If you buy the adapter for the spin on filter, get a quality one.
If I can still get the canister style, I think I will leave well enough alone for now.
And thanks for the the gasket advice tcrist.

Re: '69 GMC resuscitation

I was reading the 70 Custom Camper/20 (Newbee) thread and want to see if I understood 68350's post about the rear end. If I did understand then what is on my truck (the photo below) is a Dana 60.
Anyone agree or disagree?
I tried to salvage the build sheet from under the bench seat and it is in tatters but I do see on one piece "9516QD 3.54 RATIO" but the next word seems to be "CHANGE". Anyone know enough to decode what this is telling me?

Re: '69 GMC resuscitation

Loaded up today, knocked a lot of dried mud out of the fender wells, and gave the beast a good rinse.
Bringing it back across the pass tomorrow to start the process of waking her back up.
