For Stock Rigs Only

I have no idea where you’re going with that but no.

 

I'll admit I'm completely at a loss at the moment.

 

When I reveal it, it’s going to make perfect sense.

 

Ok here is the story.

I use to have 2 bays in the 70’s and 80’s.
Anything driveline related was in those bays.
Motors, transmissions, rear ends.
At anytime I would have 2 motors, or transmissions apart.

This tool is a RWD vertical transmission stand.
Had a specific stud for orientation in the bell housing and the second bell housing
hole would line up and the valve would drop onto it.
This was for 727 and 904 transmissions.

Being vertical made the overhaul so much faster and setting the clutch drums
And spacers etc much more secure. Didn’t have to worry about things shifting if
The trans was on its side.
One of the things I’m most proud of is during my entire career ,of all the 100’s of engines
Transmissions, rear ends I have rebuilt, NOT ONE, NOT ONE ever came back with a problem.
I never had to redo anything I touched..... And luck had nothing to do with it..

 

Oof.

 

Yikes

 

All that matters

That's such a specific thing. I didn't have a chance at guessing it. That valve through me off completely too

 

So true.....though it may not have been a prop!

 

I used it for the grabbing surface. Easier to use with extra leverage

 

That's absolutely awesome! I've seen many videos of people rebuilding transmissions standing straight up and it makes so much sense.

 

I forgot to mention, I also picked up that full suspension set up off a 2014 TRD off road that was written off with under 20k miles on it. UCAs, coilovers, leafs, shocks. Debating just swapping them in but I do have brand new generic shocks and the leafs are only a couple years old. I will likely hold onto them for when I need them.

I also had to install a 7 pin plug to get the tent trailer home. Anyone know how to wire the 12V supply to it? I don't need brakes for it, but it would be nice to have the trailer charge while I'm pulling it. My truck didn't come with the tow package as far as I know.
