Young Ed Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Nice 46-47! I have a set of those same lights you have on the cowl that I should install as turn signals. I was going to put mine down in the front though. Did they weld shut the other holes for the cowl lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Coatney Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Spencer; Glad you found your way over here and as I told you your truck looks great. This place is much better than the HAMB in my opinion. There was a recent thread about installing a T-5 in a truck. Learn to use the forum search and you will find a lot of information. Are you Army? Ft Campbell? http://mopar.pairserver.com/p15d24ph_forum/index.php?/topic/32298-s10-transmission/?hl=elmer#entry322668 http://mopar.pairserver.com/p15d24ph_forum/index.php?/topic/31392-transmission/?hl=elmer#entry312997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGyver Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Very cool, SSD. Congrats and welcome to the forum. (I see you're from New Berlin..., that wouldn't happen to be New Berlin, Wisconsin, would it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Also, post pictures of your clipper. What is your MOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've got a thread on mating a t5 to my flathead for my next 39-47 pickup. I haven't gotten any further with it though so no details of fitting it into the frame etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yup texas and I'm 11B and heres some pics of the clipper and the bike don't have any of the wife's. Pawpaw restored the Packard once finishing in the early 80s so it is a GREAT platform, it has one hole in the fender and a couple under the rear driver door (I want somebody to teach me to lead for that spot) and thats about it. It has a 327 straight 8 9 bearing 3 speed manual with manual overdrive all the trim is there the pot metal crome grill cracked but thats it i think some time with the tig and i can send it for re-chrome. The interior is beautiful with only the carpet fading. Thad about sums it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looznutz Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I have a Edmunds two two barrell intake manifold for the Packard if you are interested. Was going to use it on my rod project along with a McChuloch v57 supercharger but I don't think I have the skills to build it. Well let me know if you are interested.

SSD Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Are you sure? I can see what i thought was the parking brake by the pedals this is right next to the gear shifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Are you sure? I can see what i thought was the parking brake by the pedals this is right next to the gear shifter The shaft with a button looking pad on the top? I believe that would be the starter pedal...
