Hey Clem! I thought she'd be anxious too, but learned differently! LOL!

Thanks!!!
I would really love to do some burnouts, or spin a donut or two, and put in on film for you!
But the sad reality is, I stopped up to where the truck was stored for the winter early last week in order to take it for a spin and blow the cobwebs off from her. I took it for a nice easy drive, and after about 10 miles of driving, the transmission went to shift from 3rd into 4th, and suddenly started slipping severely in 4th. If I pulled it back into 3rd everything was good, but let it shift into overdrive and it would start slipping.
I trailered it to my dad's yesterday, and pulled the transmission out today.


This is a pic of my winter-beater that I recently purchased to replace my '95 Astro that had 320,000 miles on it.
I'll tell you what, the 400hp LS2 in this Trailblazer SS makes child's play of hauling the trailer with the '66 on it around town!!!

I will post more pics once that I know for sure what I am doing!
But a bulletproof transmission is in my current goals!!!
