I have been converting my Suburban from SM420 to an SM318 with B/W OD. Of course I had to swap out the torque tube rear. It has been fighting me every step of the way.

But I'm finally seeing the light. I have a re-built 3.90 rear installed in a '55 1st housing and the tranny installed with shifter hooked up.

Last night I made up a harness for it and got it installed. I got one u-joint installed but the other was too big. Back to NAPA to exchange it today.

I still need to install the lockout cable.

But after 2 months of cleaning parts, overcoming set-backs and obstacles and cleaning more parts I should be back on the road this week. WOOHOO!
