All I wanted to do was mount the ring and boot, but that ain't happenin' till I fix the pivot bolt, and while I'm in there, I might as well put new seals and bearings in the coupler

Its like it never ends. It takes 10 steps to accomplish a task that should take only one.

At this point in the game we have to laugh at it and then gitrdone

. U can do it Jim!

thanks J for the support, you and I both know how much goes into a build

COMING SOON!!! at a forum near you...TWIN STICKING the new process NP205 and K case TH 350

might as well right? T/C is already out, and I want to be able to run it in 2WD on the front axle only, thus avoiding the ass end from coming around in the snow!!!

couple coats of rustoleum oil based flat white

Ok, seeing your pic's brought back some memorys i'd just assume forget, all i had was a small 1 ton floor jack and it was not tall enough to lift my T case or my tranny high enough to do the install, so i ended up pushing them off to the side a little and positioned myself under the center of my truck, then i pulled the tranny onto my chest and used my arms and my knee to heft it up into place, then i had to do the same with the T case.. that was a beotch!

OK, ordered up the Twin Stick and long shift rails from ORD, should be here in a couple days! Since the mount for the shifter doesn't use the factory hole, I can use the defective coupler that is in the truck with new seals from 4X Heaven outta NY

The boot may cause a problem, but what else is new? Right!

Been there done that

, but I am much wiser to the mechanical techniques for solving problems (hydraulics)

. I'm big on the right tool for the job, plus I'm 60 and still have upper body strength, a trans on my chest would probably break a rib

plus. plus it was only 100 bucks at Harbour Freight
