Bah I might have to switch transmissions now... My dream on a 250 and a 700r4 is quickly dying, a 400 trans I guess will be ok.:waah:

So the truck made it's first maiden voyage. I drove it to work with no problems, the drive home though showed me the obvious. You can't run a electric fuel pump, a electric fan that is on constant when the engine is running with a 45 amp alt that has a broken postive stud.. I am going to get a 100 amp and try to get a fan controller that works. It was awesome driving it though!!

Took the truck on its maiden voyage Saturday. 30 miles round trip, decided on the way home that I needed a better alt. 35 or whatever it is is NOT enough for a electric fan and fuel pump. Other than that it is shifting though all the gears. and drives really nice!

Working on the bed. Still waiting on a little advice on replacing kingpins if anyone has done em on these trucks.

Back in Arizona with my truck. I've got too many projects now.... The 70 GMC burb, the 80 GMC 4wd, this 58. I think one needs to be cut... Also working on a 57 2 door 210 for my dad and my son, and the wife's Chevelle.
