Re: Restoring Rusty

ladies and gentelmen, I may have pointed this out before, but it's worth saying again, I have picked out my truck for as much as it didn't have as for what it had

I did not want a 4x4, I did not want an Automatic, I did not want Air Conditioning, I did not want 3/4 ton or a 1 ton truck, nor did I want a long bed.

I wanted a 2WD, 350 V8, manual, short bed, plain Jane, dime a doze (or so I thought, but these plain trucks are harder to find than you know), simple and easy to work on.

And I pretty much got all that, but one thing. Ok, two things I wish the truck had.
1. OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION, I had no idea going beyond 1:1 ratio wouldn't become the norm till the 80's lol when I bought my beloved '74

2. POSI rear end, I mean paleaze One Wheel Peels are for kidz, ha ha, more on that later [spoiler alert]
and so The Greg went Big Game a hunting for a very rare albino samoan polar bear unit called the New Process 833 trans-a-mission

and on one faithful day back in December '15 he found one

AND WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY SHE WAS ~ TAKE A LOOK ~
