Stevejumpr offered to help but I thought the wife and I should bond with the '48. It was a little dicey because the truck is outside on a sloping driveway. The leveling lifting attachment I borrowed from a friend really, really helped. He also has a tranny jack which will come in handy for the 4-speed.
If I feel this good after just dropping the engine in, I can't imagine what it will be like when it starts!!!
1948 3/4-Ton 5-Window Flatbed Chevrolet 34 Years. Now with a '61 261, 848 head, Rochester Monojet carb, SM420 4-speed, 4.10 rear, dual reservoir MC, Bendix up front, 235/85R16 tires, 12-volt w/alternator, electric wipers and a modern radio in the glove box.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

the installation of the trany and hold your tools.
I tell you it's a great feeling when the first puff of smoke comes out of the tail pipe.
Soon you will be roaming around the country side. | | |
