You might just need a linkage kit to tighten up your gear shifter.
its straight but it has rust on the lower rear of the cab on the drivers side, both lower corners of the fenders are toast also, patch panels are on the way... I also ordered a new shifter from mr gasket, since i couldnt find any install kits for my truck if i bought a b&m mastershift... i inspected the shifter and i think its whats faulty, since it slops around too much, the shifter itself will fall into any position once i get the linkages in the right gear.. Im also perplexed about what kind of engine tranny i have since it seems like i have a mid 70s early 80s 305 v8 in it.. I think its the original tranny.. is the shift pattern

Can you see any numbers on the engine? That way someone can look them up and tell you what you have. The trans, if you cant see any numbers, the trans oil pan shape will tell you what you have.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Do you know what stock trannies came with these cars? Or what the oil pans are supposed to be like? I found a link on identifiying the 305, but no luck on tranny id's.

This is so cool... I just stumbled onto this page and I feel like I've been missing out! If I get my trans back from Monster I am in! I have some parts that I've been meaning to get rid of too!

Re: SoCal checkin' in

As a father of 4, I definitely understand, I just regret not getting a pic of you guys, your truck and the engine bay.
Thanx for the wheel and drop advice.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Hey guys,

I would like to have another meet on the last week of May.
How does this sound to everyone?

Is there anything else going on that weekend in May, truck-wise?

Is there any preference between Friday nights, Saturday afternoons, Saturday nights, or Sunday afternoons?

I like Sunday at noon, so I could use Friday and Saturday to get my truck ready and the guys driving a long way aren't headed back home too late.

Let me know.

Dano

Re: SoCal checkin' in

I like Sundays as well. I like to keep my Fridays and Saturdays open for parts buyin' (most shops are closed on Sundays). I would love to meet up with you guys again. Let me know the place and I'll try and be there.
