I have a 1982 D150 that needs a "truck/van" length dipstick and tube. I am located in eastern NC. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I am glad I jumped on here because I didn't get the push notification that anyone had responded. I was just about to pay for a car one on ebay because the first response said they were the same. The battery cable has a solid heavy wire that is 3ft long and terminates at...

My daughters 1982 D150 battery flipped over and shorted out on the dipstick tube burning it in half! Are all slant six tubes the same? Also the factory positive battery cable has a white plastic connector on a smaller wire and at the starter end it has a black connector on the starter. Is this...

While the bed is off she is getting everything ready for paint.

Thought I would share a little update. We pulled the bed to see why we couldn't get fuel from the tank. Well...

Until we can get some run time I won't know more. Right no the leaking radiator is the priority after fuel system. Still need to drop the tank and clear the lines or run new ones. Can't even blow through the lines with shop air, clogged solid. Then radiator which is leaking pretty good. Since I...

Thanks guys. It is the Holley carb. Rebuild kit ordered. I will also replace the PCV valve as it looks original. New calipers, pads and hoses for the front and turned rotors. Alternator stopped working and it is the voltage reg. New one going on today. We ran it for about an hour the other day...

Yeah, we have had the truck two weeks. There are a lot of things that we will have eventually. Thanks for the input.

:lol: Well I guess so. I figured someone had the factory manual that would list the part for the lean burn 3.7.

Some of you guys may have already spotted the welcome post, so I don't want to bore you with that. Feeling the Pain What I need is help with the carb. The truck runs great except the accelerator pump in the carb is dead, which I kinda expected. She needs a little shot of carb clean for a first...

On her second drive the right brake caliper locked up tight. I expected that after sitting for so long. New calipers will be in Monday and we will freshen up the brakes. The accelerator pump in the carb is not working so you have to really feather the pedal to keep it from dying. Thanks for the...

It was in Zuni Va. My daughter took her first little drive.

I wouldn't be surprised. The owner had passed away and his son said it had been parked where we found it 20 years before. He said his dad told him it needed a head gasket. We have run it for a half hour and got to full operating temp and runs fine. The radiator starts leaking when it gets hot...

Fixed the fusible link and cleaned the ignition switch connector and we have spark and wipers!

Bodyperson, we have not had a chance to wash the engine yet...but soon!

Jpar, that was the first test we did and no power. I found a post on this site by @my68barracuda that had a wiring diagram for the lean burn /six. Circuit J10A is the 12v key on power to the coil and many other items that need key on power.

We brought it home and turned it off to work on the fuel system. Went to start it back up and no spark!!! Upon further investigation we have the wiring nightmare these trucks are known for. The fusible links are trash, the one to the wiper switch is rotted completely away. Anyway right now I...

The truck has zero rust other than patina and no dents at all, yep completely straight. After soaking the engine freed up and a new fuel pump and she fired up!

Thanks guys! The truck sat for 20 years. I will post video of the recovery. The cab and bed were completely filled with "stuff". The engine was locked up from sitting so we pulled the plugs filled the cylinders with pb and set out to clean the cab. Cab was completely stripped and new window...

@my68barracuda I have a 1982 D150 slant that lost spark. I have no power to the coil. Thanks for posting the wiring diagram, though I still can't seem to get 12v key on or start?

Hey guys, I have been cruising these page for the last two weeks after buying my 15yo daughter her first "car". We picked up a 1982 D150 with slant six and 904 tranny. The truck sat for Nearly 20 years when we dug it out of the ground. Looking forward to your help and encouragement as we get...
