Look what my wife installed!!
Only took an hour and 20 minutes and she did a greta job. I was her apprentice wrench fetcher and grinder operator for cutting the hole. The rest she did on her own. Gotta love truck chicks eh

LMAO!!! You find a bit of unseen humor in just about everything Jeff!!!
We had the truck in the shop, but there was 3 " of snow on it and it was melting as we were working on it. Wish we had a place to keep it inside all the time

Sorry Purp... every other woman I know ( besides the women I keep in touch with from this board) all think I'm on crack because I enjoy working on trucks so much... We're a rare breed!

yep she did. She removed all the old 3 in the tree crap and installed this entire floor shift kit. We just need to tackle the shift linkage for the Z bar now

And I would have to rightfully agree with that statement. It's a definate bonus to have a wife that understands when you come to her and say " but I need to buy this for the truck so I can finish it up." She really wants to get mine done, so we can jump on into her 58
