Re: farm truck rustoration
what an incredible accomplishment you have achieved, with all the tasteful modifications to make your truck truly one of a kind. I am rather limited in my own abilities, and actually pat myself on my back when I change my oil on one of my vehicles without spilling dirty oil on my driveway. I really like your truck.

Re: farm truck rustoration
on my 251, i swapped the bell housing, transmission, ring gear, and starter. used the flywheel and clutch from the 251. installed in a civvy power wagon and used the 6v starter on 12V system. so far, it's working good.
