Re: 72 Cheyenne Project: Straight Outta Options
With my 25th birthday just around the corner, my Dad decided he'd gift me a th350 trans he had professionally rebuilt 10 years prior but never used. Only issue, his was a long tailshaft, my truck was built with a short tail. Not to be deterred, and owning a lathe, he went ahead and cut 4 1/4" out of the front half shaft, then welded the slip yolk back in. Turns out, that it was 1/4" too long, and it eventually damaged the output shaft seal, and slowly drained itself of fluid (over the course of 51k mi). Also in 2010, I started dating the woman who would eventually give birth to my daughter.
We named our daughter Cheyenne. Lol I thought it only appropriate, since my C10 was built 11/71. My daughter's birthday is 11/17.
