Wild guess. It might be for a PTO shift selector????

i have no idea, but i have noticed that even the 67-72 trucks have the indent for removal of that part of the floor/hump stamped into them, so maybe pat is is right when he says they are for e-brake levers on the bigger trucks.

oh, i also got the 360 installed today. i didn't take any pics, but i'll get some tomorrow. now i need to get a clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing and get the flywheel surfaced and re-rung. there is about a third of the teeth ate off about half the one i have.

Now that is one smart cab dolly!, looks like you could shave in the under floor!

that is one nice cab dolly. too bad it's not mine. he built it to roll around and then flip up for easy access to the underside.

Could it be there just to identify a "non floor shift" cab???

jason, i really have no clue, but on mine you can see where it has been crudely torched out. so mine wasn't cut from the factory-unless it was training day on the ass'y line. lol

got my flywheel surfaced and a new ring gear installed to day. hopefully sunday will be rain free so i can get my clutch in and trans mounted.
then it's on to brakes and wiring.

oh, and between having the flywheel machined and the clutch kit i now have almost as much $ in that stuff as i do the whole engine. hope i make it to iowa in 2010. lol

can't find my flywheel bolts. think i put them in the can that went with the 71 parts truck. he's looking for them now and hopefully he will find them. so since i couldn't hang the clutch today i put on some bling.

Chris I like the door handle plates.

they are starting to "crack", but not bad for freebies.

you can never have to much original bling ezernut. looking good, keep us updated, Anthony

ezernut9mm · Post by **ezernut9mm** » April 22, 2009, 8:46 pm

that's right anthony. never too much.
well, i found my missing bolts, so that's good.
i started to clean up the bell housing with the scraper, wire brush and some gunk engine degreaser. not bad for twenty minutes with said tools. now it's off to the car wash to finish the job.

When I pulled the 292 from the baby blue parts truck the engine, bell, and tranny all looked like that. I spent a whole 10 hour day and a 12 pack of beer cleaning not to mention $25 worth of cleaners, LOL.

I cheat. When all the gunk is removed from my parts I throw them in the blast cabinet and out comes a ready to paint part. I can't imagine not having my blast cabinet. It is a 2ft X 4ft stand up cabinet. What a time and labor saver it is. I'll post a couple of pictures one of these days.

That would be cool!

i would love to have a blast cabinet. my dad had one, but sold it when he quit his business and never even gave me a chance at it.
