Hey Jessie. I am talking about rebuilding the one I have now. All the areas on my truck that you see that are orange, they are the rusted and dented parts. There is WAY too much filler in my truck for my liking and rust is already creeping back through. The bottom of the doors and the front part of the hood and already bubbling with rust. Not to mention the inside door and cab jambs. It's getting pretty bad. It's hard to explain in pictures of just how rusted out this thing was when I got it. A quick look back at the build pics will show some of the rust issues and amount of filler I went through.

And yes I found an early 4L60 that is not computer controlled. I believe it came out of a 1990 GMC van. The only thing I had to do was get the tail-shaft swapped with one that has a manual gear for my speedo. The 4L60 had an eletronic one.
