I am doing a 100% Frame-Off Restoration of a 1950 5 Window 1/2 ton PickUp (3100 series). Rolling Chassis is now completed (sandblasted, painted, new: suspension, brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, kingpins, hydraulics, upgraded diff. to 3:55/1, & new exhaust system). Will pick up rebuilt 216 engine next week. Will change out 3 on the column tranny to a 4 speed floor shifter.
QUESTION: what is the procedure to install bellhousing & clutch? Do I have to install the B.H. first & then turn the engine manually to install the flywheel & clutch?
