Not much work on my truck (BillyBob) but I did manage to get my Jeep's bellhousing/tranny/transfer case assembly mated back up to the engine and bolted in. Took about a hour but I had alloted much more grunting and cussing time to this task. Sometimes even a blind pig gets an acorn.

That's the good news. The bad news is that I found out that one of the rear suspension trailing arms in my Concorde (BettyLou) had completely rusted out and there was about two inches missing from the middle. Only thing keeping the two remaining pieces from dropping is the brake line clamped to them!

I drive like a old man but I'm surprised I haven't noticed any handling problems. I ordered a new trailing arm and it looks like I'll be cutting rust on the Concorde is in my near future.
