That is very true. I've known something was wrong with it for a while now but it is actually good to know what it was and that I can fix it.

One of the things that I really liked about this truck was its originality. Although I've now cut it up and put wheels on it, I'm still trying to maintain the original styling and equipment it had. The 307/powerglide combo is plenty of power and pickup for me, so I want to try and preserve those original aspects of the truck. I've had pretty much every other popular GM transmission in the past and I can't say that I like those any better than this powerglide. I've got the powerglide already, so why not?
