Finally put my transmission and transfer case back together and installed new seals, gaskets, t-case savers and twin sticks. One step closer to getting this thing installed.

purdy! Like the gold and black
Gorgeous!! You need to have that mounted on a ring!!
Your welcome and glad you are pleased with them.
I installed a anti-wrap bar this week. Made it from spare parts laying around from the rear end swap from a 97 fzj80 under the '78 40. I think it will be much improvement. Hopefully no more broken pinion shafts.
I debated on whether to cut the forward bushing housing off on the top arm or just notch the radius to fit down over the lower arm. If I cut it, it would be cleaner but I would have lost approximately 2 inches on length......So you can see what I went with. Need to take a picture installed. After looking at the picture I wished I would have cut the bushing off.....Too late now.
Putting on the skid plate today.
Here's a picture installed]
And this is why I didn't get the skid plate on today. .....much more work to do! Rusting away!
Finished installing OME shocks and steering stabilizer.
Installed my "Johnny Cash" radio in my SOR console. Wish I would have gotten a tuffy console instead.
Installed my Autometer Tach.
And finally.....my new girl friend. I think she is perfect!!

Built a rear swing out this weekend: cooler rack, jerry can/water can holder under the cooler and a shovel axe rack.
Sat in a chair in the garage, staring at it. Finished my beer. Went back inside.
Repeated about 2 hours later.

ha ha ha.......it seems I left my parking brake on, on the 82 fj40, pulled into a clients house(who owns a Cruiser) and the left rear was smoking. My 1st thought was I blew a brake line or wheel cylinder.....but then I realized I had the 82 and the parking brake was on the rear axle not the driveline but now I must adjust both, because if only the left was smoking....then the right was not adjusted correctly 
besides that.......drove the 82 most of last week and loved life

Saturday my wife and I brought home the 40's "new" engine! It's a Gen 1 SBC 350. According to the date code, I believe it was built in 1976. It came with the first generation of Holly ProJection, a healthy cam, Elderbrock Performer intake manifold, etc... I've started the cleaning process and will be putting new gaskets on it and painting it red.
Now I really need to find a GM truck bell housing to bolt it up to my SM465!
