Put a power brake booster on it and been tightening up some loose ends as I am going to get it running/driving as is with the current 327

Also noticed the hard brake line is busted so I am ordering a all new set of stainless lines and extended stainless steel lines from Inline Tube next week and replacing the sending unit in the gas tank.

Something that concerns me is the clutch won't return maybe the pressure plate is stuck from sitting? All the return springs, etc are hooked up

On the clutch do you mean that the pedal is on the floor? The pressure plate doesn't normally stick unless it goes over center. The clutch disk is what sticks from sitting and in that case it just won't release when you push the pedal down. The pedal still works as it should.

Does it actually release though? Can you have someone roll the truck with the trans in gear and the clutch pushed in? Are you sure all of the linkage is connected? It sounds like the linkage might be disconnected somewhere.

Kalle, I have a 14 bolt FF that is already set up for a '68 burb.

I'd make you a deal on it if you want to make a trip down to SoCal.

What gear ratio and where in SoCal? I will probably take you up on that! We visit family in San Diego a few times a year

I don't know the gear ratio, but I could pull the cover off and figure out.

I am in the Temecula area just off Winchester Rd on I-15.

yes it releases, It is not in a spot to be rolled right now, especially without the brakes working lol.

It was disconnected and I found where and reconnected it. I will have to look into it more and deal with getting the brakes working first
