Just saw this. I love flat fender jeeps

I have 3 front Ford D60 housings, lmk if want one if you decide to go away from D44.

Why not 700R4 or 4L60?

4L60E is the final plan but TH350 for now.  Trans length gets critical with such a short drivetrain.

Why not just run 4l60, or even 4l80 and have the rear stretched accordingly?

Trying to keep the stretch as small as possible and un-noticeable.  In the end, it may not matter.   :-\

I discovered that Pacemaker gets their tube from Service Steel. They only deal in Tubing.
Its The new building across from ryan and Liz.
When I stopped in there few weeks ago the manager told me they are just distribution center but I could order from main office in Buffalo. 
I will pursue this option for future tube purchases.
Mainly because pacemaker doesn't seem to stock Dom anymore.

It may ultimately cone from Michigan.  But on tjis recent order our tube came from Service Steel.
Pace maker is good about getting quotes back much faster than 12 hours.
However 1 week for dom delivery is unacceptable imo.
