Nate, well there go on the wheels. Awesome KDL!

Thanks fellas- hoping to have my tank back in possession by this coming friday from the radiator shop; it is getting boiled. it was recommended not to etch and seal with any modern tank sealer. they have not had good luck with them lasting more than a year in the last few years.

KDL's wheels look to match up with mine, I sent him some measurements to confirm, hoping to be figuring out shipping after the holiday if all goes as planned.

I preemptively ordered a nu-rex timing wrench, I hear the 4's are finicky with the automatic timing so I will have the tool when I get to that point.

no dice on the rear drums yet. My snap on guy loaned me the biggest puller he had on the truck to see if it would work, stud holes are not big enough. still looking for a puller that will work, preferably without spending $300-600, so any suggestions in that department I'd greatly appreciate it.

I took the transmissions top-plate off to take a look, pictures below. looks to be in pretty good shape, some wear on one gear, which one I am not sure maybe third? I do not claim to be a transmission guy. I do have some slop in the shifter, seems to want to spin in the cup about 30 degrees rather than slide from side to side in neutral. any recommendations to try and tighten this up some?

Also stumbled upon another fellow in his twenties with a 32 BB out of Missouri. His looks to be in a fully restored condition so hoping to get a chance to talk truck with him soon!

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend
