Cool, nice photos! In one shot it looks like the angle on the driveshaft is pretty steep? I only ask because I could see this happening to me on my dump truck conversion.

Yeah the drive shaft is kind of steep but in that one picture I think it's the angle I took the picture at. The drive shaft actually slopes downward from the transmission to the differential but since they output shaft on the transmission is not perfectly lined up with the input on the differential it also goes off to the side at a weird angle. Not the best but I had to make it that way in order to get the transmission to line up with the differential (mainly because I laid the transmission on its side). Have not powered it up yet but I think it should work

It's at work right now but if I can find my cell phone I'll try and get some pictures of how the drive shaft is set up if you would like me to.

Oh man it's been a while since I last worked on this. Been just super busy with life stuff but am happy to say I have gotten the itch to dust this old project off and finally finish it so hopefully I'll be able to get some free time when work slows down (whenever that may be) and get to finishing it
