Looks like your therapy is going well and you seem to be well on your way to a full recovery

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
My friend John ( Grendel ) bought the kits, I believe it was through NWF ( North West Fabs ) I'm rebuilding two T/C's for his projects along with mine.
His are going to be a bit more involved, NP203 doublers and stuf. These kits are complete or master kits. They have everything from gaskets to bearings & seals for just about any NP205 available !!!! Going though a divorce after 26yrs of marage is one of the most difficult things I have ever expirienced, having something to focus on and keep your mind occupied can be you savior. I have always loved working on a project, figuring out problems and fabricating things, my wife hated my projects, the way I look at it is I could have been at bars, doing drugs or chasing woman. Sorry for the rant, but it's part of getting through this thing !!!! Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Gary,
I am actually hiding from the little ones right now, and your thread is my therapy! They aren't mine, so I can say that. At first I was like, dude, sucks, alone at Christmas, but as I looked at what you accomplished all I could think was there could be no better way to get your mind off things then by putting together such a pretty drive train. I hope you know we are all behind you while you go through your "Therapy", and we can't what to see it when you are done! Have one on me bud Orlando

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
There's no doubt about it that this project has helped me keep myself occupied when I'm home alone. But this coming Sunday I start a new therapy that may slow my progress by take away some of my free time. I have a date with a woman I met at a Christmas party a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Hey sorry about the divorce but as most have said it was the best thing to ever happen to me. My wife now is the best women I have ever met love her to death. The truck is looking sharp but if you keep up the pace you will be looking for a new project soon. Keep up the great work can't wait to see more.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
It's taken 2 weeks between our schedules to find time for the 1st date, so there will still be plenty of time for the truck.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Real nice project you have going. Here is some humor to cheer you up. Trucks and some women are very much alike. They both cost you lots of money, They both break down from time to time and they both take you for rides and can leave you feeling stranded. The good side is men know how to fix trucks so you do get back in the garage. No harm no fowl just fun humor.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Well any updates have you been working on the truck? Did you ever go out on that date and does she know you spend hours in the garage?

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
No up-dates since Chrstmas day. The next step is to drill new wholes in the frame for the engine crossmember ( Moved forward 1-3/4"s because of the 700R4 ) Also have some clearance issues to deal with on the headers. There beautiful stainless steel headers but not for this year truck. The passenger side should be easy, one tube is just barely touching the frame and should bend away without much effert. On the drivers side the collector flange hits the frame & the 02 bung needs to be relocated.
The date is this coming sunday, dinner & a movie Oh and yes she knows about the truck, ran that by her when we 1st met, and she has seen the pictures. She has a time consuming hobby also, she has a show horse.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Congrats on the finalization, and a big handshake on the healing process, seems like your getting through it quite well. Lord knows it will eat you alive if ya let it (speaking from experience) Trucks coming along nicely and I cant wait to see it done. From the looks of things, all the ladies will be begging for rides. Much respect.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
I'll be posting more on the project soon. I've done little on it over the last 8 months or so, other than collecting parts. I've been a little distracted, chasing two legged deer around, but now have a renewed interest in the truck. I've made several purchases recently, NOS inner + outer grille & bowtie. NOS front fender,rust free Ca. swb fleet bed cab & doors. So lots to come soon !!!
Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Looks great........... And on some common ground my truck became what it is from a divorce also. It helps to have something to keep your mind right.
