Yep. He goes off to college in August. Time with him pretty much dictates my summer plans. He's hoping to drive the '77 C10 to school and I want to encourage his enthusiasm. But, he's run into a transmission problem he can't afford to fix. The 700r4 is completely skipping 2nd gear. I talked to a local transmission shop and they theorize the 2nd gear band is toast. A full transmission rebuild would cost almost as much as he paid for the truck itself. I'm going to open a thread elsewhere on the forum to see if anyone has any helpful advice. This is the kind of problem that takes the fun out of a project.
