Re: Ehhh 76 builld

Well picked up a 700r4 at pullapart today for free I went in there for the shock mount bolts that go though the frame on the rear and as I was leaving the guy infront of me turned in a 700r4 as core for his new transmission said it was slipping in 3rd gear needless to say after talking the manager of pullapart into selling it to me he told me to just load it up and take it for free....

gonna install my rear shocks tomorrow once I get the bolts all cleaned up

So now ive got my transmission im just gonna rebuild it and throw this in the truck till I can get my ls motor swap funds gathered up
