Need some help. When I disengage my parking brake, the springs don't seem to have enough strength to pull the cable back through and release the brake band from the drum (it's a transfer case mounted parking brake). I've pulled the cable out of the truck and soaked it in evapo-rust to try and make t...

If anyone has any time to do some measurements for me, I'd appreciate it. My parking brake clamp on my 64 W 200 is not releasing when I release the lever. The cable is moving within the coiled metal sleeve, but not very well. I'm wondering if the two springs on my parking brake clamp behind the tran...

Guys, thanks for the help on this. Hopefully I'll get it registered here in a few weeks and be legal.

Just moved back to Austin, Tx and have to register/pass inspection on my 64. I'm in a county (Travis), that requires emissions, but it looks like I don't have to do the emissions test due to the age of the truck, can anyone confirm that? Does anyone know if registering as a classic or antique affect...

There's a 62-64 SWB in a junk yard here and the spare tire carrier that was on it matches the picture you posted.

Did you happen to make a drawing of the part you fabbed up?

Ok, just wanted to make sure I descrbed it correctly.

And just so I'm clear, by hydraulic I mean it has clutch master cylinder on the firewall, rigid hydraulic line down to the bell housing, and slave cylinder on the bell housing.

Thanks again,

Buddy

Got it,

The truck is a 64, the 383 is a 69, and it's a hydraulic clutch. Thanks to both of you for helping me sort this out, I still have a TON to learn on this thing!

Thanks again,

Buddy

You're right, I think it is on the bell housing. Makes sense that the trans doesn't matter. Motor is a 1969.

I need a dust cover for a 383 RB with a 4 speed. First, I think the 4 speed that I have is an NP 435, can anyone tell me a good way to make sure that it is?

Also, anybody have one if I do, in fact have that combo?

Thanks,

Buddy

I've been working on the Toyota power steering box swap on my 64 W200, I'll post some photos of the installed box, pitman arm, etc. a little later. The truck has 383 that was put together in 1969. The problem is, the power steering pump pulley doesn't line up with the crank pulley. It's off by about...

First time to post on the site, I've been reading a lot and found a lot of good info, so I thought I'd join. I have a 64 W200 short bed. It looks like someone took a section out of the frame to shorten it (116" wheelbase). But looks to me like they did a good job. The parking brake drum is missing t...
