    Was considering this until I realized the length difference. Don't quite want to re do drivelines, mounts, exhaust..blah blah. Maybe a few more failed attempts with this auto and i'll come back to that idea. I sent an email to Silver Fox, judging by the automated email response it seams like a...

    No, this is a late 80's all mechanical AOD. So it has the TV cable and governor on the output shaft. Supposedly they are sourcing another valve body and are going to swap it while still in the truck. we'll see.

    Thinking its something in the valve body. Ever since I took it in to swap the output shaft and get freshened up it hasn't been right. I either have 1-2 only, 1-3-4 or it wont shift out of 1st at all.. They want to try messing with it again. I'm pretty over pulling it, but I'm getting pretty fat...

    Another thing I was concerned about is cab movement. I have only ever had interior cages tied in everywhere. Do people commonly replace the bushings with solid mounts before adding tubes? I'd hate to ruin the cab by beating it into the cage when its on bumpy roads.

    I was thinking about this as well, but not sure how I could sneak past them without getting too funky.

    Good to know thanks. I'm probably taking it to a fiberglass guy to fill the existing mounting holes and fix a few things, I'll inquire about bracing it somehow.

    Looking for some input. I want to add some tubes to this thing but am really hesitant to take away from the look to much. I want it to be functional enough to lean against trees and survive a roll, but not look full jungle gym rock crawler... if that makes sense. Thinking that diving the tube...
