Cool. What transmission are you going to use?

Probably a zf5 from a ford gasser with the small block pattern, unless I cant find one for a reasonable price, otherwise I'll see how many M5OD-R2's I can break. Those seem to be all over the place for cheap.

WELCOME BACK! :D
done with the PT Cruiser eh? :D

HEY THERE TC! Thanks for the welcome! Its good to be back, and I hope to be burning oil soon!

Finished the wiring harness slim down. Got it down to only the wires that will be used. ;Sweet
Also picked up a gasser zf5 still mated to the 1356.

Been working on converting the stock fuel system.

Got both gasser fuel pumps removed, as well as the fuel pressure regulator, and filter.

Also tore out all the stock fuel line. I have 30ft of stainless on order to replace it.

Tested out the sending unit, it seems ok, so it will say. I just extended the pipe down for a pickup were the pump was.

Got the fuel filler mod done, and knocked out the gas sized nozzle restricter.

did some more painting on the frame rails. Man its a lot of work making a truck! :rotflmao

body mounts suck

started adding the 3" body lift last week. I'd prefer to not have any body lift, but I need all the room I can get in the trans tunnel.

In doing so I discovered the rear cab mount brackets to be rotted through. You can see in the pic where the new bushing is waaaaay smaller than the new custom rust hole...

So I had to cut the rivets off to remove the brackets. Looks like the the 3/16th" thick washers I found will work well. Now I just need to cut away the bad metal and weld them in.

got the bad metal cut out, the brackets cleaned up, and the washers welded in.

Fresh coat of paint, good for another 30 years! :Thumbs Up
