Hello :D , I purchased a 360 pickup about a month ago and have been searching and scouring the internet for info on rebuilding, I am happy to have found this site and all the invaluable information and experience that you have accumulated. Hopefully you will not get tired of all the questions I will be asking of you.
I know how you like to have pictures so I will try to attach some to this post.

Somehow the pictures got reversed so does anyone recognize the shield in the first photo and does it belong on a 360? It was in the cab when I got the truck.
I would love some history on this truck if anyone recognizes it!
Also are there another members in the club from Canada, as the 360's were never sold here, most people have not even heard of them?

Hi Jim, and welcome to the Club from downunder! You'll enjoy being a part of this club........ (heck, I've enjoyed being APART from it for many years now HAHAHA)

Just jestin'... as usual.

The truck looks nice - a bit of work to do, but that's what we do eh? Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions (or answer 'em!)

Cheers,

Ian

Welcome to the club Jim. I own a sedan out of Washington, close to Canada but not quite there. You will find answers to your questions soon as there are very knowledgeable truck owners on this forum. Good luck with the rebuild and keep us posted.

It looks like a heat shield for the exhaust manifold. Don't take my word for it though. I have about 10 minutes total working time into my truck :). Did yours come without a seat too?
Good luck with your project and welcome to the Club!

Yeah! that was my thought but it looks to big to belong on this vehicle :?
I have the original seats but I am in the process of trying to developing bucket seats for it.
Thanks to all for the warm welcome!

Hey, welcome to the club! Be sure to get the manuals from my site - see the link below. Also, did you get the link for the BOR? There are thousands of answers in there. If not let me know.

Thanks StevenM I have downloaded most of the manuals that pertain to my vehicle and am studying the BORs that were linked to me.

Welcome to The Club!
Part is definitely the one that fastens on the exh manifold and heats
air for the heater in the vehicle.
You should have received a ROSTER when you joined, look under
INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS (last page) for other members in Canada.

Welcome to the club, I recently bought a truck too, We can be truck rookies together. Yours looks better than mine but mine is virgin. Nobody has repaired anything on it. So far I've successfully removed the rear drums and one head, and an oil pump which looked like 30 miles of bad road, but I think it may just be repairable. I'll help if I can.
