Getting there! took the night off on it. Got my driveshaft back tonight. Hopefully start getting the truck torn down this weekend and get the trans and tcase ready to go. At that point it will just be waiting for the converter and I can throw it in the truck and start all of the odds and ends to get it running

Getting closer. Circle D converter came in today. Also my Comp Trunion Upgrade. Got the shift kit installed in the trans this weekend as well. Hopefully get my heads back tonight and have the motor finished up in the next few days. Just a matter of pulling the old stuff and dropping everything in now.

Got ambitious last night. Got the motor finished up and got the truck tore apart. Motor is about an hour away from being ready to pull.
Trunion Upgrade- Took about 20 minutes, super easy
What a mess

got the T case out, man what a *****! After I got it out, all 20 so of the bolts that hold the case together were so rusted that they didnt really have edges. Had to hammer a smaller socket on every ******** bolt. Finally got it apart after about 2 hours.
Got everything done besides the last snap ring that holds the input shaft and gears into the case. I cant get that bastard off. I dont have a set of the special horseshoe snap ring pliers, and I broke my nice craftsman ones trying to get it apart. Have to regroup on that today after work.
excuse the messy floor, we just got 4" of rain so everything got wet and the frost is still coming out of the ground.Fun
Hopefully get the motor pulled tonight, running by next weekend.

Got the motor out last night. Need to run new fuel lines as the current ones are crusty as hell. Might as well with everything out. Also going to clean up what I can before putting everything back in.
