It was then I decided to start tearing down the truck for a restoration. Out comes the motor and tranny. Motor was replaced with a rebuilt unit. Transmission was next for restoration.

Open the top and pour out the fluid before beginning.

WHAT is this? Sawdust/wood cuttings all mixed with the oil.

No wonder it shifted so easily and drove so well.
