I can't wait for the video of that truck in the mud.

I think I came close to my goal, I made a lot of decisions along the way but I came close to my original concept.

is the wheel base as short as a blazer, it looks shorter.

Thanks guys, it means a lot.

I have a new problem... the tranny (th400) is acting weird. At first I thought it was low and adding a quart or so of ATF seemed to help. It act like a standard slipping the clutch. I rev it high 3-4000 rpm it starts to catch and I let off the gas and away I go. It happens every time I start off. I haven't put the vacuum line on yet but I don't think that will fix it. Any ideas?
