Thanks for the replies.Jarge,I have came across pics of your truck already.hope to see you at a show somtime.We live west of Brandon.Hav not got to any Wpg. cruise nites or shows yet.We have a 57 Buick we cruise around in.Manitoba threshermans reuion at Austin is commemerating farm trucks in 2008, so this one will be finished for it, if not sooner.3B little things like needing a short waterpump for a 235 are some of the things I was looking for.I have not been to involved with inlines,so didn't even know there was a short or long one.I guess I was wondering if there was any advatage to upgrading the trans. with the engine. The one out of the1960 should be synchronized, but you would loose the reverse lockout handle.I was wondering about changing the rearend to get a little more speed,as it will be doing more running around than working. Dad had a 46 when I was little, which I kind of learned to drive with,so I know what they were capable of doing,but when I go thru this one,I'm looking for areas of improvement, but still keeping it stock appearing. Jim
