  1. No everything is on the truck just the previous owner wrecked it and something is definitely not right in the front end

  3. I didn't get as much done as planned but I got it in the driveway and jacked up on stands and tires off going to start pulling the head off after work tomorrow... I'll let you all know what I find out about the head gasket when that task is done... but the control arm being bent I can't see any abvious bends or tweeks in the controll arm but I can see that the tire when it's on is out farther on the top then on the bottom like the bottom control arm is pushed in about 2 inches I'll upload pictures if my tablet will let me
  4. I'll get pictures tomorrow when I get the truck moved into the drive way
  5. So far I think I got screwed on this truck radiator was busted fixed that, found out its got an issue with the water going to the oil going to see what the cause of this is tomorrow hopefully. lower left control arm supposedly is bent come to find out that the frame is bent... anybody know if I can use a old toyota helix frame cause my neighbor has one I can get for $50 if it doesn't involve a lot of custom parts and pieces I would do a body swap

  7. Will a carb off of a 1980 510 z20 engine work on a 1979 620?
  8. Yes I knew that my truck has the l20 engine. And any L series head will fit even if it's not a 20
  9. I did not know anything about the timing chain stuff... but if it winds up being warped head or cracked head are there other heads I can use (please be specific on year model info if there are any)... I'd really like to modify the engine for more power while I have it apart any suggestions on what to do there would be greatly appreciated
  10. It was definitely leaking because the radiator was pushed into the fan... I have straightened the top support that goes across the front as much as I can now the fan doesn't hit the radiator
  11. I can't find them on rockauto.com
  12. I'm going to start digging into it this weekend and hopefully it's just a gasket but knowing the guy I got it from he probly drove it for a while and cracked the head or worse
  13. It was leaking when I bought the truck the truck sat for a few years before I bought it the guy hit a deer and then a curb it pushed the radiator into the fan and made it leak I filled it when I bought the truck drove it on a trailer towed it home backed it into a parking spot and went out yesterday pulled the radiator took it to a shop got it today put it back in and then this happened
  14. So I took my radiator to a repair shop yesterday and picked it up today got it in the truck and filled up started the truck and it started blowing smoke out the exhaust then died... I got out checked under the hood to make sure evening was still hooked up and found a puddle of water under the truck but no leak tried to start the truck again and it didn't turn over. I checked the oil and found that some of the water went into the oil so I took the plugs out and found they were full. I'm hoping it's a head gasket but have a bad feeling is worse. Anybody have ideas?
  15. I'm not concerned with the brakes they work great I just need the control arms to get the ol girl back on the road and having a really hard time finding the parts
