No...I just walked back from next door and they are having to modify my accelerator cable where it mounts to the carb so it will have full throttle. When they installed the tv made easy system it uses a differant bracket for the cable. Its no big deal but another little thing to be fabbed. Still got 2 hours till they and us close so I'm sure it will go home with me..........I hope

Thanks man, I wish you guys could see me. I have a grin from ear to ear

the tranny guys just told me that at 70mph I'm only turning 1800 rpms and at 75mph I'm turning 2000. Plus another big deal is I will finally have a speedo that works. The drive gear in the old manual trans was shot.

shawno72 · 02-08-2013, 09:16 PM

Well its done. I'll let you know what I think here shortly but in the meantime it looks so naked without the clutch pedal

I'll have to patch in the hole for the shifter but for now I'm going cruising

Attention... Attention... Shawn will be unavailable for an unspecified time due to a life changing truck transition. This time is a very fragile time that may be spent endlessly cruising at highway speeds or doing smokey burnouts on vacant back roads. He will return when he has adjusted sufficiently... or his gas tank is empty... or his rear tires are without tread. That is all!

C/10 King · 02-08-2013, 10:58 PM

Atta' boy Shawno!!!!

I bet you feel like this.

Rusbuilt · 02-08-2013, 11:49 PM

Congrats Shawn!

shawno72 · 02-09-2013, 01:10 AM

Thanks guys. After taking the long down I5 to south side Stockton to see Randy (perro13) and pick up some clean grill hoops. I was in truck heaven rolling with the rest of the world in the fast lane. Here us how she did

Have been thinking of taking out my 4 speed for a 700r4 and the pic if the speedo & tach sold me on it...

I'm telling you, this thing is a ton of fun to drive now. Keep in mind that I have a 3.08 rear end. Your 4 speed probably came mated to a 3.73 rear end, will still be good enough to get you down the highway
