Re: What did you do to your truck today!
It'll be a bit before I get everything together to install it, but I will post the improvements, if any.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
We took the stepside bed up to my son's house since we are now ready to start getting it ready for painting.
Washed it down good, removed the tailgate and the chains. Tomorrow we will weld in the roll pan, then see what else we have time to do.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nice adaptor! I was going to go the same route, 4l80e and 205, but had my transmission guy talk me out of it (that and the cost of the electronics needed). Now trying to sell the 80.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my frontend aligned after swapping all the brakes, drop suspension and steering. The guy did a very thorough job considering the change in stance and all

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
We cleaned and straightened my son's garage, since we are done with building my '67 swb stepper. Then we pushed in his next project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Shyguy, looks like you and your son did an amazing job on that stepper. Can't wait to see his c10 project! Love the stripes on cowl. Did you guys have a build thread anywhere? I'm curious what the rest of it looks like

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tip: Make sure that is fully out before you put it back in the tank. Otherwise, you run the risk of having a hot dog.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The rear end was leaking so I pulled the cover off, cleaned it, re-painted it and re-installed. Also painted the master cyclinder since I am finally getting to drive it and it was starting to show a little rust. Lastly I fixed the shifter. I had hooked up 1st and reverse backwards. It was interesting the first time I started to pul off. Now it is time to go to the in-laws to eat. Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'll ask everyone to take a minute today and really think about what you are thankful for. Tell the people you love how much you are thankful for them!!
