OK, that's a tad more better

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I'm a simple man, I see a hole, and I fill it !

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

word on the street is Portland has some of the best breweries on the West Coast, you supply the beer and me and the boys will supply the know how

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I should have taken this next pic from across the street

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

so something like this with a reinforcement place in the back

I just bombed it with black to get rid of the white, it will get a nice coat of textured rubbarized stuff to match the inside of the cab

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Nice work

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thanks, you weren't here so it didn't get media blasted, lol, could use some help routing that tail though?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You mean that Lexus transmission doesn't have thr same pan bolt pattern as a TH350?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Right ??? and I don't know how in the world WE're going to route the cable from driver side to passenger side?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Really? That's awesome. Careful, I might take you up on that. Yes, Portland has amazing breweries and distilleries. There are roughly a dozen cool bars too just within a mile of my house. I love Portland.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

a trial fit

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Rolling right along now.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

speaking of "rolling" you got a access to our web cam or something?

daughters Mazda 3 is in the garage getting a new TCM (pronounced: $728 tiny box) so I had to roll out Creepin' Death for all of the HOA to see and I've been wrenchin' on her in the driveway

Fun Level: 2

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

well this is highway robbery and Ace is definitely not the place

1/4-20 nuts $.37 each

5/16-18 nuts $.55 each

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

maybe some of youz can learn me something, my '74 had welded nuts under the floor for the trans tunnel to bolt down to, this '71 doesn't

does this mean they felled off or did they not do that on the 67-72s ?

please and thank you

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

nothing like drilling new holes in the floor you spent days filling holes in

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I think the 4 WD or big block trucks had the bolt in "high hump" transmission cover whereas your run of the mill low hump trans tunnel (ie: floor) came on the 2 WD trucks. I had to install a high hump tunnel and just used a rivnut tool so I can bolt it down. I love those things.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Is there room for j-nuts?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

that thought crossed my mind and the holes seemed too far away from the edge at least an inch away possibly 1.5"

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

This is the epitome of game changer. I love these things...

reserved for some pics of the finished transmission cable linkage if and when my friends show up to help me, one says he has a cracked rib from working on his friend's GTzero and the other claims to have fallen off his bicycle into some strategically placed poison oak [again]

This is using B&M push pull cable designed for a dime a dozen American GM Turbo TH350 three-speed transmission

shown going through the gears: PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE

a little video of it in action: B&M Shifter with Lexus GS450h transmission

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

this is not for the faint of heart

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

What AWG would you say this is ?
