Re: Old Yeller's new heart-5.3/4l60 swap!
Ok, after a not insignificant period of violent profanity, related to computers, we're gonna try to update this thing. We'll pick up where we were-see if the pic thing goes.
Holy Crap, it worked! The gang at the Starbird/Devlin show in Jan. of 2015. Decided to have a bit more striping done on the rad cover. Loaded up to head down. After the show, great weather for Jan., had the whole crew in the bed of the truck riding through downtown Wichita. So, in late Feb, I got the word that my job situation was going to be changing, so I found another one. Back to industrial machine design/fab/maintenance. Best thing I ever did.The jokes about corporate America ain't jokes! Here's the first big project, all the stuff in the foreground is mine.

Re: Old Yeller's new heart-5.3/4l60 swap!
Thanks guys! This pic bidness got me sideways! Hope I can contribute a little again.
I've had the "new" gig for almost a year, thats how behind I am. That's a Roll Processing Line I built for our Reno facility. It takes a "log" of finished goods out of the back of the machine, breaks it up, stands the pieces up, pounds the ends flat, and delivers them to the packing station. We have locations in KC, Reno and Richmond, Va. We make big rolls of paper into reciept rolls for customers like Kmart, Subway, Jcrew, PostXchange, etc. I fix all the mechanical stuff the guys on the floor can't, help install new machinery, and make all of our material handling stuff custom. Mostly I hang out in the machine/fab shop and make stuff with the Offspring blasting in my headphones. I'll try to get more on tonight, I found a bunch more in the process of doing this update. Mike, are you messing with Power Tour?

Truck looks amazing, great job on the engine swap. Did I see you had 99-04 40/20/40 seats in it? Do you have a couple pics of the interior?

Dangit, I gotta pay attention! Nope, bolted right in, had to drill a couple holes. They're a little tall, but great.

Maybe I missed it going through the thread, but do you have any pics of how the A/C compressor fittings turned out?

Re: Old Yeller's new heart-5.3/4l60 swap!
Bad news today. I'm sure Chip will be on here with details, but Yeller got wrecked by a drunk driver. His dad seems to be OK, but could use some prayers and well wishes from everybody.

I hated to see this on Fbook last night Chip. It really bums me out when something totally unnecessary happens like this.
