Didnt get pics of the crossmember.all i did was cut the stock mount off of the crossmember and weld it to the back side of the crossmember,lined up good.trans is in



Accessories are back on and everything is wired back up



Only thing left to get/do before exhaust and tune is

Figure out the the d shaft, i think i need a new yoke from a th400 to make it work
Run lines to the Trans cooler
Find/make a bracket for the gear selector
Put headers on

 

Sorry for abandoning you guys, ended up getting everything worked out and got the truck running and driving great.getting the same gas mileage as I did with the 200k mile 4.8 and 60e.blew out the spider gears soon after and swapped in a locker.since everything has been going good i have acquired some new goodies....have a 224 cam, dart heads, ls6 intake, ls1 accessories,and new 45lb ls1 injectors to go on as soon as I have free time to tear it down again.will try to keep it updated with pics.also swapped in some power wondows, mirrors, and seats out of a 02 parts truck.guess it isn't a work truck any more.

 

Videos and pics!

 

its still a work truck, just a little more creature comforts and a stitch or 2 quicker.

 

nice work! so you ended up using a TH400 yoke and the driveshaft fit?

 

Exactly, I'm not sure on which one it was because I got it from a friend and had to use a conversion u joint but Yea the stock d shaft works
