'73 Concord 20' Class A w/Dodge 440 - see profile for photo
Hope that helps some, I am looking forward to see what all you come up with. Its kind of a pain while your in the middle of it but sure is nice when you get finished.
I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!

If you go to 2x4's will you be able to reuse your roof metal? Seems like it would increase the width needed to cover wall to wall? I agree it would be stronger and you could taper roof better to avoid low spots. Your roof vent's might have a gap between the top and bottom covering due to increased thickness of the 2x4's verses 2x3's. (I know the new vent I bought had a gap, seems my roof is thicker than what they use now)
Those are my only thoughts. I know when I repaired my overhead I went with bigger timber where I could to help stengthen it, but that didn't effect anything else.

"This seal can be replaced without removing the valve body from the transmission by using a small screwdriver to pry seal out of its bore. Be careful not to scratch manual lever shaft or the seal bore in transmission".

The seals around the shafts that are operated by the shift and kickdown levers are leaking.
The job isn't real hard, but you do have to pull the valve body to do it. That leak is common on every old Torqueflight, but unless it gets serious, you can mostly ignore it.

My '76 w/727 trany has the sensor-type dipstick as well. I can't find an idiot light for it anywhere, but upon close inspection I could make out a 'full' line just above the oval slot at the tip of the dipstick where the sensor is located. Mine also leaks if I park driver's side low.
Hope this helps,

When I get home from work I will try to post them for you. It takes me an hour and a half to get home so it won't happen real quickly. But if that is what you would like to see let me know.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

That would help alot Doug, If it would be easier for you, you can email them to me at my studio email, which is, [email protected] or post them here, ever which one is easier for you and thanks a lot.
Let me know if you find it interesting. I really like the Birth Of A Legend brochure. If it isnt clear enough for detail I'll mail you a copy.
