if you live in the east your bolts rust from the inside out lol acid rain eastern US cars are the absolute worst for rust, they are like cars that were in an ocean flood. those trucks all rusted out the supports rockers and cab corners coast to coast. they rusted right up into the lower door...

My 66 gmc the bottoms of the rockers, cab supports, all rotted away. power washed it built the shape with duct tape trimmed it to shape ground it off kitty hair and undercoat. kept the water and winter slush out of the cab for many years it actually stopped the rusting. patched the floors in...

before I bought a welder I had a ground clamp and stinger on leads to attach to a battery. Exceeding the duty cycle of the batter will burn it out or could blow it up so be careful and use precautions

I threw this together last night due to the part of the driveway I had to work in isn't covered by the flood light on the garage. yup that's a load lock! 3/4 TON BRAKE DRUM, bolted to a plate, welded to a steel load lock with a double gang box screwed to the side and a strap for a cord hanger...

lol awsome

A 331 and a smaller on on Craigslist in Omaha right now with transmission for cheep in car parts by owner... also a 1957 364 lincoln for 500 bucks There is a flathead v12 too but the guy is smoking his own dope.

I read once sprayng starter fluid around possible vaccum leaks is a good trick- listen for the engine to rev up a or smooth out

Not if it was between cylinders like mine

My 350 in my dually had a strange light throttle miss i could not nail down. the trans was weak so when it started to shudder off the line i assumed it was the trans it was the head gasket I had slick 50 in it which let it get hot enough before i noticed a drop in power to burn all the paint off...

I think the hardest parts would be the fronts of the front fenders and that body line from the rocker up and around the rear fender. There might be a way to not have to step the frame up front if you raked the body on the frame and maybe just sectioned the footwell area of the floor at an angle...

lol that phone

What you posted there...that valve body looks very well engineered and the price is good too

This one looks dummy proof http://www.atsdiesel.com/ats2/productdetail.asp?p=6019502104

this is the company i was thinking of http://www.usshift.com

I raised both fenders with the bottoms of the running boards... I left the passenger side headlight in the original location because it was easier XD and it shows the changes.

My apologies to the dude I just decapitated :D no pain no gain! You would step the frame right at the cowl the same amount you sectioned the running boards to avoid having to make the fronts of the fenders taller to reach down to the frame after raising the whole fender with the running board...

Cut here To make this

Do they even make a manual valve body for that trans? the way electronic transmissions work... many still have the spool valve that works off the manual gear selector but the pressure ports have solenoid pressure regulators that run off the computer. i suppose those could be manually controlled...

there is a universal programmable electronic trans controller that now sells for around $500 or less. I can;t remember the name but think summit sells it.

The parts in an automatic transmission you replace to make it stronger would be the hard parts like planetaries, drums, shafts etc... This raises the KFB factor... Replacing or adding clutches and steelsor adding a shift kit increases hold pressure and helps keep the clutches from slipping but...
