shawno72 · 02-03-2013, 12:23 AM

Thanks Leon, I'm getting really excited if you couldn't tell.

If anyone has a tubular trans xmember let me know asap.

Rusbuilt · 02-03-2013, 12:27 AM

White walls or black?

Rusbuilt · 02-03-2013, 12:30 AM

Idk, I think it would look good either way.

502ms · 02-03-2013, 01:30 AM

I agree. But I say if possible, just keep a set of each (all black tire set, and a set with trim rims and whitewalls).

Never get bored that way

LOL!

Yup. But I start out low. Then go full up. Then lay down. Then ride dirty. Then ride hot rod. Then ride low low low. Then repeat. You love it.

I park laid flat out.
BTW,I know you are looking forward to your new transmission. I am looking forward to my new motor and 6 gears. I am hoping to see some nice mpgs too.

No trim ring.
Defeats the Copo/poverty cap look.

Good point Keith, like stated earlier, will probably look to busy.

"low and slow is the way to go" no trim ring and the skinny whites look really good

shawno72 · 02-07-2013, 12:21 PM

Ok here are some pics of the install. Obviously are the parts that have been removed, let me know if anyone needs anything. Also the trans thats in some of the pics is the mock up tranny.

Well I just gave my key to the guys at the tranny shop. Unfortunately I am off work tomorrow so it will be hard for me to take any pictures. I'm thinking maybe I could have Ron snap some pics of the progress for me.

Rusbuilt · 02-05-2013, 07:43 PM

You're gonna love the 700r4!!

that's a happy day right there

NewType72 · 02-07-2013, 12:23 PM

So the truck will be down for a few days huh? Is it that quick that your 700 is so close to ready?

shawno72 · 02-07-2013, 12:24 PM

I think we are going to go with a one piece drive shaft as well

Rusbuilt · 02-07-2013, 12:43 PM

Sweet ShawnO!!

NewType72 · 02-07-2013, 12:47 PM

Man I need to have one rebuilt and put in. I know I'll have to shorten my one piece drive shaft and figure out how ill mount my 700. But doing the other stuff to make it function is what boggles me like the linkages and how it affects gear selection at the column
