Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"

Found the culprit... Filled heater-core and let it sit, and without any pressure water welled up at the base of the upper stand-pipe. New one (different manufacturer) will be here in the morning, so I'll try this one more time.

No Sir! It's worse, I never took a pic after you got there. I couldn't have gotten a good pic anyway with the crowd that gathered when you raised the hood!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"

Heater-core replaced, rear end cleaned and ready to be assembled with a new Eaton Posi and Richmond 3.73:1 gear, pretty good days work so far. Next, I need to pull the transmission crossmember a lower the mount pad a little. When I raised it a few weeks ago, I went too high and the transmission is touching the body. Live and learn...

Pic of the rear end ready to go!

Do you have a "high hump" trans cover?

No it is the standard hump in the floor. It's hitting the flange seam where the firewall and floor meet. Just going to lower it 1/4" to 1/2".

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"

The high hump gives you a ton of room.
Just thought it might fix your issues,... if you already have the trans angles set.

Oh, there is no doubt that it will stay a stepside. It is Hart_Rod who is swapping his son's truck to a fleet.
