This truck was completed in February 1990, but has had a lot of changes since. It now has 50,000 miles and pulls the fifth wheel most every where it goes. It has a 302 GMC with McGurk 5 carb log manifold, everything else is made by owner, valve cover, side cover exhaust headers, oil filter etc. It now has a close ratio 3 speed transmission, 55 and later gears in 37 case, tail shaft was shortened and re-splined and the front of the case bored out to use a larger bearing so the larger clutch gear will go through. The truck uses a 1937 car rear end with 1952 3:56 gears. All 5 carburetors are used with 3 primary and 2 secondary progressive linkage. A 39 Buick 5 core radiator is used for cooling.
