Nice box. Have you seen the deal where they take a box, cheaper one than that, and turn it into bathroom sink? It looked cool as hell. Great for a bachelor (which you are not), but still neat for a shop or similar place.

Well, we finally got a little snow on the back mountains this week. All the lower ones are still clear (very late, but good). I received my new license plates for the red F150 this past Saturday. F150FS came in less than 2 weeks. Not bad if you ask me.

Over 4.25 at Wallyworld also, even online. At 20 quarts (18 actually plus burp off), that adds up for a dry E40D/4R100. I wonder what it's going to cost to do a filterfluid change on the new 10 speeds?

I dig that sink. I have a Westward box my brother gave me that might work out for that, LOL. My other 3 boxes are Craftsman. My Dad has a Kennedy he said I can have too, but I'm low on room. My Buddy just bought another yellow MAC box that is pretty sweet... it's about half the size of his other box - The Macsimizer.

BTW, at some point I'd like to ask you about shipping transmissions up there. He's wanting to start shipping them now instead of just being local.

EDIT: The Macsimizer:

That Kennedy I'll bet is one solid old box. My Grandfather had one back, hell, way back.

Just PM me what you want to ask and I'll try my best to answer. Find out how much a 4L60E and 4R100 goes out his door for. Cores would be a big problem getting returned. Freight would eat them up.

Yes, that Kennedy is one hell of a box. My Dad has had it since 86, and it was used at that point too. So it's old school. His employer gave it to him when they bought newer/bigger boxes. I remember thinking it was strange because their name looked like it was written on there with an ink pen, lol.

#1 as to what you get for the money.

I like that little green Edelbrock tackle box.

I'm running into one problem on where to find this one part locally. So my question is who lives near a wrecking yard that is a pick or pull a part type? I'm hoping that someone could find me the 5.4 intake plenum small plastic cover. It says 5.4 on it and sets center of the top of the intake. Everyone around here is gone or destroyed (one ripped up, one fire damaged, another broken, etc). I'd like to find one to finish cleaning up under the hood. EBay has been no help. I found one and it sold before I could buy it. Can anyone help supply one of these, without breaking the bank? lol. Thanks in advance. AK
