Ice,
Years ago I had a 1977 GMC 3/4 ton with a limited slip rear end, which acted like what you say posi traction does. It had clutches that would get sticky and chatter is you did not change the oil as recommended or use an oil additive for it. That truck would get you in trouble on a snow covered road with a crown to it if you took off to quickly from a stop. Like, swinging the rear end around and put you into a ditch!
Most of my driving will be on pavement, so I need to do something with this rear end.

I think I'll go to the "Spousal Avoidance Center" (workshop) for a while...

Not so much today, but did some work this week.

Got a piece of wood and stain for the bed:

Wired up and installed guages. Finally have a working fuel and temp gauge:

Added some fresh paint to the rims and got some poor man's spider caps. Not for everyone but I like 'em:

Added about 30 gallons of gas to the F950, took it on a decent 20 mile shakedown, runs good, I'll run it a couple of more times, toss my paycheck into the fuel tank, and hopefully sell her.

I Feel Like A Mere Piker With My Modest Achievement. I Changed The Oil And Completed The Break-In Period On My Rebuilt Y-Block. The Truck Runs Like A Top And Even Turned A Few Heads Today. The Project Is Really Coming Together And I Couldn't Be Happier...............

I finaly got my new 3-core aluminum radiator installed. Two trips to the custom shop to have some aluminum welding done to have this direct fit rad from radiators4less fit. :cussing: Looks good and really helped to clean up the engine bay, old rad looked like it had been installed with baseball bats and hammers.

I dropped off the 4spd Top Loader from the 68 galaxy for a rebuild/refresh when I picked up the radiator. Can't wait to stir from the floor. Off to Summit to order the Hurst shifter and assorted pieces today.
