    Marv, like your shifter. Who's model is it, and do you like it? I'll be running an AOD also, and am looking for recommendations.

    Thanks, Ralph

    Hi Marv, what wheel specs are those and did you go for a 2005-14 rear axle?
    Thanks John

    I believe I have the same parts. What is wrong with them? Do you have a date to get replacements?

    Ken I E mailed Tony with the picture and he sent me the correct ones that day. Wish I could get the steering joints that easy.

    I also found I had to trim the area shown on page 328-9 in the manual to the forward edge of the stepped area. You will be able to tell if you need to trim more by looking at how the hinge is laying against the body bracket it should be flat. Also on page 320 watch how much you trim as one of my lower hinge areas was not flat (90 degree) to the outer door skin and the female part of the hinge got to deep and I had to shim and fill the area some. Hope this makes since. Don’t forget the threaded holes take a 3/8 inch bolt.

    Finished mounting running boards and fenders. Next hood hinges and modify trans tunnel for a little more foot room.

    By the way the ride height for a truck with fenders is 5 1/2 frt and 6 in the rear

    What? I am hoping you are mistaken. Some have them. I am not getting that comfortable feeling. Does that apply to all the other parts we have not gotten?

    Update, E mailed Tony and they are included of course. Seems like I should only communicate with Tony.
