Couple things to update.

I got all the small items for the front end painted last weekend. So everything for the most part is painted as far as the parts I have.

I ran across a 4l80e on CL for $300 so I went ahead and picked it up. Im planning to pull the pan. Cut the filter apart and look for any signs of damage. The trans was supposedly removed from a running driving van so I plan to run it as is for now. Worse case if its not right Ill have to pull it and have it gone through. For now Im hoping to do get away with a TransGo shift kit, filter and fluid. I figure the stock converter will be fine.

Im getting a 10x18 shed delivered this week so that will put me closer to being able to get the truck to my house. I need to quit spending money for the next month and get the ridetech suspension kit ordered as well.
