1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

Rear steering on the mall crawler? That'll make things interesting...

Makes it easier to get around the MALL parking lot.

Trans is in,

What a pain it was....

Had to lower the truck down on Jack stands twice and my harbor freight trans Jack was making it go up sideways...

 

[Babaganoosh]

Odd angle of a picture but it looks cool.

Nevernmind the mess I was to tired to clean so I shoved it away.

 

[truck-oholic]

Wish I was as close as you to putting my front clip back on . . .

 

[ashman]

The stance on that front tire is sick bro!

 

[Babaganoosh]

It's the Chevy Ifs thing.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Because- racecar.

 

[Babaganoosh]

He speaks!!! Miss you posting here wade with your knowledge, hopefully you not posting means I'm doing it right.

The Jimmy getting some attention? I definitely want a picture of them together at the bash.

 

[ktmoutfront]

You have enough people commenting that I don't have to.

The Jimmy is wheelable. Headed out Saturday.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Understandable but you guided me through a ton!

That is great news.

Good job baba. Is the Trans in good working order?

 

[Babaganoosh]

It should be, it has a shift kit, corvette servo, Kevlar bands and clutches, 5 pinion planateries and a .500 boost valve.

Should make for a good trans and burnouts.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Have a couple questions, does the front core support have shims under it and above the frame to space it up? Mine seems to be a inch off. Can someone take a picture of their setup?

Also should I use a gasket between the trans and t case or should I just silicone it?

I didn't have a gasket when my 465/208 went together last September...just silicone...no leaks so far.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Right stuff.

I prefer gaskets, but lots of people use silicone.

I used silicone last time and now it drips a little. Next time I'll use a gasket.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Right stuff.

Love this stuff until it's time to pull it off.

 

[ktmoutfront]

I use gaskets for that connection. Last time I looked for one, I could not find one locally.

 

[y5mgisi]

Should be a gasket. And I don't think there are any shims under the front body mounts.
