Re: Transmission conversion
Great Its a half ton. Thanks for the info. I'm guessing a driveshaft out of a 47 open driveline should fit?

Re: Hi Temp damage
The braze that dropped out was a tunnel fire ignition fix and not a crack. I was in Paradise but now in Chico. I guess the question would be what were the Ford specs for Rockwell hardness ?

Re: fire damage
Thanks for the input. I believe the cooling process was probably very slow and the only picture I have seen shows a lot of rubble on top of where my stuff should be. Still no time line on when we can...

Re: C4 trans adapter
You can run a v8 transadaptor with the Flat-o kit and use the flex plate
that Rotofaze makes for this swap. Getting all this this lined up for 006 TIR
