It was either the flywheel(requires removal of the flywheel cover or plate) or the bottom pulley on the engine, which from my experience is very hard to turn under a 50 something year old truck. Also, huthip, if you ever get frustrated with this project, just remember this. I'm 14, and in one year(with countless offers of help through this site, I wouldn't even have my truck in my yard right now if it wasn't for the generous and caring people here) I have gotten my '54 running, stopping, and basically road worthy minus the rot out on the floor boards. My truck had sat since '88 when the brakes failed, so if a 14 year old with limited access to tools can do it, you can! grin
