Didn't expect the tranny to let go. Replaced it before the fire with Monster's racing trans. Doing a little more research yields that Monster doesn't always put out a quality product. So, it'll come out for a rebuild by Phoenix Transmissions in the Dallas area.

Hadn't finished the heater yet. Was going to be a winter project. I just looped the inside hose from the inlet right back to the outlet. Firewall fittings are a -10AN male bulkhead to a 1/2 NPT female fitting.

....then threaded in a 1/2 NPT nipple into it on the interior side.

Re: AJ's '72 Cruiser Crawler Build

12/10/22 Back from the dead update

Life happens. Got divorced. Got remarried. Kids are in high school now. K5 got mothballed for a couple of years here and there. Driven it here and there, put it in a few shows. FINALLY have time, and $$, to make progress on it. Big things planned over the next year have been put in motion.

Here's how the K5 sits today:



My son and I spent some time in PHX hatching an evil plan with Dan Hogan


Meanwhile... If you followed the body mount post, it led to a discussion with Art Morrison about this...


AND.... here's where we're going with it all...


Stay tuned....
