  2. HAVE A GREAT TIME , It is actually fun redone my bunk area in oak 1/8 plywood, and put hellsman spar varnish, it is beautiful ! My interior was rotten right down to my wood framing. I'll call my 1983 toy Hunstman the MONEY PIT ! http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000059894165
  3. Please enlighten us as to where on the www you found the new tracks !
  4. WELL lets see the picture of your $ 12.00 3 inch ABS backyard made bike rack !
  5. If it dont have the 6 bolt full floating rear axle , like mine did not you can buy them relitively inexpensive. I paid 200 bucks for my 6 lug, and another 600 bucks to have the 5 lug yanked out and the new to me 6 bolt full float installed, and sold the 5 bolt faux for 150 buxz, to a guy that loves to play in the mud with toy trucks. Gives ya lots of room to get her way down in price ! Just mention the safety concerns, However my ol 5 lug never had a problem at all with 56 k on the clock. Go figure
  6. Awesome Looking good ! what is the name of the frosted film ? Enjoy
  7. Humn, What why go camping if your scared for your life. I figure God will take me when he is ready. So no to your question
  8. 1983 Toyota Huntsman- Totally renovated-Inside

  9. Today is the big day for the motorhome and I. The 2 piece drive shaft is going bye bye, I about fell over backwards when I was quoted the price for the center bearing " carrier bearing" 120.00 dollars. So this got me to thinking call the guy that has been dealing with toy trucks for 40 years. he says heck put a 1 piece driveshaft in your toy , and I have one in the garage for you for 30 bucks. so off I go to pick it up this am. I will let ya all know what the driveshaft came out of, to help others get rid of this split driveshaft. : )
  10. Thank-You Got it all wired back the way it was from the factory and we are now charging You have been awesome explaining everthing to me and the way it is supposed to work. Thanxs much o
  11. Well I must have a few missing brain cells, and it is going to take a picture or a drawing, to understand this white wire. Is this what you are saying is the white wire that goes out of the voltage regulator terminal B goes to the top of the alternator lug B with a inline fuse, then a connection " wire " also comes off that same lug B on the alternator and goes directly to the POSITIVE battery post with a inline fuse, is this correct? Hows about a picture it could surely only help, some times pictures will help it click with people like myself that just dont understand. What size guage is this white wire that we are talking about at the Volt reg and at the alternator to the battery ? PLEASE send a picture or a drawing. Thank-You
  12. I do not understand yet how the white wire at the B terminal on the voltage regulator can go directly to the B lug on the alternator and then to the positive battery terminal. If somebody would like to show me a picture or draw me a picture this would be great. Is all that is happening here is a basic 1983 truck wiring as I have no coach battery or isolator. I bought a chilton and haynes manual but they is not helping me. PLEASE explain. Thank You
  13. Going to push my trip to Oregon off until I can get this thing back to normal with or without a house battery.
  14. Oh yes GRAND it is ! And it appears they had a hand in this wiring. the white and blue wiring has 12.6 volt when the ignition is on or truck is running. the battery is showing 12.77 v at idle, when I turn the lights on radio, wipers etc, it draws the voltage down on the battery to a mere 11.50 v. I am seeing signs of a cut and patch job where a battery isolator or something was attached to the inner fender well, but is no longer there. Can you or anyone help me with finding a new relay type isolator and help me wire this ol girl back to the way she was before someone put there hands in it. Or just get it back to orginal, don't really need the house battery. I have started to read about this to help me understand how it all works, but personal knowledge is most often understood better at least by me : }
  15. THANK-YOU So this wire goes directly to the battery + " Positive " Thank-You Now I have another wire that is in question---it is a white wire with blue dashes- that has also been cut. Iam begining to feel these wires must of went to a battery isolator our something.
  16. The B terminal will be hot at all times you stated # 8 wire, would this be the single wire that goes to a lug on the alternator ? the lug is directly above the other lug that the group of yellow=black-green-white-red wires plug into the alternator.I have tried to upload some pics, but it is not working for some unknown reason, I think I may have to create a account somewhere on the www, to upload some pics if need be. thanxs for you patience and understanding.
  17. We must be talking about 2 two different black wires that come off the alternator, 1 goes to the external voltage regulator and the other black wire is a single wire that mounts directly above the main alternator harness, this wire is hot when the truck is running so it cant be a E or a ground wire. Is it possible that some one has changed the wire to black, from who knows what color. ANY more suggestions appreciated, help I leave for Oregon in 3 days, for some salmon fishing and visiting family
  18. Can anyone tell me where the SINGLE back wire goes to from the alternator on a 1982 1983 or 1984 I am told are all the same. 22 r thank ya Pics would be very helpful
  19. Why, are the wires for the orginal equipment 1983 all ready behind the dash, and just plug and play, or are you going to enlighten us all on how to wire up a tach, to a rig that may not have the wires their.
  20. Thank-You Off I go to the salvage yard again. Maybe I will find even more goodies !
