he may be alluding to some suspension mods that could require a cab removal

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Today I decided I'd go start the truck as I wanted to see how well it started in the cold. It was 25* out, there are no grid heaters, and no, it isn't plugged in. It's been sitting out there for 2 weeks or longer. I was really surprised it fired right up. No coughing, no smoke other than what's normal. It actually started better than my daily driver 12v. (Which I still need to hook up the grid heater on as well.)

So how come you're not driving that? I'd be driving the wheels off of it.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I still haven't finished the wiring and lights. Plus the clutch hydros aren't quite right. I'll be solving that soon. And the biggest excuse, I've been trying to get the Excursion running and done.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Heck no. I already catch myself trying to press the clutch pedal whenever I jump into an auto vehicle.
Quote:
I can't resist the oppurtunity to put a 47RH in it since I have a $1000 triple billet torque converter laying on the floor, and a pretty beefy 47RH sitting in the south bay. This truck being 6200lbs will make for a bad azz weekend warrior. My new rear bumper may add 50lbs over the one on it now. Uh oh

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
The only constant to this truck is change.............................
I love manuals, but I really like to go fast, and that is hard to do in a manual truck with a dual disc. Well, the conversion has begun. It's getting a billet triple disc Goerend torque converter and a built 47RH. I'll put an auto input in the DHD and redo the rear shaft. Now to decide on what floor shifter I want to go with..............

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Me too! Now I just have to decide on what tires to get for this. I'm thinking some treadwright retreads to bust some drifts with, then get some soft compound tires for spring and summer.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
On mine, I went with the Lokar 16" shifter for the 518, which fits almost cleanly. I originally had the 23" for the 727, but ran into issues with both the mount to the housing as well as the height and the knob hitting the dash pad. The 16" fits in cleanly, and it's a floor mount item.
The only issue I've had with that relates to the angle on the push-rod. Where I wanted it mounted (right over the original shifter hole) made the push-rod go straight down, and I needed to change that around. While it's in there fine, I think that I would have tried to go with a cable shift model instead of the push-rod. Still haven't gotten the truck on the road, but hope to do it this weekend, and I'll let you know how it shifts.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Sounds good Scott. Whatever I use will be cable for sure. I just haven't decided which way to go. Buy a shifter or build one.
