the bed being a foot and a half shorter. I would consider cutting the normal 3 feet off the frame or 3 1/2 max and leave a 1 to 1 1/2 foot gap between the cab and bed. That would be the perfect place to mount a spare and a jerry can on each side.

A power unit and a switch on the dash would be very nice.

As long as all your wiring is clean and tight I would say its a bad starter. This was probably a reman and not a totaly new unit. Its hard to find new and very expensive. Sometimes you get a dud. Good luck.

I have put many turbo kits on 6.2l engines as a GM tech. We put them on the hotshot hauling trucks. After 100,000 miles with the turbo we would put a new engine in and reinstall the turbo. We only did this because the turbos caused heavy ring wear. These were bone stock engines. If they had been...

Hello from Cincinnati. Think long and hard before you get out of the hobby. When your boy is a little older he will probably love this stuff.

Modification is a good thing. If the military didnt modify all the deuce owners would be driving M34s . I figure if the military had no issues modifiing i dont either. I am looking for a M715 project now and will be abou as stock as the bobbed deuce I am finishing now.[thumbzup]

It shouldn't be that bad since it was just apart.
