Well here it is my Frankenstein creation! I bought this truck on ebay, it's obviously not a real Macho, but a 1975 Dodge Power Wagon. Here is the ugly...
License plate area needs a light
Driver's side turn signal and front marker are burnt out
There are three brake lines which need replaced in the front of the truck
The rear brake cables are also bad and the parking brake does not work
The vehicle had a four inch lift, however the drive shafts were never prepped for the lift, so the front drive shaft is hanging out of the front dif.
The rear axle of the vehicle needs realigned
The body mounts on the vehicle are in upside down and two are missing in the front end
The tie rod wasn't installed properly and the tie rod ends are shot
The vehicle needs a front end alignment like you read about, alot of slack in the steering
The truck needs axle seals
The vehicle will require catalytic converters in order to pass PA's requirements
The exhaust needs hangers
The EGR Valve is disconnected
The vehicle has no working horn
The speedometer cable is inoperative
The transmission has a leak possibly around the gasket area and was missing a bolt, I already replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets and tightened the collectors.
The KC lights needs reinstalled as a result of shipping
The vehicle has no working window washers or resovoir
The vehicle begins to stall out when accelerating
and The vehicle has a bed from a 1978 Dodge truck, a fender possibly from a 1978 Dodge truck, and I think that is about it. Goofing thing is I still love the truck and I think it will be great once I fix everything, but man what a list.
If anyone has any suggestions for my project other than setting it on fire and hope for the best please let me know. Thanks
