Good work on the truck, make sure you go over the frame thoroughly, When I patched it the front half wasnt too bad, but now its rusted right around around the front shackle mounts.

My cab floor is the same way, when I pulled out the smashed windshield I found out why, the windshield frame was rotted out in the corners and the water would just drip through onto the floor. My floor is still rotten, What I plan on doing is to finding a 3rd gen single cab in the junkyard and cut out the floor pans. Surprisingly mine isn't rotten anywhere but the foot wells, the rest of the floor and cab are solid besides the battery tray.

yea....i have gone through the whole frame and i have repared all the soft spots....heck if this frame lasts me 4-5 years imma be happy cause in the mean while i will be saving for a custom tube frame......but this frame is going to be poweder coated so it will last a little longer than with just normal paint

Nice work.
Can you take a close-up photo of the carb on your new engine? Somebody worked on or replaced my carb at some point and it doesn't have the number stamped on it anymore so I'm having a hard time even finding a vacuum diagram for it, much less a rebuild kit. I'm hoping somebody here has the same carb as me and I can figure out what the hell I've got in my truck! Thanks.

Where should the number be on it I think the same may have happened with one I've got? I came across a free 22r with the carb so I have one I'm trying to rebuild and in the same spot as you.

83

Supposedly (can't say since I've never seen it) the carb number is stamped on a bolt, on the drivers side of the carb down towards the base. I don't see one there on mine, and the idle mixture screw plug is drilled out so obviously a PO messed around a bit with the carb. I almost think I've got a California model carb hooked up to a non-Cali truck, so I can't figure the vacuum hoses out, and can't find a rebuild kit since I don't know the carb #.

I've basically got a carb that matches the California vacuum diagram, but I don't have all the extra emissions stuff, so things are hooked up weird and I can't quite figure it out. I don't understand enough about it to know what I can just plug and what needs to be hooked up so for now I'm just leaving it the way it is I guess. Would be really nice to get it all figured out, though.

yea, i will take a pic of my carb tomorrow....ok so today the frame is totally finnished being welded so now i have the whole truck up on jackstands got all the tires off and stuff and have the front brakes off to put new rotors on, sorry no pics today but tomorrow i will have some

83

Progress! Great

yotaboy82

well the powder coating frame dident work to well so i used automotive asphalt went on thick...lol here is some pics of the progress i have gotten everyting all wired back up the motor turns over....u just need to hook all fuel lines up and put oil in the engine...now time for body filler and paint

yotaboy82

well, it now runs and idles like it was just running yestartday.....still need to bleed the brakes....ok now for the question, how am i supposed to bleed the clutch? just like breaks push the clutch to floor, open bleeder screw close let off clutch or what> i was doing it like that for almost an hour, used up a whole bottle of fluid and i got fluid comming out but my clutch still wont disengage like the slave clutch cylinder barely moves so do i need a new one or what?

yotaboy82

well the truck runs a drives....has brakes and clutch....now for body filler

peckm888

nice man. project coming out nice. looks like a lot of work. stay strong and get that thing on the trail. it will be fun

83

What did the problem end up being with the clutch bleeding?

yotaboy82

thanks peckm888, and 83....do you know the spring on the clutch fork to hold up against the slave cylinder...well i put the spring on backwars and it was pulling it away from the cylinder

83

Ah, yes and no. My truck does not have that spring...does it connect inside the tranny housing? If that's the same one, it's one the Haynes manual talks about and it got me all worried because I hadn't noticed it and had put everything back together without it, but I'm pretty sure my truck just doesn't have it...Or if it's supposed to have it, I'm missing it..

Didn't have my FSM back then, so I'll have to check to make sure I shoudn't have it!

Glad you got it figured out.

lookin good ...
That asphault works awesome ...

yotaboy82

83, my spring was right on the out side it conected right to the fork and then to the motor mount.....but i took it completly off and now my clutch works even better

slacker, ya thats what i herd also, it was sucks a pain in the ars to work with thoes as it was SOOOO goopy, i have it on the frame, and under the cab, i am also gonna use it to seal some small screw hols left in the floor....



ok so i had the toyota outta the shop today and was romping it in the field behind my school and i was quite impresses with it, i had no doors, fenders or hood, cause i need new fenders and doors baddd but i am in the prosses of buying a 1980 toyota short box 2wd pickup, that i am going to take the doors, hood, fenders and box, and round headlights for on my 82....then going to park it, until i can get my box, doors and stuff from cali and put it all on the 2wd

yotaboy82

well, today was a HUGE moment for me......fired up the toyota threw it into gear.....this would be the first time it drove....let off the clutch and went for a little rip around the school man it drove so nice...but one thing, motor ran fine idleing and at higher rpm but it would bog when i would step on it....i could only give it SMALL throttle imputs or it would bog...help?

4banginRunner

My 79 did the same thing when I romped on it. With an easy and steady foot I can throttle it up, never was able to smash the throttle and have a response.

yotaboy82

hmmmmmm maybe its cause i have like 4 year old gas lmao and i am gonna get new gas, rebuild carb, and give it some seafoam
