Awesome! What clutch did you end up going with?

 

[ken6881]

Haven't ordered anything because I wanted to make sure this is the final route I am going.

And it is

Going to run a 14" dual disk push type clutch from a dump truck with a pilot bearing for this pilot on the input, and an AK-208 spacer plate on the dt360 flywheel.

Bullet cams is grinding me a can for it
Still waiting on the machine shop. For bottom end. Working on dash swap and fitting trans to floor board. Made my short drive line to go from 1610 u joint on trans to 1480 on transfercase. Had to spend 4 hours on a lathe to do it because no one makes the parts to do it. T

Born a healthy 7lb 12oz 21" long. He shook hands with the nurse when she went to see how dialated my wife was and I thought she was going to faint. So they c section him right away would have been a very big baby if he went to term. My wife gets hypertension late in pregnancy with our first and second child but she is fine .

I bet that was a rough day. When I was born, I had to be c-sectioned and the damn doctors didn't wait for the anesthesia to work before they started cutting my mother open. Too worried about the football game or something she said.

Got the old dash out and the wiring stripped from it along with a bunch of crap the previous owner had wired up in he cab best i can tell is he had xm radio, satellite internet, strobe lights under the dash.

Bought a new house and the new baby took a lot of time but I did drive it to the new house. Need to finish the exhaust and air ride sensors, wiring for gauges, and lights. Paint and interior work.
