    The truck looks pretty good now that I've buffed and compounded the paint. It's still going to the body shop this fall

    I have put roughly 50 miles on the truck since doing a rebuilt th400 and junkyard 350. So far everything's good. I had to unstick a ring in the engine as it did smoke but after a few hard runs it quit smoking. It also had a little bit of blowby but its all but gone now. I have a feeling this...

    4wd long tube exhaust routing

    Looking at those pics actually helps me a ton. Im 95% positive I have enough exhaust pieces to build a crossover like that and clear my pan now that I think about it.

    4wd long tube exhaust routing

    I'll try and fit my pipe that way again just to see but, Im almost positive with the headman headers the pipe will hit the pan I'm running.

    4wd long tube exhaust routing

    So I have searched and haven't came up with an answer to my question yet. This said here's what Im hoping someone here can help me with. I have a 89 k3500 that I'm basically doing a full restoration on. I have the truck back together and running and now it's time to do the exhaust I have 100%...

    well I decided after work to install the engine. It would be running if I had my header gaskets.

    Its been a minute but I'm still around. I have had the th400 rebuilt and after I got it put back in the truck I developed a rod knock. At some point I will have the truck back on the road.

    I've not been on here and I haven't really had a whole lot to say update wise. I decided to have the transmission rebuilt but it came back with only reverse and first so I have to pull it and take it back to get whatever went wrong fixed. People make mistakes and as long as it gets resolved I'll...

    Ive got the transmission just about ready to go. I test fit the transfer case it slid right on. I've changed the modulator put a new front pump seal in and cleaned the mud off the case. I have a new converter flexplate and pan on the way. I also plan on running a case mounted shifter.

    idk if it's had a rebuild or if it's just been well taken care of but either way I'll take it.

    so I have gotten a th400 to go in my truck since the sm465 is toast it'll also help my knee. To my surprise this things really clean on the inside and the fluids clean. I'm gonna put a new pan/filter in with a new converter. I feel confident enough in it to put it in the truck without a rebuild.

    So 3rd gear finally came apart on me. It's a super common issue with these old sm465s. I could rebuild it but I've been wanting a 5 speed for awhile now so that's the route I'm going.

    My new trans mount showed up today. It's supposed to be stronger than a stock replacement. I have noticed it's thricker than a stock mount and it also seems to be built a little bit tighter than a stock untit.

    I finally took the truck for it's first drive since it's rebuild today. Since it was a decent day I decided to take it to the car wash.

    I've not really done much to the truck other than a fresh vr1 oil change and I finally got the registration fixed.

    its only a mock up but my exhaust idea is slowly coming together. I can basically get all the pipe I want so once I get this figured out I run a full system.

    Ive got to tidy up the wiring but all the gauges that I have on hand are now in and working. I'm hoping the speedo will show up this week so I can button up the interior.

    I haven't done a whole lot to the truck here the last few days. I put the better tailgate on it and fixed all the electrical gremlins. Gauges will be going in as soon as the speedo shows up

    I've got a 6" tach I was running before I did the cab swap and other stuff. It'll be going back in place on the dash.

    so my gps speedometer hasn't showed up yet so I can only do a sorta mock up. The funnel is the same size as the speedo so it at least gave me a visual. The tac will be going on the dash like it was in the old cab.

    Probably not I'm leaning more towards a aggressive all terrain. To much grip breaks parts not enough and all you do is slip. I need good wheel speed with just enough traction
