Thanks guys, it's not going anywhere yet. I've got an SM465 I want to install and I've never done a swap like that. My rational side says to put a truck/RV shift kit in the TH400 and forget about it but I want a keeper with a clutch. I'm almost done with the home projects I want to do this year so I'll have time to play with the trucks again soon.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild

I'd still love to see some cool updates on your rig. It's such a tight utilitarian approach.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'll have some updates soon. I had some patch panels out yesterday measuring how much I'll need for some floor repair. Honestly I've been waiting for it to cool off some, the last six or eight weeks have been brutal!

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild

Fellow board member made2drag stopped by today, the plan was to take the seats out and the tailgate off so I'd have good access to the floors for some rust repair and freshen up the 'gate internals while it's off and replace the hinges. Pics below of the rear floor rot.
