The factory spot is behind the intake next to distributor. I pretty sure it’s a 1/8” pipe thread.- Lugnut

Engine threaded bosses
The small threaded hole is left over from the older ram horn style exhaust manifold set-up, it’s where the spark plug heat shields bolted on.- Lugnut

Engine threaded bosses
No o-ring that I have ever seen, I usually just put a little RTV around the dipstick tube where it bottoms out in the block and never had any problems.- Lugnut

Lowered questions
Looks stock, someone may have removed a leaf to lower it a little, but looking at the condition of the threads on the u-bolts and shackles it doesn’t look like it’s been messed with.- Lugnut

Dumping Pickup Bed
Yes, My grandfather bought it new in '76, and it's one of the trucks I learned to drive in. No one else in the family ever cared for it so he gave it to me a few years before he passed. It was his work/farm truck and he never really took care of it that much. By the time I got it it was in...- Lugnut

1979 350 carb into r10 tbi 305 truck
The 87 TBI should have centerbolt valve covers, they weren't vortex heads but have that style valve cover. So yes the TBI intake center holes will be on the wrong angle. Also that will be a 1 piece rear main seal engine, so the flex plate will not swap to the '79 350, external balanced vs...- Lugnut

Dumping Pickup Bed
Yes it was a kit, He told me that he got a big break on the price of the kit if he bought 3 kits. I remember him telling me that he went to Atlanta to pick them up and a couple of his buddies wanted one also. I just barely remember 3 trucks with their beds off in his yard one weekend putting...- Lugnut

Dumping Pickup Bed
My grandpa put this on his truck about 1978, I was about five when he did it. I can’t tell you the times it has been used over the years. A real back saver for sure. This is after I re-bodied it due to an extreme amount of rust.- Lugnut

Depending on what fuel tank (16 vs 20 gal) your truck has you may need a 16 gal fuel tank or 2 if it is double tanked.- Lugnut

CPP Lowered Spindles
Nice looking truck. When I first got my truck years ago I had a similar issue. The p.o. had lowered the truck poorly and it rubbed every time I hit a decent size bump. I installed the CPP modular spindles when they came out. I also at the same time installed their upper and lower tubular...- Lugnut

Corner/Marker Light Behavior
With the headlights off this is correct. The blinker and corner marker will blink on and off together. With the headlights on the parking light and corner marker light will be steady on, With the headlights on and the blinker on, the blinker and corner marker will blink opposite of each other...- Lugnut
