Well got alot done today. exras1 came over and we pulled the h41 and took apart the tcase and mated it to the h55f. the flywheel was in pretty bad shape but i still tried to have it turned but there were some burn marks that wouldn't come out so I am going to have to find another one.

just fyi now that you have tilted the tranny on it's nose you will have to pull the shift cover and realign the syncros or you will have a stuck tranny.

looks good enjoy!

I think you might have a ground thats causing it. might need to get a manual for a early 90s gm truck and we can run thru the wiring this week. and we didn't even look at the mount for the bracket.
 
here are the pics of the skid plate. its made out of 3/16 and I plan on putting braces under it once i am done so it will be plenty strong. it will hang down about a half inch lower than the stock one and I have to drill and tap the frame so i dont have holes yet or a front slanted piece but i will do that after its fitted on the truck.

yeah I might need rear too lol.
 
I put the front passenger side aal i got from acadia and it picked it back up a inch and half which is what i wanted. bad thing is i might have to take a couple of the lower leafs out so it wont be so stiff. I also put the 4plus ublot flip kit on thanks to lcwizard. I got everything done on the tranny and tcast today still just waiting for the flywheel from the dealer.

Jay Wolfe Toyota parts guys here in north kansas city has really been a great help to me, exrsa1 and britklr. The manager has been working at toyota for over 30years and the parts pro guy has been there for 25+ years so they know their parts and can still remember when they used to stock 40 series stuff.
