well i worked in the garage for quite a while today, got the new rear tires on the new rims and installed. Finished removing the old oil pan and replaced witht he new painted one. Cleaned and painted starter and flywheel cover and installed. Put together front springs with gaskets and installed bushing and painted the front axel. Looks like itll be on its own wheels tomorrow or thursday, then its time to tackle 12v conversion

Heres a kinda off topic, but kinda on topic. Can you get a upgraded distributer that doesnt use points for your truck? With going to twelve volt it might be an asset to upgrade stuff like that.

it's not necasseary from 1955 till 1972ish points were used on 12 volt, Even some 302s used points yet..
There are so many ignition systems now for Flatheads as well as any other older motor anything is readily avable for a decent price.
so in short answer Yes.
