Drove it again this evening. Just short trips around town to do stuff, but it sure is nice to have the Dakota as my daily to work and Frankentruck as the fun truck for after work.

I've decided that I want to rebuild the 3 speed overdrive. It's just too neat to not to.
I do want a tremec though, so there's a possibility that one might find a place in Penny instead. Penny is more of the "hot rod" truck while Frankentruck will be staying with the stock-ish farm truck look.
