Re: What did you do to your truck today!
ole dollor now has a auto trans , instead of granny 4 speed, had to get a 153 tooth flex plate instead of the 168 tooth i had, starter is said to be a big block starter, put in a lokar auto floor shift its a 16" shifter. sure glad i did not get the 23" one...got all the odds and ends finished and took it out for a drive, when i stop trying to stomp a hole in the floor board trying to find the clutch it will be better, i drove about 45 miles and no leaks or noises. i think i am going to love it better than i did...and a few pic's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove it for the first time in a few weeks. Hope to do more than keeping it sorta lubed by running it once every few weeks, maybe a camping trip is in my future; my wife is asking about our 32nd anniversary plans...

No, Silly!
Once you climb in, you pull them into the cab and put 'em in your pocket.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
did not take any pic's of the install, just the th 350 painted , and the pic. of the 168 tooth flexplate that i put in and was to big. it started life as a granny four speed and i changed it over to a auto, it still has the 292 six cyl. its hard to get parts for the 292 and a lot of trial and error. but its back on the road after about 3 weeks of ordering parts and waiting on them to come in, the only pic i took of the install was after it was in and through the floor, need to take some sense i got the floor shift in and the a/c moved back to the middle of the dash.and all back together, also put in a new am fm radio. the old one was no good from the day i put it in. i do like the auto better that the old four speed, old knees need an auto....

Started a build thread. Check my signature.
Got the pilot bearing for the flywheel mounted, and finished re mounting the tank, compressors and lines closer to the cab. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Order up a copy of the "1969 Chevrolet GMC Truck Shop Service Repair Manual Book Engine Drivetrain OEM" today. Very excited as I love to tinker but I am no mechanic. This should help a lot in my journey I think. Ebay for $23.58
