It’s finally coming together. Second pic shows the color a little better. Flash washed it out in the other one..
Carquest says they'll have it by 10 AM tomorrow morning... here's hoping on that
Looks nice! I know you'll be happy to have that knocked out

That's for sure. I still have the shelves to finish, heater to install, swap out the toilet. new dimmer switch and some base molding. With a little luck, a lot of that could be done tomorrow. If I hadn't taken the last 2 days off, it would have been mid August to get to this point. Just takes forever when you only have a few hours then clean-up and go to work

don't know. in the mojave river basin and the river itself I guess. good thing about a underground river is all the water goes into it eventually. Theres a few lakes around that were low as well.

Not much, I was going to go over to a friends house today to swap in the 727 I got for it but then I realized.... The 727 is 5 inches longer and I would of needed a new driveshaft and u-joints. I am just going to wait until I get an 8 3/4 so I don't need to have 2 driveshafts built. And the kickdown linkage I bought is for a 904 so I need to figure that out.

I ordered all the new parts to fix my truck after my little crash so those should be here monday then that'll be drivable again.
Fun transmission games. Yeah, been studying on the 904 lately. Having some issues with mine. Most annoying after finally getting the front end rebuilt and brakes updated. Only driven it for about 100 miles since getting it down from the jack stands
Getting parts is sometimes more than half the battle

Ya tell me about it... I ordered them from LMC truck, I've heard good things about them so I'm not too worried.
I ordered a bunch of 46 Chevy truck parts from them .

I got the better style bumper plastic trim thing from a blazer and a black grill this time so it should look a little better than it did before the crash

The mighty Mojave River in Barstow on one of the rare occasions it actually flowed
Can't recall when my homie Bill took them.
Have you ever worked on your cars so much during a day that you find yourself sitting behind the wheel at 1:30 AM just staring to space then you realize......damn, I'm tired
I worked on the K frame, Started sand blasting some more wheels, mounted my paint shaker, sanded on the white valiant some more, and swapped the front end on a duster with better fenders, and organized and sorted through a bucket of keys.
