Re: Minnesota II
Nice bike there Glenn....I won't tell anyone ;)
I've been working on a $400 bike myself lately - '81 CB650 Custom. It's got many issues but they're going away one by one. Took the carbs apart and...

Re: Minnesota II
Lol Glenn I think you and I are on the same page in this debate. Selling a truck because it needs a fuel pump or an alternator is a head-scratcher for me. Maybe it's just my poverty showing but I...

Re: Minnesota II

Re: Minnesota II
Well I finished truck camper v2.0 today! The first one in the Ranger was an unqualified success, so I am doing round 2 in the 150. More room to sit up in this one and more width for 2 people.

Re: Minnesota II
I called Elk River Ford since they're the closest to me. Doesn't really matter, I found a reservoir yesterday at the junkyard. I'm going to another location today to see if I can find another one...

Re: Minnesota II
My vacuum reservoir came in at the Ford dealer....I had a co-worker stop by there and pick it up for me, but they ordered the wrong part for crying out loud. It looks like the vacuum reservoir off...

Re: Minnesota II
I didn't do the fuel filter but it's on the list of next steps. Like I said, I don't think the truck has had any real maintenance love in quite a while....it was for sale for quite a bit of time and...

Re: Minnesota II
