Got the engine and transmission installed. What a pain in the ass. Got it all bolted in and walked into the garage and spotted the plate that goes between the block and transmission, just sitting there, laughing at me. I took it and cut a notch at the bottom of the crank hole, separated the engine/trans about an inch and slipped it in. No harm no foul. sometimes you just have to walk away.....

No real updates, just lots of little things. But, enjoy this video of when I first got it. This truck was the body donor.

They look good. The Craig909 seems to be a decent guy. His videos are pretty good and it's nice to see a younger guy with as much enthusium for these trucks.
