We'll took KarmA out for a drive today and think I have a new issue.... Imagine that! My trans 700r4 91 model will not kick down when I step on it in any gear... I tugged on the tv cable to hopefully free something that may be blocking it from working (worked when I was setting the pressures 3 yrs ago) an when I was done doing that I actually had to slide the slip colar out some to take some tension (preload) off the tv cable. Now it shifts hard into second and third like it should with all the upgrades but still no kickdown... So hopefully this weekend I can set the pressures again and see where it's at. Any ideas what I should look for? Fluids not burnt only has about 600 miles on it last year and then it say all winter...

Trans issue fixed I think and pulled out to get a video of the exhaust for another guy on FB... So might as well post here!

Glad you're getting to enjoy the truck. Can't wait till mine comes back out of "hibernation." Going to a show last weekend really made me miss it.

[shortbed70]

Thanks man

That future hot rodder just stole your truck, they always get away with it. LOL

[TJ's Chevy]

Truck is sweet! And looks like the future hotrodder is right at home!

Ok guys need some opinions. Should I;
A- stick with 6 lug and buy disc or the front end
B- swap to 82-84 5 lug cradle and rearend...
Don't know the gears yet just know I can get the stuff cheap!!!
Second question is how different is the width of the rear compared to a late 64 rear??
Thanks

Interior is in the process.... I went to a show today and rolled up to it with my first candy paintjob 57 Chevy from a few years ago and the drive went great... We get there and park and it's hot but we muster through the day. I also painted a diplomat or a guy who's dad died two weeks before today and even though I didn't win anything with my truck... Got sunburned pretty good... But the diplomat (retired cop car) placed in top 25 and the 57 parked next to my junk won best of show!!!! I think I won alittle bit... So excited I had to post.. Thanks to all the people that have watched my build, commented on my posts and helped me through a lot of issues.. Happy fathers day to all the dad's out there.
