Let me know how well those fit. I ordered Right Stuff lines from Summit and they could have been a little longer but I may them work.

will do... how is your truck coming? updates?

[rs74]

Supposed to start on rocker this week and then going to blast the cab. From there I think firewall and door jams are getting trimmed in and probably paint the interior. I hope.

Well if you still have the th400, I would see about getting it rebuilt and have them build it up. Might be more cost effective that way.

Can't help you here but I have a new TCI 400 that I have never got to use. The reason being that I had it on the garage floor at my old bachelor pad and then we got a big rain and my garage got flooded. Ruined and never got to use it. Still have it though. Maybe I will buy a rebuild kit for it and have someone put it together.

has to be for a BOP bellhousing pattern... I have the 455 Olds motor going in mine...

I was given some help from the owner of Drive Train Specialists. http://www.dtscustom.com
The owner made my day on a 9" complete rear end assembly for my truck. posi, 3.25 gears. so in a couple of weeks, I'll have a really nice rear end for my truck, can't wait!!!!

[77ChevySharkBite]

Nice man!!!! That's great news!!

Your truck looks solid, that brake kit will def help in the stop department! You might want to look at a Trans adapter plate for a BOP engine to trans. I used one years ago on a buddies car, I cant remember if we had to use a spacer on the torque converter or not. You would have a lot more choices for a trans.

[naphtali5725]

Got my Painless wiring harness, I'll lay it out tomorrow and get some pics...
Also got my 3M Paint Preparation System to spray my truck

No need for an adapter, I have a TH350, and a TH400 with the buick olds pontiac bell housing, just looking for a good rebuilder at the moment.

[naphtali5725]

Here's the specs on my 9" Ford rear end I have coming...

9" ford w/ 31 spline axles, bolt circle of 5x5
1/2x20x2" wheel studs
3.25 gear ratio w/true-trac posi
1350 yoke and strap kit (also sending a combo u-joint)
set up for stock drum brakes
spring pads and shock mounts installed on housing
painted black

This should handle my engine pretty well...

[77ChevySharkBite]

Yeah I think so too, it should help you leave some pretty black marks on roads too

Got the new drop spindles today, did you buy a kit for the other front end parts?

Man, you will be able to smoke those tires till they pop if you go with the BB.

yes, go thru my whole build thread and you'll see what all parts I have gotten for my suspension and the rest of my truck. good luck with the spindles...what kind are they?

[Sodell]

I got them from Phoenix Wheel.
