At that point I started thinking, "this was my dad's truck. I'm not going to let it die like this." So my son and I got to work.

Nah, thank YOU for sharing with us your story and its story. They are both pretty cool. I especially identify with it as mine was my grandfather's truck and will be leaving it to my son so im working on mine like yall are working on yours!

Beautiful truck, another one in the place it should be. With folks who really care and will take care of it.

Will that clutch require changing to a hydraulic throwout bearing?  Or can I use an external that pushes the factory clutch fork and throwout bearing?  The old style pressure plate only has 3 fingers vs the many of the newer style.

For the work involved (not that much) I think I would replace the bolt to see if it's really broken.

I wouldn't even put the nut on at first.

If the motor pitches with the bolt in, then your assumption is correct.

If not, tighten the nut and bolt and go for a ride!

I like that idea.

Look up parts using an 87 R10 350 for MY6 application.

Engine/Drivetrain / Clutch & Flywheel setup

« Last post by Da67goatman on March 31, 2026, 09:12:48 am »

Background:  TBI 350 converted back to carb with HEI distributor along with np833 4 speed transmission from behind a 250ci straight six all going into a 62 c10. I'm in need of some assistance in picking the correct parts to mate the two. 

I have the factory bellhousing with fork but would like to run a hydraulic master/slave setup for packaging.  It has been so long, I have forgotten about the multiple balancing and rear main options that the SBC has and have never dealt with a clutch that wasn't just a kit for that specific vehicle.  I know some of you die hard manual guys have all this stuff figured out so if you could recommend parts, I would be most grateful.

Fuel Systems and Drivability / Re: Why doesn't fuel flow from the tank?

Are you asking if it will siphon itself? You need the pressure differential for it to happen. If you are concerned about flow, perform a fuel volume test from the pump

The resolution should be simple, and may be obvious once you direct your attention toward it in this new day.  Once you remove the c-cam, pay particular attention to the copper brush that rides up against the cam.  With the battery connected, depress the brush a few times using your finger to see what happens.

Was late yesterday when I threw my hands up and said I am done.  I am going to try that today.  I have some other things to do around the yard, then will go back to that.

Thanks
