Well it is a stock 230 engine & tranny. Another problem is cieling height. If I lift the cab from the rafters of the Garage I am only going to be able to get the cab 6-8" above the frame. This means I would need to remove the steering colum to slide the cab back. Or I could build an A-frame to lift the cab above the steering in the driveway. Now I have really created some work. Momma would like the new A-frame lawn ornament
I think we may just seperate the tranny from the bell housing.
I am not doing a complete retoration I just want to clean everything up, spray some paint so the bed and cab are the same color and get my Christmas tree.
Yes that is my big goal, to have ma truck running and safe enough to drive that I can take my daughter up nort to da woods and cut us selfs a Chrismas tree. Mom says not with out seat belts so I am also now having to add this to the list.
Thanks,
Dave
