Ross thank you that helps me out a lot.

HH56 Thanks you given me more than $0.02 more like $1.02 to me hahaha. Thanks for telling me about being careful with the bezel because I probably would have broke it. Thanks again for telling me about the larger rim Center hole, now I understand why it was so hard to fit another rim I had brought for it. The transmission adapters too expensive for me but it's good to see a picture of what I need to do,. Do you remember the name of the Ford truck and year for the radiator?
What material were the radiators of that time made of. I figured that manual transmissions for Packards would be really hard to find. Very happy to find out that there is Parts online readily available for the torsion level suspension, and thank you for telling me what to look for while inspecting it. I have noticed that Ford parts could fit like a top loader transmission aswell.

Owen thank you that's a very good to know.

Riki thank you do you have any tips on getting the ignition cylinder out safely?

So what are you guys using for your fluids & plugs, how do you like that twin ultramatic and after one fully understands it how reliable is it and are the parts still available?
And how's unleaded gas treating you?
Thanks everyone.
