I know more tall guys that blew out their backs than short fat balding guys. I'd recommend you try that shape as you age. For now you just let us do the heavy lifting. Honestly it just gets worse as you get older so get those bones aligned and keep em' there. Pain management sucks. As for the...

Shaft Sizes G749 Is the part you speak of in the P above the harmonica?.....or the shaft that the P would slide over coming out of the back of the transmission? I thought I could find sizes in the book but let's nail down that part definition first so I know what I'm looking for.

Did you just type that the 5 speed spicer has a plate on the back of the transmission that bolts directly to the U-joint / (propeller) on the TC to trans plate/shaft on the G749? Since you're kinda writing the TM on a swap, are you able to put up years, part numbers and other successful info...

Jersey took some decent pics on how he solved the mount problem and I'm thinking there are as many ways to do this as there are people. I'd end up doing it with landscape ties, binder twine and PL400 so I'll keep my opinions on the down-low...

Box and Tires I haven't tried to sell the box so if it can be put to use it's one less thing to run into. I'll take some measurements. Depending on what you're doing, a little weight might be good on the back axle....but If you keep it light, a pick-up can pull you out. Oh decisions! The...
