Success.

Got the engine and transmission back in today, started up and ran fine. I have some temporary old plug wires and distributor caps on the engine now since my correct wires have not shown up as of yet.

Now starts the process of assembling the radiator and sheet metal. Looking forward to driving it.

Got most of the sheet metal on, very close to completion but shoot me the next time I think I should deal with the sheet metal without the help of another person to align. The parts on the trucks are much larger and unwieldy than the pickups and or cars. Lots of bolts that have to be correctly aligned in order to get the desired results. I needed 6 arms to hold the bolts, nuts and position the various pieces. Took much longer than I thought. Still have some more bolts and alignment to go, maybe I will get it done next weekend.

Also the new radiator(n.o.s.duel core option for 41) is much larger and will require some extra hose elbows to make it work. I guess back then you could just drop by your local Ford Dealer and pick that stuff up for pennies on the dollar but I will have to make do with some other N.O.S. stuff to make em work.
