This is my dads truck. He bought it a couple years ago cuz he got a good deal on it and we've done little to it besides have the wheels polished and a new set of rubber. The truck is really strait and tight but has been sitting for a number of years. It has a 400hp A Cat and a 13 speed. I recently acquired access to a shop so I'll be working at getting this truck road ready. The plan is to swap out the fuel tanks to some nicer ones and move them to the stock location, mount a set of full fenders, and swap the running gear out to a 3406B and 15 speed.

They have never made a low inertia 15spd, it would either be a RT, RTO, or a RTX.

An overdrive 9 or 10 should be up against the dash, a RTX has the top plate changed to allow a normal shift pattern.

Sweet looking 362. I'm a cabover fan. My dad had them in the 70's so I grew up around them. His even had a similar paint design to your dad's. I have an 80 352 with a V-8 cat in it that I want to do a restification on when time and money allows. Have fun with it. Those are cool rides!
