I am.....Earl's new tranny is in the garage, car show tomorrow, so I'm planning on 'gutting' him on Sunday. Pondering where I'm gonna get some offset dowel pins in case the bellhousing runout is out of tolerance...... ???

Good luck Mike - check for rust under the battery mount on the radiator support, inner fender wells, floor pans, cab mounts, rockers, cab corners, bottom of the doors, bottom fo the front quarters behind whel wells, ..... at least those are what we had to fix over the years. I guess I should have said look everywhere !
Thanks Phil, the truck ended up not quite as nice as the seller had "implied" (go figure). The truck was mostly there, but what he described as "just a little rust in the pass cab corner", turned out to be basically a parts truck in my opinion. Told him I wouldn't pay what he was asking and he said he wouldn't take what I was offering, so I am still looking

offset pins worked on one of my engines ,
then the next one i needed to use weld on style to move bell housing even more

One good thing about those trucks is parts are plentiful, either in the junkyard or catalog houses.
Got a Facebook message from Clarence Barnes, he said he will be on PT this year. :D
