How it coming? Amazing work so far! I've always wanted to put a cummins in my 67, and probably still will... Keep up the great work!!! Just curious, why didn't you go with a 6bt?

Dude you have an awesome truck, I love it.

But I have to ask to understand correctly, you were first gonna run a 700R4 auto, then decided to put a T56 in it (which I was hella happy to see), but now you are going back to an auto w/ the 5R110. What gives? Manual gear selection is the best option, why back to an auto?

On a high horse diesel or gas engine these days the auto will run way faster than the manual. The manual will always be more fun as far as racing goes though.

Any chance you can email photos of your work? I have '64 F100 and am heading down the same path you took. kimghayes at gmail.com.
