JUST A little RUST :buttkick:
Probably be a great deal as long as you don't drive it. Someone in your family drive a rollback? Keep that # for ICE:rolleyes:
Outside looks real good:cool:
Get a nylon tool (spoon). Usually comes in a kit for removing clips, plugs, etc. Won't scrape the paint off the metal. Screw drivers are not for this purpose. Amazon or local Walmart or parts store. Usually very inexpensive
Try checking all the vacuum lines if you have not done so. Leaky Vac lines will cause emission problems. Instead of smoke test, just replace them all since they have probably rotted & leaking over the years...
Or use tire balancing beads. My Next light project. Have know Truckers that swear by them since wheel weights get thrown off and better than stick-ons. Lot of guys on other truck forums like them also. Inexpensive to use and can be inserted in valve stem after removing core.
Also check that...
Welcome Bruce. I was driving 80's diesel Fords & '73/'79 Ford trucks before I got my 'Eddie'. Paid $1250 for mine but it needed a little work. Easy to find parts for these at the Pick-N-Pull.
Check LKQ.com or Car-Parts.com
You will need the VIN & axle designation from the tag in the drivers door frame below the lock. You should have quite a few choices in your area. Try for same year & low mileage. Replace the oil before you install & add fiction additive if is a limited slip...
I have the Kenwood DDS 9705S. Does so much. Fit right in my 2004 EB. Crutchfield got me the correct patch cabling to plug right in. Was on sale then (maybe discontinued model) & paid around $475 for everything in 2018.
I don't know how old your tires are, sometimes it doesn't matter, but I would rotate tires + check that one of the front tires is not separating or has balance weight off.
