to police chopper flying over day & nights with there spot light on most the time in the Highland Park & Eagle Rock areas.
I've been in San Jose Ca. since 83 and it's getting almost as bad as LA was in the 70's.
Oh well what can, I say when we've been invaded by undesirables.

Besides the 4 obvious screws on each side, how do you remove the grille inserts on a 71? Does the center piece pop off?

What kind of issues will I have changing a few transmission seals? Anything going to pop out and go flying? Or get out of adjustment? My main concern is the linkage and tailshaft, the pan is a no brainer and neither the cooler lines. Since I have the engine out, I figure to drain the torque converter and replace the front seal. Any recommendation on replacing that seal?
I only drove the truck a short time before pulling the engine, 60 mile trip home and 4-5 times around the block, it shifted fine.

A/C for a non-factory A/C truck.
Seems like a good place for this. My 1970 F250 w/302 auto came with no A/C, factory or otherwise. Which means, now that I want to add A/C, I want to find the best or "usual" place to bring the A/C hoses from the engine compartment into the passenger compartment.
So, is there a "standard" place to make huge gaping holes in the firewall, or just put them where ever I choose? ( I know there is probably a standard area, just not sure where, assuming somewhere on the drivers side between the M/C and trans tunnel)
Thanks for the responses and have a great day
