Looking good in blue. That's odd looking to me I see the transfer case but what is that on the front of it? It doesn't look much like a trans.

That is an NP435, the bell housing is not attached, it is on the motor already. That is probably why it looks odd to you.

With all the sweet looking blue paint it should be easy to see if anything starts leaking later. What engine mounts are you going to be using? I do like the use of the engine hoists to move the body around!

Well sorry, i was not aware

Holy Damn it is hot!

Got the engine/Trans/Transfercase set in the frame today. Set it in one piece, wouldn't want to do that with the body on it!

More room than I thought between the yoke and the cross bar for the radius arms
