Yep - I just spent a little over an hour in Napa with parts, pics and parts catalog and no luck with them. I thought it was time to come to the real experts..lol

Its time to tackle the front drum brakes on my 1971 800b 2wd with the FA4 I-beam front axle. I pulled the fronts hub and drum today (as they came off as one piece?). My questions are; 1) Has anyone found a replacement for the 9x2 drum with 5x4.5 lug nut pattern? 2) The local part suppliers...

Thanks for the replys. I ran the truck on that tank until the level was low enough to pull the sending unit. As I was pulling the unit out it felt like it was stuck on the pick up line. I tested the unit and it checked out (see pics). I was getting 78 ohms empty and 12 ohms full. When i put...

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I need empty that tank and pull the sending unit to test. I will post when I empty that tank.

Here are the meters Im using to run these tests.

I installed new poly tanks and sending units over a year ago. When I received my sending units I tested them like I have read on this message board (10ohms empty 73 full). The drivers side registers with the gauge although it never reads full. When I fill the tank all the way up it will read...

Ok that makes sense to me. I just finished the install and that's where I put the bushings for those spots. Thanks for the response.

I have a question regarding the driver and passenger body bushings. I'm in the middle of replacing these and was following Ronnies tutorial. He said there was one body bushings on the floor boards on both sides. My PO welded new floor pan over the heads so I need to cut opening to get to...

The soft top has all the brackets and hardware except the bolts at the windshield. But you use the same bolts that you would use for the hardtop or the half cab. I bought my Scout with this top on it so I don't know if all the hardware is original but it seems complete as the top worked great...

I saw on another post you were interested in some side markers and gaskets. I have a 71 800B and replaced my side markers with LED's. I have the side markers and gaskets with 3 of the 4 lenses for $125. If you are interested I can send you a photo of them.

If it runs by pouring gas in the carb I would get a gas can and drop a line from the pump to the can. If it runs from that point at least you know your pump is pulling fuel and the problem is probably fuel line related or a tank issue. If it doesn't run check the line from the pump to the carb...

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the reply. Marc

Now that we know which side of the carb its on and what it is - does it need to be capped? Does anything need to be attached to it? Marc

I have two pictures of a port on my 71 800B. The port is in the middle of the photo to the left of the carb. The second picture is zoomed in. Can someone tell me what it is for? Does it need to be capped? Any information would be great. Thanks Marc

I just finished installing the Bestop bikini top and I'm happy with the results for the price. I purchased the top 52508-01 ($46.99) and the channel 51209-01 ($11.99) from 4 Wheel Parts. Both items were in stock. I called Bestop to get the measurement of the top and was told it was 55"x44.5"...
