Finished her up Sunday!

This is what it took to swap my C4 for a C6 in a 72 F100 302 LWB:
New trans cooler lines
Linkage (used threadall)
I used mount from C4
Moved crossmember back 2 inches, I had to drill frame
Drive shaft from a 73 F100 with C6

I think thats it. When I write it down it doesn't seem like much. But all together it took me maybe 25 hours. Thats pulling two transmissions and installing one.

After test driving it I remembered the joy of drum brakes. So I'm off to the boneyard this evening to get a disk front end.

Thanks For all the help guys,
Josh
