ben shadys truck

Well he pulled the trans for me and found a rather large leak around the main support? Anways.. He got it all put back in and I'll be dammed if reverse still wouldn't work.. well I'm pretty sure we have it down to the GV being burnt up or at least the clutches in it are. So I called my ole buddy Pig and he just so happened to have a factory front half of a drive shaft.. He sent it out today so next week I'm pulling the GV back out and putting the stock front shaft in in it's place. Hopefully that will fix it. If not then the tranny will be going back once again..lol

But on a lighter note I got my new Southern Air a/c kit installed over the weekend so I now how super cold air conditioning in my ole blue beast. Also I have something up my sleave for the dash... I'll get pic's once I get er done....

Once again Thanks again Matt for saving my neck.

good going forgot about the gear vender

I did some work today to the inside of my bed. Ever since we cut the hole I've hated what it's looked like.. So before I bedline it this weekend I figured I'd fix it a lil... Here's pic's

Now I just gotta seam seal it all. Hopefully my new dash overlay will be done tomorrow. I've having a piece of stainless lazer cut for my gage face. It's going to be almost like the factory one.. except it's gettin a hole for my digital gages where the vent is, it's getting holes cut for my toggles where the a/c controls were and it's getting 2 other pieces to go where the lower vent/light switch is to tie it all in and on the other side it's going to have the holes for the vintage air control nobs cut in it where the factory radio once was.

Don't worry I'll have pic's to explain it all. The driveshaft Matt is sending me will be in monday so hopefully I can tune on the motor for a lil bit b4 I gotta drive this beast to Biloxi...
