yes....it was not a "rebuild" it was a service job to repair the tranny. It was never discussed to do anything with the torque converter, which is a lock up unit that is activated with a toggle switch...I get the truck back tonight and hopefully this mess is behind me now.

Put the rear steelies on and pulled the Barden bumper off. Oh, and cut the tailpipe so it doesn't stick out 6".
You guys and gals really inspire me, Thank You!

If you have a cable to attach your phone to the PC, you should be able to find the files that way.

Visited it at the body shop. I took it there a week ago to have the doors adjusted. Now it's done and I'm thinking of having them pull the ashtray, heater block off and radio delete plate, smoothing out the entire center dash so I can put my gages there along with a tach.

Today I finished up a major rewiring job. Underdash harness, front harness and engine harness. This also allowed me to switch from lights to gauges. It was at the scary point when I took the picture. Never done any wiring before but it all worked out good!

Been doing more work on the electrical rewire. My buddy Vince put on all new rear drum hardware, shoes, drums, wheel cylinder kits and springs. Here's a pic of him workin on it.
