another update. i decided that i had no place to store a cab so did the swap last weekend, at the same time as the transmission. all went well except i still need to get some wiring parts and finish putting the rest of the truck back together
after taking my 4 speed apart i found my tranny issue, there were 15 teeth missing from one gear, i found 9 of them sitting at the bottom and the rest were in kind of a paste that had gatherd around the drain hole.

before shot
with the cab off
our supervisor
i think i found my exhaust leak
my old transmission, can you spot the missing teeth?
this is how it sits now, still waiting for some parts but i should be done this weekend

thought it was about time for some more pictures,
the cab swap is 100% finished now, truck was only down for about a week, funny how fast you can get stuff done when the truck is your dd

built myself a tailgate
building my exhaust, this was about 2 in the morning
with my friends '79 warlock
finally got it dirty, but lost a mirror and dented the fender at the same time.....damn trees
