Re: Operation Short Bed

Ordered a HP trans rebuild kit last night. While I was driving it last night in 3rd gear it kept down shifting into 2nd gear whenever I put the slightest strain on the motor. Hopefully this will take care of that issue.

Re: Operation Short Bed

Those drag pics look sick! Did they have to call the fire dept. because of the smoke??? Lol
Those rims are close to the type I'm getting, are they Foose Nitrous? Any way that is a great looking truck and keep up the good work!

Re: Operation Short Bed

My buddy and I made this wood kit out of Red Oak. It turned out nicely, and the hole where the radio once was is gone.

Re: Operation Short Bed

I got the rebuild kit for the THM350, but I am really thinking about getting a 700R4. That overdrive would really be nice since we but the 4.10 posi trac in it and I really tired of the RPM's being at 3100 while driving 60 MPH. What do you all think should I do it and if so where should I get the 700R4 at?
