Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed

So at this point in this trucks life the only things that haven't been rebuilt are the transmission and transfer case. Well after my last wheeling adventure, the transmission wasn't to happy with shifting and the torque converter is constantly unlocking and locking which makes the truck jerk violently. So I pulled the pan off and sure enough lots of metal shavings and burnt smelling fluid. I put new fluid in and it drives better but it is very lazy shifting and sometimes will slip. So on the 9th of April I'm dropping it off at a local transmission shop to get rebuilt. I also plan on buying a boat soon and don't want a questionable transmission far from home.

To top off a fresh rebuild, I ordered a deep transmission pan from B&M. Holds an extra 3 quarts of fluid, should be handy for when I'm towing in the future.

I painted the B&M logo black for some contrast, this is a VERY quality item the mill job is awesome.
