Well since I am stranded out of state with a busted tranny, I don't have access to my photo's right now.  However there is a picture of part of my problem, which I will show in a minute.  For now a description of the truck, and next week will be pictures if I can remember this site once I get home.

82 Kingcab 4x4.  4inch body lift, 2 inch suspension lift, 33x12.5 muddies wrapped around chrome modulars.  Custom body work on the passenger side rear, when I drove over the top of the neighbors lowrider after he decided to park behind me 3 inches from my truck blocking me in.  Custom decals in back window.

Z22 engine with a shaved head, weber carb, and Pertronix flamethrower coils.

Interior boasts a 10 inch grant 3 spoke black steering wheel(old one was worn all the way through literally), a Clarion detach face MP3 head unit, Blaupunkt 200 watt 2-way 6 inch speakers in kick panels(factory location), 2 12inch Sony Explode 1200 watt subs in a sealed box behind the seat being pushed by a 1000 watt Kenwood sub amp.  racing pedal pads, and thanks to the brother in law I'm switching froma french tickler looking knob to a skull knob which looks way better.

We consider this truck to be like our daughter.  Like our sons big sister.  NEVER have I had a vbehicle this reliable, neither has my wife her entire life, and her parents are well to do, but her parents go by the consumer reports and get junk heaps.  My wife initially put the money up for the truck and I've put the money in to keep her maintained and upgraded.  My wife has made it clear in no uncertain terms this truck will NEVER go bye bye.  Down the road the only thing that may be left is her cab and interior sitting on a fullsize frame, if thats what it takes to keep her, but her spirit will still live on.  We want this truck to passdown generation to generation.  We are so devoted to this truck it's beyond humorous and borderline insane.  We buy her gifts, she has a birthday, etc.  The truck even gets christmas presents.  Hell we used to kiss the truck goodnight.  Her name is Missy.

Took forever but I made my way back to the site.  Right now I'm trying to replace the timing chain, but I need a 3 jaw puller which I can't afford,a nd I need to drain the oil with no pan, and I need to do it in cold and wet conditions.  UGH.  Anyone got these tools and wanna give me a hand?  LOL.
