I'll get some pictures tomorrow. Yes, I haven't updated my build thread in a while. The truck has been driveable for 3 weeks now, but I've been having a few intermittent problems with the 4L60E that I'm trying to figure out. It is a blast to drive though, if that gives you any motivation!! Got it done just in time for the last 2 days of GoodGuys Des Moines.

I used a 91 s10 steering column, and it just so happened that my 95 intermediate shaft fit with no modifications length-wise (newer body style s10's have the intermediate shaft go in under the dash, vs. hooking up in the engine compartment). My fix was to order u-joints to replace the stock joints for both ends, got them both from Speedway motors. I had a van shaft, but upon closer inspection the splines were bad on the box end and the joints weren't in the best shape, so I went new. Don't want to skimp on steering or brakes.
