Its all covered, so I have an 11" PP and a 10" disc.

I will road test it when my new carb comes in. The new one from advance leaks gas pretty bad so I dont feel comfortable driving it. New one will be in Friday.

4tl8ford,

Took the truck out for the first time yesterday and that transmission you gave me works like a dream! The 10" clutch disc and 11" Pressure plate works good. No more grinding and no more clutch disc getting jammed into the flywheel. My clutch rod clevis is still adjusted WAY in, like so far that the threaded rod stiocks through the clevis almost rubs the "Z" bar but it seems to engage and disengage ok.

As far as my eyeball front end alignment, I need new eyes. It was VERY sketchy and is now at the alignment shop.

Thanks for all your help, all of you!

Ross, Ill get some tomorrow. I think the sun is supposed to shine down all day so I will get the truck all cleaned up and shining.

P.S. Alignment is all adjusted and the truck drives much much better!

Jimmy, you better believe it! It was get 1 thing fixed and then find 2 more things wrong. I need to learn to leave things alone if they arent broken instead of just tearing everything apart just to figure out how it works. As soon as you do that you have a whole new can of worms to deal with.
