Actually took the better part of the weekend, but I boxed the trans crossmember

added some reinforcement to the floor where the stringer was cut for transmission clearance

and pulled the pedal assembly out to repair the broken weld at the pivot point

Spent $1100 in remodeling supply's at Home Depot. My 1 ton van hit the 3rd leaf spring. It took 4 hrs to collect everything & load the van. I had every lot employee at Home depot checking out my van, even the tellers were looking out the door instead of checking out the other customers, they were arguing who on wanted to load it. all of them, had 6 guys loading the van. It was 1/2 way up the windows the full length of the van. A 5ft wide x 14 ft long 2350 lb load.

Who wants to volunteer to unload ?

Finally got the quadrajet tweaked to a usable level. I feel like I've conquered something.

Well, yesterday I installed a new tailshaft housing in place of the US GEAR OD unit. I am looking for the appropriate length drive shaft. If anyone has one, please measure it for me so I can know what to look for. Or if you are in the Louisville KY area I'll buy it off of you if you are parting out a van or have extras. Thanks

Well, I fabbed up a drive shaft at work. I used 62" from ear to ear and that worked good. Probably could have went 62.5" and been fine also. I also fixed the a/c. I'm getting the van ready for a trip to Daniel Boone National Forest next month.

If anyone has a good set of 3.42:1 hears for a 14-bolt let me know. I have 4.10's I would trade you.

Installed my new Swivel bucket seats today. Had to take it for a test drive. They feel great and fit perfectly. It was a good day.

Took more of the old custom interior out and disconnected the back-up alarm.
Now it looks and sounds less like a trash truck. smile
