Went to napa and picked up the fly wheel this morning. Then I pulled the engine out to work on it today tomorrow I will be putting it back in tomorrow with the trany and transfer case attach for the first time. Then I just need to find a radiator to put into her.

Alright so it's been a bit sense I have wrote in this. So the tranny I got from pick n pull was the wrong one or somebody rebuilt it with the wrong input shaft it's a 16th to big
but anyways I traded another one I had laying around for the right one with the transfer case and the guy had another ax-15 with 231 transfer case taken apart and didn't finish putting it back together so I scored 2 for one. I guess I get to learn how to rebuild the ones that are taken apart
I'm going to try to get every thing back in before this weekend or at the end of the weekend we shall see

i bet that blue camo would look cool with some gunmetal color wheels. the ones you got on there are already that color, kind of. if you're going to paint the seats and stuff they make this stuff called SEM that's for painting fabric and vinyl and stuff like that. i was going to paint the interior of my old suburban black, but i sold it instead. i saw a guy who did that and it looked really good, at least in the picture.
