Sunny here, but may be the last day for it through the weekend. Going to be raining Friday, on my day off...of course.

I am getting a 1958 Remington replica that has a loading gate and will shoot cartridges. Most 1858's are cap and ball.

Pat, congratulations on finding your tranny with a truck attached. Sounds like you came out smelling like a rose on the deal.

Yeah, I couldn't have asked for a better deal! Now I can make sure I'll have all the extra parts I'll need. Can't beat the price either!

So when do you think you will have it moving under its own power?

Yep. In fact, score me an entire 89 F-250, 351W, ZF-5 tranny and TC. $350 + the salvage value of the truck, about 200. So, I can grab everything I need, including the motor, and scrap the rest.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Looking forward to seeing some pics of this project.
