Nothing wrong with craftsman tools. I have a decent sized set of them that make me a decent living. Only drawback to using them at the shop, is having to drive somewhere for replacements. Tool trucks are handy, but pricey.....
Of course, I also have quite a few other goodies that came off a tool truck.
But for a home shop or garage, they are great. If you happen to break anything, it will be replaced.
Lucky guy indeed. As long as she is happy, you'll be happy.

Thought i'd post some pics of me unboxing my Summit Racing Carb, give ya'll a little glimpse of the packaging and what they've included;
The box:
Lots and lots of padding: (Immediately smell what ever they use to test the carb with)
Two gaskets, choke wire, and adapters.
And the pretty girl in all her glory! Dang does this thing shine.
For $260 can you beat it? Excited to get this thing mounted and running.

I'm not well versed with your truck, but does the carb come with a ford at kick down? If your truck is manual, it won't need it. I am asking for my purposes. If the street demon pulls vacuum over 4k rpm, I'll have to switch to a 650.

It has *part* of the kickdown in place, but needs the kit to unlock it. I'm thinking of getting the same carb for the 390 in dad's truck, for when I finally get around to swapping on the intake I bought 2 years ago.......

Looks like someone made out at the Harbor Freight Father's Day sales. I actually have both of those. With as torn down as your truck is, the crane will have no trouble. My experience was different. I had to finesse it at about 8' in the air to go over the radiator support.

One problem I have with my shop crane is that the legs hit the front end, like the tie rod, before I get the engine back to where it needs to be. I don't have the HF unit. In fact, I built my own, but it is much like that one, although it might have larger casters. Anyway, just check that out before hoisting the engine as it is a pain to raise the truck to get the legs under.
