David -- Not a hijack -- good info sharing!

I got the flywheel off yesterday -- I found that the pressure plate bolts, as well as the flywheel bolts, were hand tight and that there was no clutch disc installed (that's hanging on my wall, too ... and looks new ... wink ). AND the timing marks on the flywheel were off ... Leading me to suspect that the rebuilder didn't have the ring gear or the clutch and just set what he *did* have back on there to send back with the engine and misaligned the timing marks as a flag.

Thanks for the shots of the trim. Did you get replacements or were your originals usable?

By the way ... did you get a wood kit for your cab? If you did, did it have the pieces for the seat base or any of the floor boards?
