[99 to Life]

Nov 7th,

Well about 2months with no posting. I have had the truck out a couple times but I want to change my pinion angle. As you can see I'm about 4-5 deg pos. I was thinking about just getting 6 degree shims from summitt and running them for a while to get me to about -2 deg. I have a two piece drive shaft as well, for the time being, so I think that has been def helping me. I never felt any vibrations or anything, except 5th gear had a different sound to it than any other gear, so I'm not sure if it is the trans or is actually the pinion angle.

Anyway, I'm hoping to do this before the end of the year and maybe get her out a couple more times. I have a few other things I might do such as install door lights/courtesy lights and I'm going to redo my bed.

I am going to start on the 52' over the winter. Still fumbling with what I really want to do as far as the frame and engine. I'm wanting to use the 235 and OG (original) frame. I also should be starting another small block with vortec heads possibly and I have another s-10 frame. So there could be a mix of two more builds to get started before I really figure out which is getting what set up. I'm really itching to get another going and just keep messing with the 51' in between.
