So cool, did the 60 come with 4.10 ratio in it?
Something clever here.

No, but I got set of new gears off craigslist last year for cheap.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Good deal. You're build is inspiring. When I picked up this big cracker box I said "needs a 12 valve and a manual trans" ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/Resampled_2013-02-22_17-06-43_569_zps85daab6f.jpg) I'd be ok with an auto too, but I'd really like to pluck the 460 someday and drop in a 12 valve (if I keep it)

I hear ya on yanking the 460. I'm really glad I got rid of mine. 9 mpg on the freeway and 6.2 in town was getting old. I'm getting 18 mpg now with the 12v and I haven't done the low stall converter yet. The power this thing puts out is pretty impressive and working on it is a breeze. On another note, I got these finished just in time for snow camping this weekend. ![[Linked Image]](http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy178/Higbean/BC552556-4976-4965-8FDA-106F6BB8A193-12860-000018BC9C25B22C_zps2030369a.jpg)

Man, I am getting so close to being done with the 60 swap! Darn thing has fought me for two weeks. Hoping to have it done next week before we head over to the coast for crab. I've gone through everything on it. I even got the u-bolt kit to get rid of the factory bolts that are upside down and backwards.
I sure appreciate the encouragement fellas. Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me going on this long drawn out project. I keep making progress though. And after our snow camping trip to Lassen, I'm pretty amp'd up about getting her finished. Hell, she won't never be truly finished. But a fella can dream can't he?

Cool rig Higbean. Have been trying to round up a 12v for my '73 F-100, but money and availability never seem to work out at the same time. Having another kid didn't help either.  Oh well, will just hang on to it as is and wait it out. Thanks for all the pics, and that other build thread is cool too.

Had to take my old VW into the shop today. Poor old thing has been sitting a few years. Really a great hunting rig. We put down the windshield and shoot ground squirrels. When it gets slow, we just move up a little. ![[Linked Image]](http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy178/Higbean/E6827D6D-C343-430F-9D41-E6FA5CA0E59A-20117-0000269E58A284A9_zpsb8f7167c.jpg)

[img] http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/...BD-6657-000009921798AAAB_zpsdac46bbf.mp4[/img] Video of last weekends trip home from deer camp cleanup day. It was a great weekend. Rained all day Saturday which made it pretty interesting in a few spots in the trail. Truck did great though. It's awesome to be able to just creep along with all the torque behind the Cummins. The limited slip in the 70 is darn good too. It's also nice not having to worry about getting a distributor wet!
