John, Sounds like some interesting discoveries on your flywheel. I can't imagine why it would have gotten put together that way. One note on the engine. I have a friend who has a 27 he is rebuilding with the same set up as you where he has a 27 block with a 28 head. He has found he had to custom make a heat stove for the exhaust where the air cleaner attaches and has the tube that runs over the carb otherwise with the 27 block which doesn't have the crank case venting to the carb that he doesn't get enough air flow and he runs lean on his engine. I'm no expert but when you get to that point if you have issues...... Maybe someone else will have some wisdom. I was going to ask it over on the vcca site also. As promised here are some shots of the trim that goes over the sheet metal at the back of the cab. Also a couple of pictures of 'Grumpy' coming home and about where the body is at today. Didn't want to highjack your thread with any more than that. I'll send you a pm about any parts you may be able to help me with. Keep up the good work on Peggy's truck! David
