Bring me your parts truck so I can go through it and tear what I need out of it!!
2500 base model RCLB... got it from another member who was using it for a donner for engine and trans on here. was gonna build my own single cab short bed out of it... I have everything but a tranny to put it back to running shape. even located a short bed but money and storage a overly tight at the moment and I currrently have 3-4 other things already going at the same time. was trying to part it out.

BTW what rear end do you have??? Stock 10 bolt??? Hit me up if you need a 14 bolt that will bolt in. I picked it up a while back for one of my many projects...LOL

I might hit you up for some stuff then from now on, your only 15 min bike ride from me which would make things alot easier and cheaper for me if/when I need something...like dowel pins!!

I will let you know about the rear end...sounds possible but I think I might go with a Dana 60...eventually.

So anyways, here's the culprit...



Tranny mount has offset bolt hole location for the tranny tabs. Not sure what the purpose of that is other than to **** with people...but I wish I would of checked it alot sooner!!

Oh well, I'll be sure not to make that mistake again! So now ya'll know!
I ordered some Dowel pins from summit like I mentioned and a polyurethane tranny mount for ***** and giggles for $10 extra. Should be here wednesday...I hope.

I did finish the brakes today since I had some time to kill before the dowels arrive. Bled the ******* things which took me 1.5 hours!
Note to self: Never try to bleed brakes on your own...only makes things worse!!
Got them all finished and buttoned up and re-routed the brake lines with my modified brackets and I think I overdid it by covering the stainless steel lines with (forgot what it's called) The plastic sheathing found one wires looms.
Anyways, I'll get pictures up at a later time.

YOU SUCK!!! j/k
Dammit...wanna sell it as well as your dowel pins? I could always return this stuff to summit unopened and get my money back!!
This is the tranny mount...
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ENS-3-1108R/
And the dowel pins...
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TCI-930055/

I could come by and pick it up along with some dowel pins tomorrow, and I could get the tranny in and bolted in and move on to the next phase!!
How much you want for them, is your tranny mount polyurethane?

yea I don't understand why they'd make the mount offset like that

just so you know, they motor mounts and tranny mounts NEED to be the same material that way they flex the same way.
