Pretty stuff! Have you had a chance yet to drain/change the oil and check the gearbox? I think your year had the magnetic drainplug, which let you check for filings so you knew what condition your gears were in, and keep bits from recirculating thru the box and doing more damage.

Paul M will know more about that.

Frank - I changed the oil but haven't checked gear oil yet gear box feels good thus far. 1st and reverse work good. :)

Jim - definitely will be interested in the ramps when I go to do the exhaust. Thanks

Yea that header looks good, better than what I had, of course mine was cheap. :D Frank not sure on that, thought most had the magnet. Ramps???? That would still not be enough room for me. I jack up the from first via the cross member, and put jacks on the sub frame, not the floor board rails, which most call frame rails, which they are not. Then jack up the back via the Diffy and same thing, jacks on the metal, not the body seam.
