This is getting comical....now I have developed a massive tranny leak lol ...it's either the front seal or front pump seal ....good times....again it sat for years parked so I guess seals just rot to hexx here in the Fl. heat.

Well I got under there today and the front seal looks to be possibly new, I couldn't find any leak from the outer perimeter of the front pump. It's got an aftermarket dipstick tube but it looks pretty hefty . The pan had fluid pretty much all over the bottom of it. Then I looked at the vacuum modulator. There was quite a bit of fluid right there. So I removed it's bracket,pulled it out and noticed the O ring was at its skinny end of the shaft ? . So I moved the O ring to the fat part of the shaft and put it back together in in the trans case . Hopefully that was it ??? Who knows.... the only way to tell is going to be to drive it and see if it leaks again. I sprayed everything down with brake cleaner to clean slate it.. to look for fresh leaks after the next drive.

Headliner and visors next. Headliner was totally roached. I got these vinyl visors from a friend ,filled a few cracks then painted them to match. I also installed a mirror on the passenger side one that came off my unsalvageable originals. Hence the weight holding it on after gluing it. Headliner fabric was $26 off Amazox. Anybody want to sell me a dome light lense to replace my cracked one ? Will update with the after- totally installed pics.

Those dome light lenses are like unobtainable....I need a couple for Rawhide the crew cab. One broke the tabs off, and the other one is just barely holding on. First thing that's gone on a truck in the yard too.
