Re: Project "Tracy Lee" 59 Apache

Got the truck back from the shop today and it feels good to have all gears available! Apparently it was a "fresh" rebuild when I bought the truck. My tranny guy said it looked like new in there but the valve body was rusted. Apparently whoever sonic cleaned the valve body used water instead of the oil-based cleaner. The truck sat for 1 1/2 - 2 years and the VB was exposed to the Texas high humidity hence the rust. Well I have a new VB and she can fly! Now I need to do a full check/replacement of the brakes and she'll be ready for the road!
