week 28 - Big milestone this week. I spent about 26 hours on the truck project. I finally got the frame cleaned and painted. Before I could do that I had to remove 4 of the 6 running board mounts and remount them higher up. I also reenforced them while I was at it. I decided that I did not want to use the transmission with the transfer case hanging off of it, so I found a shop on Craigs list that would rebuild my transmission for me and convert it to a 2X4 tranny. They also through in a new drive shaft with the smaller spline. The old tranny cross support bracket will not work with the 2x4 mount, so I will have to build a new tranny cross support next. The last pic shows the tranny clearance problem.
