Thanks for the info! I'll keep that in mind. I plan to do the brakes this weekend, and should have time to take a peek at the trans. I'll take some photos of the linkage, but in the meantime, here's some photos of when I picked the truck up back in March.

I plan to start a thread under the "Builds and Journals" section to document my progress, just haven't gotten around to it, yet.
I'll update this thread when I get a good feel for the transmission.
