Thanks for the complement, but I wasn't very persistent. The transmission didn't quite clear between the crossmember and the floor. Seeing as how I'm going to have to weld in a new floor anyway, I just cleared a little real estate with a grinder and cutting disk...
I'm working on some of the details to get the truck fired up soon: fuel line, baterry cables, new alternator (the old one had the longer bolt seize to the housing and it would not come out. I even welded a nut to it and the welds would break before the darn thing would even budge), vaccuum line from carb to vac advance, welding in front plate (due to shorter 235 vs GMC motor), replacing rear left wheel cylinder that leaked out every last bit of the brake fluid, bleed brakes, and hang all sheet metal back on rad support. It always seems all those little details take the most time.
I could use some advice on converting the vac line over to just tubing. Is it possible? is it worth the effort? I just dont want to deal with shaping, fitting, and flaring the steel line. I also have a large opening at the fuel entry point of the Rochester. What should go there? Is it a filter of some sort? a fitting?
