Howdy Hounddogs and Doug.
I was thinking today I need to get some pictures of it.
I'll post some very very soon.
I didn't mention earlier that it is a long bed fleetside,
and it has a tach, some kind of special headers and an A/C accel thing mounted on top of the distributor. The seller said it was used for 1/4 mile drags by the guy he bought it from last year. I'd think it must have had a different tranny because that granny 4 speed is slow to shift. It might be a lot better after I adjust the clutch, it barely disengages and tries to creep forward at an idle even with the clutch all the way to the floor.
I thought I was pretty good with a wrench during the 60's and 70's, but working ungodly hours for the last 30 years at a Goodyear building Earthmover tires and driving newer boring vehicles has made me a bit rusty. I never had time to tinker and was on 6 day work weeks the entire time.
Now I have time to play.
The exhaust on this truck stirs something in my soul.
Technical question ... shouldn't I be able to tap out the stripped mounting bolt on the P/S pump and put an insert in it instead of having to replace the entire pump???
