"low and slow is the way to go" no trim ring and the skinny whites look really good

shawno72 · 02-05-2013, 06:32 PM

Well I just gave my key to the guys at the tranny shop. Unfortunately I am off work tomorrow so it will be hard for me to take any pictures. I'm thinking maybe I could have Ron snap some pics of the progress for me.

I think we are going to go with a one piece drive shaft as well

Rusbuilt · 02-07-2013, 12:43 PM

Sweet ShawnO!!

NewType72 · 02-07-2013, 12:47 PM

Man I need to have one rebuilt and put in. I know I'll have to shorten my one piece drive shaft and figure out how ill mount my 700. But doing the other stuff to make it function is what boggles me like the linkages and how it affects gear selection at the column

They are using my factory th350 linkage that I got off the forum here so your linkage should not be an issue.
