If my truck sales in the morning I will have a few more grand to toss in the 53. I hate to see the 40k mile f150 4x4 Lariat go but with the cost of living something has too. With that I can freshen-up the 455 and tranny and purchase my paint. I usually have my transmissions rebuilt by a professional but I think I'll give this one a shot and save the cash for something else.
