ArdWrknTrk Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I also rolled under the back of the truck to have a look around. I need to get a spare tire bracket. Also noticed brake fluid on the back of the wheel and tire. The lines are fine so must be the wheel cylinder. Ordered 2 of those and some Ford brake fluid. Are you sure it's brake fluid and not gear lube from a bad axle seal? Is your master cylinder empty? Are you looking for the cross piece 'sling' that I recently rebuilt on my truck?

JG2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I don't think you would have that problem with 'made to fit Ford' belts, like you did with the random 'universal fit' ones.Couldn't hurt to call customer service, if George can't help you.Great. Maybe that's an option also. Maybe I can get this resolvedtoday. I sure wish there were some pick a parts left by me. I knowthere are a couple out in PA still.Those were the days.

JG2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Are you sure it's brake fluid and not gear lube from a bad axle seal?Is your master cylinder empty?Are you looking for the cross piece 'sling' that I recently rebuilt on my truck?The brakes feel great and are supposedly new. I will check the Mastertoday. It sure felt and smelled like brake fluid.Yep, the cross sling. I don't want the spare in the bed. I am lookingfor a cap for it also and like the room to throw my kayaks in for somefishing.

85lebaront2 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Josh, i may have seatbelts. I have an 88 parts truck, they may still be there. I can let you know 88 is different, 1987 on the retractors are at the bottom of the locations and they come up, then through a guide about where the 1980-86 retractors are.

Bill, I don't think Josh needs the Retractors, just the latch/buckle side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Bill, I don't think Josh needs the Retractors, just the latch/buckle side.Correct! I have the original retracts in place. I just need the passenger and driver receivers.

85lebaront2 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Those should be the same, I don't think much of that changed until a lot newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Wyatt Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Those should be the same, I don't think much of that changed until a lot newer. My new wiper switch from RA arrived in the mail yesterday so I installed the wiper governor I had recently picked up. It would only work when the switch was turned to high though. I opened it up to check for bad solder joints but found none. I started lightly tapping it and was able to get it to make one wipe at a time. I determined that the problem was in the relay, so I removed the cover and cleaned the contacts and it now works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
