RAK Shop Shark R Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 192 Bend, Oregon	Brought my 61 Apache half ton to a shop my neighbor uses. My tranny was not good and they said they could handle it. Now 7 weeks later they are saying it's not the T 89 BW they thought it was? The parts they are ordering are not fitting and they think it's been modified in some way to work with the 327 engine.I am totally confused and I think they are too.Why is this so confusing for them? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Last edited by RAK; 01/07/2011 5:55 PM. RAK 1961 Chevy Apache 10 Flatbed 1958 Chevy Apache in the Gallery 'Bucket pictures
