Next things will be bolting the carb on and figuring out the shift and kick down linkage. Then power steering parts and bolting the brake booster and master cylinder on.
Radiator and distributor are supposed to be here Thursday.

New Holley 600. It is probably a little big for the motor but it is what I have right now.

Re: La Crosse- 1960 GMC Custom

I used an aftermarket kickdown for my 283/350TH. Works great. Got it from Speedway maybe?

I might go that way if I can't get what I have to work.

Re: La Crosse- 1960 GMC Custom

In between the rain we have had the last couple days I was able to get the brake booster and master cylinder bolted on. Still need to work on the push rod.
Also bolted the Holley on. Had to use a 3/4" spacer because the linkage was hitting on the intake.

Crossed a few more items off the list. Will be running soon.
Still need trans cooler lines, fuel line from tank to pump and some wiring.

Thank you
For the alt we just ordered one for a 73 c10 so it would be internally regulated.
I will get the belt numbers tomorrow.

Re: La Crosse- 1960 GMC Custom

Today I removed the old choke and throttle cables and put the plug back in the hole.
While I was under the dash I saw a key hanging in the heater duct. I got them out and one is for the truck and the other was for the gas cap.
They must have fallen down the defroster vent.
And here are some pics with the gauges that we installed on the weekend. Not sure if I will keep the chrome bezels/face plates.
