It's pretty crude in design but simple. re-adjusted it some as i had a problem getting it out of 4wd-h into 2h. seams the noise was because 4h was rubbing 2h(adjust problem) drove it and no noise!!! speedo is off as i don't know what tires came on it. Have 10.50-15"s on it now at 31" tall. also the speedo gear (in the t/f case) is steel, not plastic. took the wife for her first ride yesterday to a PUb/burger house about a mile away. made it back home and the noise never came back. sure didn't want to pull that trans------------
Sweet! Keep killing them bugs!

Pulled the pan off my 292 for another forum member that is receiving it. and the rebuild tag on the freeze plug lone behold was there for a reason. New pistons. Wrist pins and what I think is a .020 over bore on the block or a .20 under for a ground crank. Not sure. But man its clean as a whistle.:metal: she sure was easy on the eyes after a day like today at the shop.

I vote for the flat hood....I like the earlier hood also but they seem at home on the 60-63 trucks, probably because the design carries through to the double hump dash. With that said it boils down to what you like plus you can switch them on a whim when 12 of your buddies come to help lift it :lol:

Thanks 1963c-10--It's not perfect bodywork wise (it was really beat up) but i can live with it as i am not a body man or painter. I just try to do everything myself. I have messed with trucks/cars all my life, and I'm 66 now--so it's been awhile lol! I have been watching your builds and looking good of course. (wish i had a 348 for my tk) like gold out here. looking forward for the rest of your builds.

Thanks.....my bodywork and paint isn't perfect by any means either, but I'm proud of what I've been able to do on my own and it'll get the job done. Should have the stepside wrapped up soon and be able to start on the fleetside. Looking forward to the 348 build....so stay tuned.

Haven't did much on my tk. pretty much done (except rebuild the trans) works ok for now, just a little noisy (the whole drive-train is noisy lol) I did put in a retro sound radio. the red wire is for my walk-man. have to run it in my ash tray.

Just love this sign----------

Nice....I see they have changed their radio design some since the one I bought in 2009.
