It got hot here in Texas, I've been busy with work, and I got distracted with other projects. I hope to start working on this again if it will ever freaking cool off a little bit! Plus I've had my K5 to drive lately so that has been giving me my old Chevy fix over the summer. Thanks for your interest guys.
I need to reread the last few pages of this thread just so I can remember where I am with this project. I think my next step is to finish pulling the wiring out of the donor body bed and cab so my guys can start the body work on those parts. I still need to stab the trans back in, but need to have it gone through by my mechanic to make sure it is all in good order before bothering to bolt it back in place. That way I'm not yanking it back out again after it's all put back together.
