So went to the shop today and had the truck jacked up so we could check the rear end ratio and its a 3.08. We also decided to take the cab and front off together so we'll have a lotta room to work and my buddy's is going to start the engine on the stand first to make sure it runs properly before it goes in the truck. While the front of the truck is off I can clean and paint the engine bay.

Quick question about the transmission...when I looked on carpart.com for a tranny the is a choice between a tranny from a single cab and extended cab truck. Is there a difference between trannies in both body styles?
