No. You were just flushing out the old oil. Good job.

Actually, it did need to be flushed. The needle valve in the carb got stuck open and dumped gas in the block.

It has been a long day. Got the motor and trans installed and bolted down then moved on to the cab. Beginning to look like a truck again.

Cool truck, I've never seen a bell housing with the clutch fork on the passenger side though, I'm confused

Installed a quick fuel 450 carb. 283 is much happier moving down from the tired Holley 600.

How did you strip the pint? Did you sand or chemical strip? Funny I was standing my doors yesterday because I'm gonna get resdy to paint them Krylon Champaign Nuevuoe to imitate the light fawn, while I was standing, I was thinking, this is going to take way too long.

I got the cover from classic industries. I've been work on a guys 62 impala and had him buy it for me for payment for the work. Fit good. I didn't do to bad for my first time doing a cover. i didn't trim my filler close enough and that is the bulge on the drivers side top. But i'll get it better. I did find out the seat is not a 64 seat. had a tag on the frame on it that said May 19, 1961.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Worked on installing new bearings in the Cad 500. The thrust went out due to a high pressure transmission problem, which caused issues with the cam bearings.

Sorry about the sideways photo's, not sure why some do this and others don't, they're oriented correctly when I upload.
