Well, I haven't done to much to the truck the trans is still in the truck I'm going to pull it this weekend and hope its just the pump that's broke. I did buy a new instrument cluster with the trans temp in it 1 for the temp gauge and 2 hoping the tach would get fixed well, it didnt. but as my son was unhooking the jumper cables he bumped the fuse box and it started working so I need to dig in to that now.
On the other hand I have a 01 S10 that I'm parting out and I was sitting in the drivers sear the other day and got to looking at the column and an idea hit me i am working on putting a shifter in to the center column I just put in. I have been looking at shifters and cant find one that looks like it would be factory. So I found the newer F150/Raptor shifter to be just what I'm looking for and I think I can make it work and that leads to me stareing at the S10 column when I remove the column shifter there is going to be a big ugly hole there well as it happens to be the S10 was a 5 speed and I took the cover off and it fits the Silverado or at least the bottom part does and it looks like the top will as well. I need to pull the shifter out of the column first but I'll keep you updated.

I really like the way the exhaust came out. Do you have a close up and a picture of the whole truck from that side? I'm tempted to do something similar with mine. Depending on what it looks like to get a 3.5 over the axle. I'm liking the build.
Is the long for the black truck too?
