Thanks for the compliments.
John S., no I haven't driven it yet as it is still sitting on blocks, as it has for the last year. I had only driven the truck about 10 miles after I bought it and thought the no synchro 4speed has got to go. It was actually your series of pictures that I pretty well used religiously to do as you did. I made the adapter plate myself with the help of a machine shop to turn out the centre, but from there I just started at the front rebuilding the things that I am finding wrong, broken or worn out and have been steadily working my way to the rear.
My eyes kind of glazed over the day I bought it, because the body was all done, I didn't look to close at anything else and just took the PO's word that this was done and that was done.
Live and learn.

Brian
