    95 Farm Truck Build

    one of my last mods were these big old school tow mirrors they really made the build pop. Used some abs plastic as block offs and sealed everything up with silicone. That’s pretty much the entire build so far. It took me about a year total, and I’m no mechanic, I’m just a hack that likes to...

    95 Farm Truck Build

    I finished the metal work and put some sideboards on it. I bought some knockoff KCs and a bunch of gas pipe and put together a very cheap light rack to go in the bed. Which turned out pretty good. The dog liked it at least I then saw a truck with a wood bed in this style with stake sides and...

    4L60E Transmission not responding

    Project just getting started. But everything that can be removed below the body is new transmission aside, and all metal refinished and sealed inside and out. Working my way upwards now.

    Metal part of the body mounts

    I crafted some. Bought a 24” section of 1-1/8 round bar. Lathed it to have a 13/16 bore. Then bought some 3” diameter 1/8” thick mild steel discs and welded them center onto the steel(tube) and bored the face of the disc out center. Then run them thru the rubber bushing and bolt thru the bottom...

    Heater Hose Part numbers

    @someotherguy So I finally took some pictures. It was not the heater core side I am talking about. I didn’t cut those pipes but just the rubber to get the hoses off. This appears to be threaded into the water pump. It is not to be confused with an AC line as I removed those. It goes on the...

    Huge torque converter gap after trans swap

    Allright so I’m a bit of a drunk I’ll admit: I forgot to torque down the bellhousing completely with my big muscles. The gap is now true 1/4” I’m gonna slap some 1/8” washers on there and leave 1/8” clearance on the back side and call it good. Sound about right to you guys?

    Huge torque converter gap after trans swap

    Should I shim it until there is zero gap all the way from the pump to the crank? Probably get longer bolts too?

    Huge torque converter gap after trans swap

    Let me clarify what I mean. So once I have everything installed. I can slide the torque converter flush with the flex plate but the 5/16 exists between the pump and the TC. Is that normal? Note my engine is the 4.3 vortec.
