Ok. So, after looking at both your guys rear suspensions, I have determined someone added a pipe spacer and flat plate to the Side plate that sticks off the rear block. At some point the suspension was overloaded and bulged the frame out do to not having the factory travel the extra pipe piece takes up. I think I can fix it but these are some odd looking rear blocks. I don't have much of a body left but the drive trane is all intact and the 292 turn over freely with the plugs out. I think she will run again. I need to start a build thread but it is going to take a few years to get this thing going. I have three other trucks to make this one. I just need a good long bed or make this a K30 flatbed.

What do you guys think of the new air cleaner set up? Got a tuning kit for the carb and tuned her down a bit it came out running real nice i'm happy with it the gas mileage should good up for sure. New alternator and oil change as well!

if you have any info to share it would be great and could one of these even fit on a 79 350?

[KroAutomotiveInc]

well it seems that the adapter for the 79 350 would work i'm thinking maybe the P.O had this adapter kit for some reason and shoved her in there.

I love my 6 banger!!!!

your telling me man!!!

I finely got this ol ***** running down the road again. Finely got the oil filter adapter issue settled it ended up needing the right one for its year and some where down the line one of those canister adapters got installed poorly, i also went ahead and changed the oil pan and fuel pump gasket they had as much silicon coming out of them as the oil filter adapter did. The oil pan gasket i bought was amazing it was a one piece dry install gasket worked like a charm!

I also got the hard line done from the pump to the carb it looks so much nicer, now for the tank to the pump!

After everything was said and done i took her for a little spin and she preformed perfectly it is unreal the difference in the carb i kicked the jets down a few and put some new metering rods in, i was also getting gas leaking past into the motor from a high float level so you can imagine the difference i'm experiencing from a week ago you would of though i had a race motor in this thing HAHAH...
