The "Get the Frick'n truck ready for Vacaville" thread....

[ChiefRocka]

Well as some of you know...a while back I decided to pull out the stock 3-speed in favor of the ever-so-cool 700R4. I got the tranny up there, and then things got busy, other cars rolled in and the project was put on hold.

Then one day, my wife Holli asked me "So why and you going automatic....isn't a manual more fun for smoking the tires ??"

I was like "Huh ??" I was like...."I knew there was a reason I married you!!!"

(BTW...yesterday marks my 10 YEARS OF MARRIAGE)

I also got the same responces from my buddys....So this being said...out came the 700 and in goes the Muncie I was saving for the Nova....

I wish I would of thought this out in the begining...just realized the Munice is the EXACT SAME LENGTH as the stock 3-speed !!!

This would of been so easy...slide the 3-speed out of the bell-housing and slide in the 4-speed...no need to chisel rivets and remove the bell-housing crossmember...no rear member needed, etc. Only a shifter and thats it !!

Anyway, enough of the dwelling......Better get up some pics !!!! (just remembered how big Joe is....)

Here's the 3-speed and it's clutch I will be reusing (no extra money for a nice one just yet...). Cleaned up the flywheel and check the disc fit...
