I am at least happy to report that replacing the rear seal and/or cleaning up the corrosion on the yoke has so far appeared to fix it spewing ATF everywhere. Now to fix the remaining dozen issues... Leaking oil pressure sender (that's a whole 'nother thread), knock sensor(s), O2 sensors, driver's door hinge bushings, fix the complete hack job trailer wiring, fuel gauge not working, PRND321 indicator only lights in P, find the exhaust leak... And the latest, found a problem in the steering flex joint.

And still need a parking brake bracket or good pictures of one, so I can park somewhere other than on a level surface

Is your truck loaded to max capacity? I saw previous mention of the parking pawl, is yours not working?

I dont haul a lot of weight yet but just parking my empty truck doesnt require use of the p-brake. when I finally get it set up for trailering then I'll use it.

ETA: I'll get the pics today

Der Lastwagen The top of the box (that flat area) is being cut off to make it a more useful dump truck.

I think these are good enough that I see what I need to do. Probably get some 3/16" plate, cut out a bracket, and weld a tab with a gusset on it. According to the FSM, the brake tension is set to 50 pounds of tension, and 3/16" plate will have no trouble with that. All I need to do now is roll under the truck and measure the spacing between bolt holes.

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to take these pictures. I really appreciate it!
