Been away for a while, but it’s been slow progress. Here’s a few pics of what I’ve done so far I washed down the firewall and chassis, degreased everything, scuffed with a wire wheel and painted. probably can’t tell from the pictures, but the firewall is semi gloss black and the chassis is satin black.
I’ve got new front leaf springs and I plan to rip out the axle and rebuild the kingpins in case anybody was wondering why I didn’t pay any attention to that yet.
Does anyone happen to know the size of bolts to mate an in-line six 250 to a TH 350 transmission at bell housing and also the size for flywheel to torque converter bolts? I’m getting ready to pair those two together and drop them between the frame rails.
3/8 course X 1-1/4 or 1- 1/2 is what I think goes in there. measure the thick ness of the spots the bolts go through the bellhousing and add 1/2 to 3/4 and use lock washers.
