Been tinkering on the truck a bit and decided that three-on-the-tree gobbledygook shifter had to go. So what’s one to do? Simple, add a T5 to it!

This of course, involved swapping the rear to a 58 Apache open axle which completely ditches the enclosed driveline. It drives MUCH better now. Added a few new engine bits, sealed up leaking gaskets, and now there’s not a drop of anything under the truck. Before I couldn’t put enough cardboard down to keep my floor clean. New tires, master cylinder, and a few other bitsas. Coming out nice!

What’s next? I’m not sure but, I’m thinking a driver quality paint job in Washington Blue would look pretty killer in this. Everyone loves patina, but I’m not a fan of it. Of course if I go down that route I might have to yank the cab and bed off the frame, new glass, seals, interior, add an old school 392 Hemi….you know, just a few things.

Cheers
Dave
