My custom home made truck
Let me welcome you to The Blood Hound! All around awesome little custom truck from the frame to engine and the awesome work bed gives er that thick rear end. Started its life out as a factory power steering, v8 automatic on the column truck with a rotten cab and no bed, in the dismantling stage, gave a great frame and foundation to build off of. Also with my favorite year with no side marker lights, 1967 910 long bed. Now you add in a 67 sm420 1 ton transmission, 1976 v8 out of a corvette, with a 72 5 ton cab. Mix it all together with tons of fab work to give you this beast. Plus as you already see the bed is being put to work and getting the job done. Those big old dogs ear of a mirror on either side of this work farm truck gave it its name and puts much love behind the wheel with this thing teaching me much of the fabrication trade. https://youtu.be/R4SeveZ-OfM

Re: My custom home made truck
SM 420 would have been the same for 1/2 Ton thru 1 Ton [and bigger]. '67 was the last year for SM 420. SM 465 teplaced them on most production lines in 1968. Very similar. Both bombproof. 420 is slightly shorter, and lower gears are even lower than 465's. I am told.

Re: My custom home made truck
Super. Every one saved is great to me. From rusty drivers, to workers, to high end builds. I appreciate them all.

Re: My custom home made truck
You can pull the cover off the diff and read the values stamped on the gears, but that's messy, and costs you a new gasket [or RTV] and a couple quarts of 90 weight. Or you can put the read end up on jack stands and count the number of turns on the driveshaft for every complete turn of a rear wheel.
Easiest way is to read it on the SPID but that's not possible with a Frankentruck.
