Did a few things..mostly looks better with no flat tires so neighbors should leave me alone. Always short of time, next round off hope to see if it starts lol.

Progress, However Slow....
That's a good first step .
I hope you've cleaned all the crap out of the cab and bed, now take 30 minutes and wash all the windows inside and out to further hide the fact that "OMG ! he bought a rusty piece of crap ! it's going to ruin the neighborhood ! " .

Re: Progress, However Slow....
VWNate1 with you on that..the inside was pretty well farmed out, lots of expected straw, dirt, but shockingly not much if any mice smell. usually this stuff is loaded with pee. A couple hours and every single part I could reach has been cleaned out, carpet hit the trash, cleaned the windows, polished the fogged dash lenses, you know, anything to avoid seeing if it will start or is locked up. Seat has been steamed and smells normal now, also scrubbed the seatbelts.
Shifty One these slots came off the board many years ago, probably almost 20, was my first purchase iirc. they were on a stepside in Vegas, then ended up in Vancouver or somewhere then I got them. LT7A I said if I was to have a 70's square it would be a Spring Green one, and that is why I snagged it. Actually bought a different set of slots off the board just in case I ever got one (kind of weird??) but they holes need some work before I trust using them. All in time, I just need to get this thing moving.

So the trans is supposed to be toast..
if it is, does one go with another Th350 (cheap) or try a 700? I live in a small town so highway speeds and commutes will be common. Opinions? Been thinking about this for weeks..
