Wrench party in Sept?
Would anyone be up for a wrench party sometime in Sept? Since I am getting Mater registered soon I want to get my tranny rebuilt. I was figuring we could have it at my place unless Dave Sr. is willing to let me borrow his shop if it is empty. I am not seeting anything right now cause I still have to get the body mounts finished and weld in new floors. I was thinking more towards the end of the month, unless I finish everything else sooner.

I'm game, Are we going to be dropping the tranny, rebuilding it and putting it back in?
|
Yes, that is the game plan. I have the rebuild kit sitting on my work bench and I have a few references we can go off of.
|
Just let me know when your ready and I will check with dad .It will be alot easier to do in the shop.
|
Sounds good to me...as long as it's not Labor day weekend the 6th and 7th.
|
Ha, make it for after I get back and I will be there!
|
It will most likely be the last weekend in Sept, so you will be here! Besides if I don't have the truck finished by then we will have to pull the tranny out and toss it in the back of your truck to get it to Dave Sr.'s shop.
|
Sounds like fun.

What do you have torn apart that you couldn't drive it over to the shop ?

Right now I have the drivers floorboard cut out and I am getting ready to cut out the passenger side. I also only have half the cab bolted to the frame. I am working on getting a new body bushing set, I found one that has all the pieces I need. After I get those done I will have no problem driving it.
|
OK I am working on the body bushings now. I am almost finished....would be done but I keep running into snags! Right now I am looking for grade 8 washers that are 1/2" inside diameter and 2" outside.
How does Sat the 26th sound for the tranny rebuild to everyone? |
Alright, I finally got everything I need to finish the bushings and be done with it all! The simplest job seems to take the hardest to find parts but can be resolved with a simple solution! Tomorrow the bushings will be done if it isn't raining when I get up, then it will be just to finish the floor pans! I did get a tag for Mater today so he is street legal now!
|
What's the scoop Andy ???
|
I got the body bolted to the frame again "CHEERING" and I have a friend that is going to bring a good welder over on wed to weld in the floor pan. I will finish up the other side after we finish the tranny. So if everyone is game we could do the tranny this Sat.
