There's a '55 GMC 1 ton dump truck with no engine and a 4 speed
transmission for sale for $500. Cab looks OK, frame looks good, all the
interior is there, dump bed is PTO driven off the 4 speed.
Any thoughts as to value?

If your truck is firing and dying it's probably not electrical - it's
either fuel or air - and fuel is the most likely. Could be clogged
filter or failed fuel pump. Disconnect the fuel line before the carb and
crank the engine and see how much gas pumps out- by the way, put end of
line in milk

Is that what the lone hole on the Offy is for?
Also, I'm looking for a air cleaner assembly with cool looking cover
that will fit the Carters once they are on the Offy - any suggestions?

A great selection of intakes, headers and fix it kits for manifold leaks.
Also says they'll fit your Fentons to your intake if you buy both from them.

that drives the transmission linkage. Turns out, this is a difficult

I need to shorten the longer of the two shift linkage arms. Can I remove

I'm going to modify one of the arms on the column shift mechanism so
that it will clear the Offy dual intake.
Is the travel of the arm limited by the mechanism in the steering

I ordered the Offy 2 carb intake for my 53 235 in my 3/4 truck. I went
to order a pair of Carter YF's to go on it and was amazed by the number
of different Carters that will go on that era 235. What specific model

Patrick and Patricks said that he believed there is a clearance problem
using the Offy dual intake on a truck with column shift - can anyone
confirm that?
Also, I know someone out there is running a 2 barrel carb on a single
intake. I'd like to hear how that's going. Is it a sequenced carb? Are
re if a guy owned
the truck since it was new, he would have probably replaced the carb at
some point with something with better performance (mileage and
performance) and an automatic choke.
