Re: Papa's truck build up
Got 5 of the 8 holes drilled on the driver side notch. It was way harder on the driver side!! Broke 4 bits... I'll finish it and bolt up the axle weds.

Re: Papa's truck build up
Not a glamorous update but I did finally get the transmission bolted up and finished. Hopefully now it'll get to the trans shop for final prep and then driving pix!!

Re: Papa's truck build up
Well, hopefully I can get the truck to the trans shop this week. The Darryl Starburd show is the 16th and it wd b awesome to drive it over on Sunday.
Also, I'm starting on the new weatherstripping for the doors today if I can get some time... Two girls take a little more time than I'm used too. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Papa's truck build up
Just picked the truck up 2 days ago. I'm going to try and drive it a bit on Sunday and see how it does. I'll post up remarks after.

Re: Papa's truck build up
Drove the truck ab 65 miles tonight. It did great and it was so quiet w the sound deadener and the lower rpms. 65mph and 2000 rpm is way better than 55mph and 2900!!
