The pans we had the worst problems sealing was the ones that had been jacked up on or the transmission dropped on :lol: It was hard to keep enough spare pans around, so we had to straighten them as much as we could to get it going. I never used a sealer for trans pans. If it didn't seal they would have to buy a good used or new pan.
It's been a while since I've done a 350, and I don't think that blue silicone gasket was made back then. But I have used one similar to this one pictured when we couldn't get a standard cork, or black neoprene gasket to seal. That's not a terrible price on that blue gasket if that's what it takes!
Hah, I gotta say, I don't miss all the headache, haha.
I like that truck! :metal:
Thanks

Left this morning around 9.30 with the hope of getting to the campground in Winchester VA mid point of the trip about 6 hours . Right out of the gate it went south stuck in traffic for about 30 minutes seems someone thought it would be a good idea and go off roading . Then after that hit four different construction areas on 81 in PA . So I finally made it to the campground at 7pm . Hopefully tomorrow will go smoother.

Cleaned up and hit a couple cars and coffee and cruise ins, while Fall and winter is when half of you put your trucks away its the best time to get out here in NC.

I do have a couple projects ready to start in the garage, new cowl hood I need to paint with billet hinges and a freshly built stage 2 2004R 4 speed trans to replace my TH350. Before next summer I need to order and install a Vintage Air, having no AC this summer and no heat for this winter is getting old.

Nice weather today for the show . I didn’t walk around much so no pictures other than my truck . Tomorrow will be just as nice so it should be a great turnout . Trucks keep rolling into the camping area tonight .

Is that an extra driving light behind the grille on the passenger side?

Finished getting my disk brake D44 axle ready for paint, which will be applied tomorrow based on the weather forecast. My goal is to have all the painted parts finished before the snow comes and start assembly over the winter.

No its the overflow for the radiator, that's how the previous owner had it and I wasn't sure if it was suppose to be like that or not.
Now its grown on me so I don't even notice it.

OK, thanks. I wondered why it was only on one side. Auxiliary lights are usually symetrical.

The USA-1 booth had all kinds of stuff for cheap I bought left and right blue armrests for my 85 made by dash direct for 5 bucks each . They had a lot of square body dash pads for 100-150 . That’s where I picket up the square body slider for $10 bucks . They had a lot of seat skins too

Yeah that's a big discount, when I did my red houndstooth I think on sale mine was still in the $400 range.

Looking back I wish I would have updated the seat cushion/padding while it was apart but I had too many other projects to finish on the truck at the time.

Very good price. I think we paid around $450.00 I added a 1/2" of padding to the bottom and was very happy with the results.

New headlamps and front side markers . The side markers are Woodall’s guess they are discontinued paid 10 bucks for the pair . The headlamps are United Pacific brand . Much brighter than the Sylvania halogens that were in it
