[Christ]

At some point, I'm going to have my wife paint the entire floor with roof cement, then I'm going to cover the floor with the OE plastic/rubber floor mat again.

I scored a ZF 5 Speed (5.72 first gear, something like .8 5th) to put into my truck, in a 1992 5.0/5 Speed I purchased for parts. The parts truck has quite a few decent parts on it, and the ZF has a very clean, crisp shift to it. I feel that between the few parts I can use and the ZF, plus whatever I can sell, I made a VERY good investment here. I also got a title with the parts truck, which means I can later rebuild it as a work truck, if I am so inclined.
