Alright lets start off with how i ended up with 2 red 1965 short bed with 240s and 4 speed. so about 8 years or so ago my grandpas truck went to reno nv to be restored by my cousin (who is actually how i got turned onto this site) he did a amazing job built a killer truck. so i decided i would take his left over parts and build me a truck so about 2 years ago i went to reno from ks swaped him a 460 for the 240 and picked up some of his left over parts. then a year later we find this other truck in reno almost a carbon copy of what our grandpas truck was orignally so for $500 we pulled the trigger on it and it set at his buddys tow yard in reno for a year. but im glad to say today it arrived at my house. so i have one truck that is totally together and one that is completly apart. i have no clue how i am going to build either one i think for now the goal is to get both of them together and running. pics will come just as soon as i figure out how to post them

alright been a fast two days. had no fire pulled timing cover gears are fine had new gaskets so think the motor has been rebuilt. pulled the distributor pin that holds the gear to the distributor was broke and distributor was locked so pulled it replaced it. she had a electric fuel pump half way installed so got her running off that just to hear it fire started up ticks like a clock.
