Thanx,Folks ! Old Guy,Low Tech but currently unspoiled or tainted ! I'll be mastering the Digital Photo pics to post. That means an Avatar to boot. My '97 is Bone Stock,Unmodified and Unmolested. I'll be starting with lifting the bed off,and installing a new MTS Poly Tank,along with new FSU and straps. Looks like I'll be dropping in on 'Ol Uncle Leroy for some of his Down Home Texas Fuel Cures,namely the Walbro FRC-10 Lift Pump,with the 30 Micron Pre-Filter prior to the new pump. Yes,Sin of Sins,I'll be detonating the sock off the draw tube,and relying on the filter I can access easily to protect Mr.Walbro.....While the bed's off,it'll be brake line Fest 2015,along with Bilstein "Happy Motoring" Shocks. A little Energy Suspension addition,and a probable Diff Rebuild. (Whew,taking a breath!)
I'll be taking my time with this,and paying as I go. My Logic and Rational for Rebuilding the Old Road Warrior is Simple: I Love The Damn Thing ! The other end of it is I want to toss my cookies every time I look at the Sticker of a comparable new truck,and I don't want all the Al Gore Accessory Packages that they're shackled with !
I'll be starting a New Thread regarding all of this,so as to stay On Topic,and On Target regarding my endeavours(I think that's French for"Up To Your Neck In It"!)
Again,thanx for the Very Warm Welcome,and even Warmer Forum ! I've got alot of Archived Reading to do here first,but You will see my Old Codger Butt around ! Believe it or not,I'd like to know what I'm looking at before I would make the mistake of posting a Pile Of Redundant Questions. Making You Crazy Just 'Aint In The Play Book !!
