Re: Found a surprise in the cab

I haven't been to Columbia in a few years but Sloan Ford has been there from at least the 70's. I'm guessing they are still there.

Re: Pulling my 352

Re: FNG from Texas

A lot of government truck were titled as to date put in service, so a 64 before 12-31-63 would likely be listed as a 63

Re: Torque Converter Question.....

Since it is together, pull coil wire and crank and it will turn pump and put fluid into converter. When first starting I would jack up rear and put in drive. Be sure to use brake before
