Well today was a good day, I got my drive shaft, and it was right this time, the shop did right by me and didnt charge me to fix it.
I started out the day by installing the new cross member I built, I constructed it out of 1/4x2x4" hot rolled box tubing, and 1/4x4" flat bar. It is extra stout, actually twice what it needs to be, but that is the way I like it!
Once I had it in and mounted I was able to breathe a big sigh of releif, I think it came out pretty good, allthough I will have some finishing to do on the cross member, but that can wait until the truck comes apart for paint.
Seeing it at this point made me so happy, I was totally stoked to have the transmission finally mounted up right.
then I got the drive shaft installed, and it went in like a charm the first time, once I had the stick installed, and everything buttoned up, as well as the E-brake Adjusted, I was back in buisness!
The only thing I have to do to get the truck street legal again is install new exhaust, I had to cut the old pipes out so as that I could install the transmission cross member.
Oh, and here is a little preview of another project im workin on on this truck...
Catch yall next time!
