You did a great job, Bjorn. It is so simple compared to the original box. I don't know why they had to make it so complicated. Is a starter interlock really that important? How many troops can't tell that the truck is running and try to start it again? I can see it in an ultra-quiet sedan, but not is a big rumbling 5-ton.

I saved the old box that was in the truck when I got it. I popped the cover off and it was full of corrosion. I will send that one to you for a rebuild!

Chris, I'm getting dangerously close to take the 757 for some good road testing, but want all the little things working right, like the torque rods, for example. Got an insurance quote from Gulfway for $250 and registration will be as an antique vehicle so that's only $50.
So, a side by side comparison shouldn't be that far off in the future.

Send me a PM when you get ready to send the old box and I'll get going on the cover.

Pleasure working with you!
