Re: '68 C20 396 4sp Utility ...resurrection :)

Thanks for posting all this info!!!
You've inspired many here to possibly build a utility truck as a driver, I like the idea, and your direction!!!
I hope the condition of the engine is good enough to use on a regular basis.
When I get my big 6 (396, LOL) going, I plan to use a later Quadrajet with an electric choke.
I was wondering about your plans on the brakes? half tons (like mine) had 11X2 drums, front and back, and are sketchy at best (my C10 will get converted to disc). 3/4 ton trucks however had larger drums and shoes. I don't nkow if theres a measureable feel of improvement in the braking of 3/4 ton brakes...or not. I gues theres parts available to convert 3/4 tons also???
Don't throw that old air cleaner away, they are not common. Thene on my 68 396 is sketchy...

I'm thrilled that you have a 68 Golden, also. Will be looking forward to your work on it, as well.
Thanks
Jeff
