Now you are bragging! I didn't have another roll and was too stupid to drive 5 miles each way for just that....

Get to work... too much ck5 is a bad thing. Sometimes you gotta ignore it and get on the truck...
I guess it is helpful that my buddy with the 5.4 turd extraordinaire bring me rolls of it whenever I want...
Glad to see the progress!
Nothing major happened yesterday. I do have some family obligations while on my vacation, we took care of a bunch of those. Got a cup of coffee and a plan for today.
First thing will be cleaning up my garage.
Second will be putting tools back so I can find them.
Then I will be getting the rest of the drivetrain in. Transmission should be a piece of cake. Except for wiring for converter lockup. There was a thread in the garage about this that I will be visiting often. The T-case shouldn't be difficult either, but it will probably take a few times in and out. The spacer used to mate the 700R4 to the 205 mentions *possibly* having to trim the end of the tailshaft on the 700R4. I might be able to mate the two on the ground, but that gives it's own form of difficulties as well.

Yeah!!! Too much ck5 is a bad thing! Remember?!?!?
Jk man... Clean garage... Put tools away... Yeah that is a good idea. I waste a lot of time tripping over junk and looking for tools when it would take half that to stop and clean up a little. Family obligations are acceptable but forget that I said that because we most likely will give you a hard time about it but you are required to overlook it when we have our own family obligations.

Hmmmm I know a rig those might work on just fine!!!
So the 700 and the 205 are mounted. Tried test fitting a front driveshaft. Them pulled it out and ground away the stops. Haven't put it back in yet. Really want a doubler now. The driveshaft is really close to the trans pan. Like, really close. I don't think I will have any contact given the fact that I have those 48 inch Rough country springs in the front, but it makes me nervous. Still need to hook up shifters and TV cable, wiring for lockup, put the rear yoke in, pull the trans pan and put in the new filter, fill everything. Need to do brake hoses, shocks, buy a rear driveshaft, pinion angle shims, see if the e-brake cables are gonna work, and a bunch of stuff I can't think of at the moment.
Good progress 
I had a th350/np205 and didn't have those concerns. Maybe it's a 700 issue?
Definitely a 700 issue, or more specifically a 700 with a 205 issue. 208s and 241's are setup more like a 203 where the front output is pushed back from the trans pan
Would a drive flange be better?
