its okay man! They were $590.... i think

i just called and talked to phil and told him i had a 4l80e in a square body c10 and he said he was pretty sure he had a set in stock. should be here in a week if they are... 2 weeks if they have to make them. i'll give you a part # when they get here.

in other news... got the trans xmember today and its not right. the pinion angle is like 10-11 degrees. way off... i sent them pics of my stock one and a pic of theirs bolted up and there was like a 3" difference. they are supposed to get back to me tomorrow. really disappointed! until..........

today Draggin86 brought over the painter today!! party!!!! we went over everything on silver. He's the main painter at a huge shop out here. The work ive seen is just SIK!!!! so i have alot of confidence in whats going to happen here. She's going to be Red Jewel Tintcoat. He's going to take the fenders(inner) and core support this weekend and do them up for a sample so i can see his work. all quality stuff(ppg) i'm really excited here... as soon as i finish the firewall he'll take the cab and smooth and paint the firewall. then it will go to lineX and be set on the frame. then he'll take the whole truck and do her up!!
