Re: FAST Fabrication 94 b4000 turn into SNORE class 7 race truck
All dzus up, will be adding two more to the center console bars when they are fabricated
Reglassed the precut holes
We got the flexplate last Friday but they sent the wrong one, hoping the new one will be here tonight or tomorrow… got the shifter parts mounted to trans, it is just waiting for the flexplate so it can go in.
The website is almost done... he has to redo the service and builds page and a little on team page........... if anyone needs anything let me know. i hope to see some of you guys at the offroad expo

Re: FAST Fabrication 94 b4000 turn into SNORE class 7 race truck
We got up this morning thinking it be a great day.. first words to my dad was you ready to get back to some real fabricating… Never did I expect what would happen next.
First ran into a small set back, at least we were smart to check and make sure the two starter bolt holes (the ones with threads in them) were not damage by checking to see if the bolt threaded. Well they both had been heli coiled, and one of the holes was not drilled all the way through and did not have locktite. We could not get the bolt to thread in, so we used a tap and the tap pulled out the heli coil. We thought it was just gunk up at first or they used a std. heli coil in a metric bolt hole. When we got it out learned it was the right heli, but due to the improper installation bolt did not thread in. Went to Autozone bought the 30.00 kit and we were on our way after an hr set back.
The main reason why it was good we check the holes early is because we planned on installing the trans with the truck still at scrub, because the motor was being held up in the back by a jack, so if we wanted to lift the truck we would have had to strap motor and put wheels back on. So imagine figuring out the bolt would not thread in while your squeeze underneath the truck with a heavy trans balance on a jack. Before we actually decided to tap it we had been threading the bolt in and out with oil trying to clean it out. So props to my dad for thinking ahead. Next we got the torque converter on the (making it much heavier) and lifted it to the back of the truck so we could slide it in from the back.
About 30 min later and 5 arms we ran into a huge set back. The trans was not pushing on easy with the torque converter in, we had got the two main bolts with the pins in and still needed to push the trans on about an 1/8 and as we went to get the last push so we could put the rest of the bolts in, we heard a pop. The bellhousing had cracked, after getting it apart we learned it was already cracked and we had just snap it off. In the pick the dark spot is were the aluminum had been cracked and dirt and air was getting through. After closer look we notice that were they had done a repair down by the start bolt hole, there was still a crack there.
We decide to not make the whole day a waste and knock out the last piece we could do in the cab (until trans was in)… we will be offering these as a two piece kit with pop rivets included. You can bolt or screw in or even weld in if you like though. Very low price for a nice little add on to your truck.
Sad to say won’t be testing at end of July… Mostly due to funds, I was not expecting to have to buy the flexplate at first and now I have to buy a billet bellhousing. Those two things amounted to the cost of my driveshaft I needed to order. So going to set me back a month due to funds and two weeks due to time frame to replace bellhousing/flexplate. Hopefully I will be testing first week or two of September, but no promises, now I know can’t expect things to go smoothly, especially when ordering parts and shipping problems. I will keep you updated and work on other things as well.
