Update:
We pulled the engine and tranny today. Wow! took 2 steps forward and 10 back. You guys won't believe what we found. Take a look at the pics! I have been wrenching for a long time and I have never seen anything like this. When I purchased this truck from an in-law it was running and driveable. It has sat for a few years. I'm 100/% certain he didn't know about this J-B weld thing. I planned on hauling it to the car wash and sticking right back in the short frame. Now we are looking for a good running used engine or a builder.
Same stuff different day. By the way, Just in case you wondered, I do have a real nice shop It's too full of junk and my boat to get this project inside right now. I figured this would be a running truck pretty quick, guess not.
