Re: What did you do to your truck today!
After more than five years of having my project on standby(got married and a bb) i started my truck and it fired on the first try.(fresh gas) But it would not move, check the trans fluid and it was full of water. You can see my avatar pic that was like 6 years ago we got hit by a hurricane. Will I have to replace the trans of just the fluid and filter?

Spintech's = Sportsman-3000 2.5" in/out These videos where taken only a few days after getting the exhaust put in. They have had some time to "mature" (fill with carbon) any they are a tad bit quieter now after a year or so of running with an overly fueled engine. -=Scott=- |

You can definitely take the knob completely out as a security feature, or just loosen it to shut off current. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Spintech 3" exh sounds good dhaymaker, but with exhaust it really comes down to the cam and you def have enough, sounds really nice, better in person I bet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finished replacing the 200 4R with a TH350 in my Burb. Road tested it and it seems to work well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my engine mocked up to make sure all the parts will fit... looks like i will have to do a little trimming to allow clearance for the bolts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I installed some arm rests from a 55-66 chevy truck and new sunvisors that I ordered from Classic chevy parts. I also cleaned up a A/C control panel I bought at a swap meet a couple weeks ago. Also test fit a new bench seat and new foam, taking it to an upholstry shop next week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Took out radiator, fan housing, headlights, and then after a lot of screaming stopped because of the stubborn bumper...I know it can be removed, just not today
