. Got front clip back on, raidator mounted, large trans cooler mounted ,engine chain down,battery mounted, front Bump to the top! stops in, cross brace over rear drive shaft notched an remounted, front drive shaft took out to upgrade to 1410 joints an got rid of double vilosity joint. mounted trans temp gage. ready for fuel if it only had a front end under it.  Sad Took it out, striped it to just a housing. Haveing housing milled an fab up mount to fix the two stud problem I had. O-so close  the DIRTIEST WEBSITE on the NET!















Axle had outers cut off - turned center section to limit some drive shaft angle - outers welded back on - shim welded on spring plate too fix sping angle - witch leaves the two studs at the wrong angle - this is how I got axle - if you see in pic they bolted square stock to axle at wrong angle and fixed by bending square stock in rear adding threaded rod- - front treaded rod in axle front stud hole - locked down square stock with nut - then bent threaded rod too fix wrong angle. This my have worked for them but I know it has been bugging me sence I got axle. I new I had to do something an never adressed it till now.  I'm Thinkin  will be strong when it comes back from its surgery

Chain -- is to do just that help limit engine movement chained both sides - headers are  really close on passanger side down by frame. Just figuered this would help things  Or crack my head  Who Knows? I  love all  input. Let me have it guys good or bad idea on chain ?







Got trailer to haul it now.  Now pressures on. Time to finish truck for TRUCKS GONE WILD



March 11, 2012,
Well poured fuel  in fuel cell the other night. Only had one very small drip from a fuel filter. Got new one on the way. Fired engine up tonight. O such a sweet sound BBC. Still have to pull distr-cap to put new msd rev limiter cap on. Dam was it nice to hear it run. Love the new electric fuel pump ,new carb. fired engine with first turn of the key. Still have to set timing. replace drain plug seal on transmission pan its got slow drip.

April 15, 2012
Got axle back an really like how stud problem was fixed turned out great. Not very good pics sorry. Got it all back together. Pulled it out to test brakes an feel it out.





First time moving under own power  VIDEO


Engine still needs little fine tuning set timing just right. was little anxious too have it move. LOL
Test went very wrong.    The only used part I put in this truck that was from someone elses word the transmission was a fresh rebuild my  How some poeple can do this. all I can say is he is lucky I deleted that pm i don't remember his name.

Trans back out Doing a complete B&M rebuild with bran new Hursh 3000 stall converter Hope to have back in by Thursday for exhaust to be welded in Flowmasters with 3"

May 2 2012                                        Sticks of Rome - Trucks gone wild 2012
Fixed trans had to block a hole in valve body. Was running with 1st an 2nd sharing fluid. Had a flawless week end truck ran great all weekend. Got to finish them wiper blades now LOL sticking arm out window with a window washer stick works still a pain. Made TGW  2012 Priceless weekend.

May 7 2012
Well after getting it cleaned up. I found I bent both rear main leafs an ripped one rear spring pocket and caved in body mount pokets. I was thinking mud was why it was sitting little lower in the rear. I was wrong. New I should have got them rear stops put in. 

June 1 2012
Well since trucks gone wild I have fried both my optimum batterys have not figuered out why maybe because I was bragging them up that they were like 13 or14 years old an worked in every thing I have. When to the bay city comp bogg a few weekends ago ran the 35 boggers in class 2. Won that class changed to 44 boggers an then starter took a Poo an split the starter gear in half. Was so looking forward too running 44s after doing so well with 35s. next time!!!! still running with badly bent rear main leafs know money to fix yet. Just put a new battey in it yesterday. hope it holds a charge or I have a wirring problem to fiure out.

Loaded up headed back too MMJ Pulled transmission.  Pulled a second transmission  apart for parts. Rebuilt put it back in. Ran all over mud pit transmission worked great.
