Re: And so it begins................
 

Ok, another long day. The 72 broke down this morning when I got to the jobsite and I had to get a ride back to the house to get the 4x4. Had things to do at the youngest boys school, changes to make in the layout at work, a lawyer to visit with, a truck to pull home, a birthday party to get lined out for tomorrow, grass to mow, and now I'm gonna go crawl under this pickup and see if I broke a flywheel or if the torque converter came loose. So, wish me luck and for pete's sake, someone fix me a brandy..................

:lol: your a pina colada and little umbrella guy arnt you..??:lol:

That sucks man!!! Yeah they make a helluva noise when torque converter bolts back off! Hope its something easy..

Re: And so it begins................
 

Nah, that man digs his Coke and brandy lol. Right out next to the campfire listening to the swamp swilligans all night.

Re: And so it begins................
 

Man now you got me bummin cuz I'm not at the camper.

Anyway, it could have been difficult or it could have been one loose bolt............... it was one loose bolt. Thank god.

It happened so fast that I thought it was a fracture in the flywheel but one of the torque converter bolts backed out almost all the way and was hitting the block. If the rain hadn't stopped me from putting those 2 starter bolts back in, I'd be done!!!!!

I'll be back in fast lane again tomorrow!! If I can't sleep again, I'll get the flashlight out and I'll be back in the fast lane again tonight.


:devil:

Re: And so it begins................

Re: And so it begins................
 

Why? Is that a good rust inhibitor? :haha:

Re: And so it begins................
 

I have the glove box emplem. I have the bed and fender. Ill take a look at the trim its yours if need be I have the headliner and trim. Im keeking the steering wheel but not the horn button. Its black. unless you have a green wheel with no cracks. door panels are ok but the trim is all there. Im using the cab well part of it and doors for my crew cab build. I am slicing up my burb for the rest

Re: And so it begins................
 

Wow, that sounds like a massive project. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Yeah I can probably use all that stuff. I did have the original green steering wheel but it was all busted up so I canned it and got me an old style grant!

Re: And so it begins................
