1/4-28 is the actual size of the threads, 1/4" diameter...but 1/8" pipe is bigger, actually about 3/8" diameter threads...and it's a tapered pipe thread. Not sure about AD trucks, but TF trucks use p

Here's yet another point of view... GM started using the HEI on 75 models (earlier on some Caddies) because they had to warranty emissions systems for 50,000 miles...and they didn't want to have to c

That tranny may be a SuperTurbine 300, which is a 2 speed, based on the Powerglide design, but in a case that looks more like a TH 350. Are there 4 bolts holding on the tailhousing? Does it have a v

If you have hydraulic lifters, you need to pay attention to what the lifters are doing. They will bleed down if you keep tightening the nut, and you can still turn the pushrod, even though you have t

It's been a couple years since I did this swap, but generally you want to use the 1973 thru mid 1980s type GM internal regulator alternator. There are 3 wires to connect on the alternator...the big

Wow, that sounds like a fun project! Since you asked, I think it should definitely have a big block in it...that's a big truck to have to move around. I assume this is the "forward control" chassis,
