Wow dont know why I even looked anywhere else. I found a couple of his catalogues in my garage dated like 01. I bet that is where my dad got a new carb and other miscellanies things from right when he bought both trucks.

I also just read your truck "bio". Nice truck and awesome story! That 216 with a 4 spd really goes 70MPH? I cant get my '51 with the same drivetrain to go above 50! Maybe I have a lower gear ratio in the rearend? About to put some 235/75/R15's on (stock was 215/75/R15) so that should help a little.
