I think maybe you're out of my league. I'm not a body man so I don't know how much I could do for ya. I know I'm gonna take a break on mine for a while. The interior is good enough for now, I've dropped about 2500.00 in it the first 2 months I've had it and like I said, I'm not an expert with the paint/body work which is what needs to be done next. So, I might come by and hold a flashlight for ya Scott!

Ok, another long day. The 72 broke down this morning when I got to the jobsite and I had to get a ride back to the house to get the 4x4. Had things to do at the youngest boys school, changes to make in the layout at work, a lawyer to visit with, a truck to pull home, a birthday party to get lined out for tomorrow, grass to mow, and now I'm gonna go crawl under this pickup and see if I broke a flywheel or if the torque converter came loose. So, wish me luck and for pete's sake, someone fix me a brandy..................

[scotts62]

your a pina colada and little umbrella guy arnt you..??

That sucks man!!! Yeah they make a helluva noise when torque converter bolts back off! Hope its something easy..

Man now you got me bummin cuz I'm not at the camper.

Anyway, it could have been difficult or it could have been one loose bolt............... it was one loose bolt. Thank god.

It happened so fast that I thought it was a fracture in the flywheel but one of the torque converter bolts backed out almost all the way and was hitting the block. If the rain hadn't stopped me from putting those 2 starter bolts back in, I'd be done!!!!!

I'll be back in fast lane again tomorrow!! If I can't sleep again, I'll get the flashlight out and I'll be back in the fast lane again tonight.

Yeah I'm kinda thinking about what colors might go with the olive interior since I'm not gonna change that. I'm still looking for a forest green seat from an 88-98 gm truck. I'm gonna keep mentioning that until one of you saps find me one!
