Thanks for the heads up, pick up some on the way home today. Next quest, no degree tab on front of motor....

Ok, lesson learned, barbs for tranny lines coming out of new rad were not right, and I did not check. My fault, that wont happen again! Ok, no leaks from tranny and old leaks from valve covers seem to have been fixed with new gaskets. Are the cast aluminum covers any better than these flexy...

Its a 727, steel lines are there, the new radiator has flared pipes coming out of rad, so I have to do what previous owner did and use some fuel line. Trying to think of a stronger hose thats readily available...

The auto tranny lines that connect to the radiator, I used new fuel line to connect to the barbs they connect to, I must not have tightened them enough, will look this afternoon. Need a break from the truck....

Motor has Edelbrock valve covers on it, eventually wanna go fast aluminum covers. We bought the truck a week ago, little rough but it has good bones, previous owner beat it and fixed it with tape and hope, guess you could say we rescued it....lol.

It runs well, and yes it sounds and feels a little lumpy(cam). It runs out fine, revs easy and feels like it has some **** and get to it....check for numbers this weekend.

Good evening, just bought a 81 Stepside with what the previous owner said was a Commando 273, joined because I gotta figure this truck out and have some fun! What do I look for to see if this in fact a 273 or a 318?
