Re: 68 chevy c10 project

well i just picked up a sm465 to replace my old one, the one in the truck grinds from 2nd to 3rd i stripped it down and painted it. i also found my clutch bracket i needed off ebay, i paid alot for it 85 buck lol. here are some pics. i should be pulling the old motor soon and cleaning up the engine bay and painting black so ill have some pics soon. oh i bought the tranny for $75, was that too much? it came from a running truck that shifts perfect with no grinds that was parted out, also if anyone is from north cal the guy i got the tranny from has 10 to 15 complete trucks he is parting out and a shed full of parts. here is his ad from craigslist. i think his prices are fair, what do u guys think?
