Update on the old truck, Recently installed lowering springs in the rear. I got some rear springs out of a 98 jeep grand cherokee for 25 bucks from pull a part. suppose to lower the truck 4 inches from stock. Well I'm sure my rear springs were pretty wore out. the springs only lowered the truck 1-1/2". I'm thinking of going a inch lower. Probably just use some lowering blocks.

Since the lowering, my right side exhaust is rubbing on my panhard bar. nothing a torch can't fix.
getting ready to pull the motor. Pulled the 3 speed off the bell housing. Had my trans jack ready to got but it was in the way. Just pulled it out by hand

The top trans is the synchronize 3 speed overdrive that will be going in its place. Looks like i will need to shorten my driveshaft. Once everything is out I will wash and degrease everything and then start painting
