I ended up with these, work pretty well on an early 2F block with a big cap dizzy. Might fit better with a small cap...
Old pic or is the head back on already?

Oil change with 20w40 (and ZDDP), then adjusted the steering box to take out some play (seems like the final adjustment that was needed to tighten her up). Play is now ~1.5 or so - big difference. Then contemplated just how much has changed on these rigs in 40 years

Meanwhile, back at Romper Room:
I am using them for a 1975 and a 1984 using a Holley sniper on the 75 and stock carb on the 84….from the photos @Pighead shows, the only difference I see is the spark plug boots are at a 45 degree angle on mine

Good chance your center arm also needs some attention if 1.5" is the play after adjustment.
I can absolutely agree that the center arm will make a bigger difference. The problem I have is breaking assembly apart on the hub. Took more strength than I had so it took a very secure vice, a 1/4 can of penetrating oil and an extension on my breaker bar to rebuild it

Rebuilt the center arm recently. Might try tightening it a bit. Candidly, could tighten the steering box a bit more, just worried about doing too much and increasing wear.

Your girlfriend knows how to pick a birthday present!
oh yeah she does. She kept asking what to get for this build. (she buys a part for all of my builds so she can point to her friends and gloat)
agreed on the winch, then she calls me and says "after researching I'm buying you the synthetic rope version because you are too flaky to remember to oil the cable"
I didn’t realize you need to oil the cable….thank you to your girlfriend
The garage door guy told me to oil the torsion roller spring on.my overhead garage doors too.

Gotta be careful telling your girlfriend you want a winch for your Birthday!
In all seriousness though, good on you! She sounds like a keeper.
I like those tires. What are they and what size?
They are 19 yo 33x12.5x15 on headlocks I have had this truck in storage for 14 years. But still holding air.

I would like to trade the whole set of 5 for stock wheels

Picked up my windshield from the glass shop and started putting parts back on the frame. I’m missing a bolt for one of the brackets for the knob somehow. I scrounged up a temporarily permanent replacement. I also have maybe 6-7 wiper arm assemblies with probably no two alike 
Picked up the hardtop roof from the individual I bought it at the beginning of the year and took it to my dad’s to store it. On the way to my dad’s I stopped to get quotes for fiberglass repair. One shop was going to email me an estimate ( which hasn’t happened yet) and the other said $2200 which is I believe really over priced.
