You need my spare OD833. Why are you going to the 5.5 lug pattern? Id stay with the 4.5s because of wheel selection..

well went to go pick my tranny up today, talked to him a few day's before, he said that he needed a tool to pull something out an should be done the next day. All he had to do was check the clutches an install my new valve body, well few day's went by an today we go down to see if it's done it's still in the back of his truck, nothing has been touched well I found a buddy an is doing it for me now, took it out to him tonight an watched him pull the pan. there was some fine metal shaving's but im installing new set on steele's an clutches an should be good.. I also got the cab sanded today, oil pump installed. still a bit to do before august 15nth..

thanks ya it was the dynomax muffler's or the fullboar race muffler's, every 1 told me go with flowmaster's, I hate them, they to me sound like penny's in a coffee can lol. every car/truck that has a flowmaster sound's the same to me if it's a ford, chevy, dodge. I will probably dump the muffler's at the axle or run them out the side before the rear wheel's at like a 45 deg angle. man I cant wait to get this girl on the road it's been 100% a budget build lol. might not get paint this year but who car's I like primer better

I was going to turn them 45* out also, but because I'm trying to keep my truck looking stock, I didn't want tail pipes showing. They are tucked up and out of sight.
Speaking of budget build, I bought my trans a year ago. Just recently bought the clutch and stuff for the swap. I'm using old dynomax's that came off a motor home in exchange for glass packs, don't ask me why. The chrome tips were so rusted, I scraped the rust off with a razor blade, then steel wool and polish.
The trans swap was ~$600 spread over almost a year
Exhaust was ~$120, the majority of it being the xpipe. Mufflers were free/traded
Patience pays off. Just keep that test drive in mind, but don't rush.
Last question. Are you leaving the 4 speed pedals in? That'd be trick to drive along one day with a passenger, and press the clutch pedal in "OH NO, my clutch won't disengage!!!" Haha

I will probably remove the clutch pedal but will keep every thing because as soon as I find a another a833 I plan on swapping it in.. but I got a question for ya, ok to install a auto brake pedal ( pedal is wider) do you have to remove the steering column ect?? I have not looked into it much but just thought I would ask lol.. aint the pedal in the same location as a auto but the pedal is wider right? or do I got to change the whole set up? ya I paid $30 for the pair of muffler's off ebay, paid $200 for the 318 I picked up last summer for my other truck, the tranny came out of a 74 power wagon w200 that I traded a suburban for, but also got a set of 3/4 ton axle's for my other build so that was a plus, paid $300-$500 for the dodge it's self.. kind of fun building it on a budget lol BUT I would love to have a unlimited amount of cash for it but hey this way make's if more fun..

It's a large pin held in with a small bolt. Slide it out and the pedals will fall out. Then slip your auto pedal in. Looks good so far.
