Re: Daverods 52
I need to buy a shifter for my 700r4. How do I know if I need a cable operated one? Or would ether kind work? Whats the difference between the two cable/mech?
|
Re: Daverods 52
Cable shifter are more flexible as to where you mount them,only require the the hole for the screws that mount them to the floor and a 3/8 hole for the cable can be mounted to flat or curbed floor, with littel space under the floor.
Shifter with rods are limited by the routing of the rods and space between floor / or tunal and tranmission , and need to be on the same side of the transmission as the shfter lever on the trans.. |
Re: Daverods 52
Thanks Bud.;) Guess I'll get a cable one that way I'll be able to move it a round alittle. I want to keep the bench seat I was kinda worried that the stick might hit the seat. Think I'll get the 32" Lokar.:uhmk:
|
Re: Daverods 52
Just make sure you don't make the cable bend too much. They tend to break. At least they did on the B&M did on my Belair. :uhmk:

:mm: Two days to get this far. Started off with no plan that was part of the problem. After lots of welding and grinding and cutting. Ended up with this.:ito: First plan forgot about the pumkin moving up and down. After making room for the pumkin the second failed plan forgot to leave room for the shocks. After starting over, we're going with the 3rd plan. Still subject to change.

:mm: Had to mount my fan on the front of my radiator. Had to make a new catch for my glove box. Glad to finally shut that thing, still needs a new lock.
|
Re: Daverods 52
I like the rad set up. What was that out of again? I think I might have asked you before and or have read it, but there are alot of pages to sift through. Glad to see some progress.
|
Re: Daverods 52
The radiator was one I ordered on ebay. The mount was the orginal just reworked alittle.:uhmk: Is your bed rubber mounted?
|
Re: Daverods 52
I never mounted my bed rubber, it just layed in there over my plywood. I have since mounted old barn wood to the plywood and did away with the rubber. Both set ups I am able to take the inside of bed out pretty easily. I like that because I can inspect and work on things when needed. I have actually been under there for quite a few rear end repairs already.

Re: Daverods 52
I was messin with my driveline. I think it needs tyo be about 53". Anyone know of a chart or somthing that tells you how long the driveline is in different trucks/cars? I'll probably end up getting one made but it would be nice if I could pick up in the junk yard.:uhmk:
|
Re: Daverods 52
daverod,
I think what would be better, is if we has a thread that everyone can post their stats to, in efforts of gathering data for the length of driveshaft. But it isn't too hard to get under there and measure either. Problem is with all the frame swaps and transmissions and all those variables such as mounting your engine forward or back etc. changes the driveshaft length. Mine is a two piece out of an extended cab 4x4 s-10. If I were to get a one piece i'd do a 58-59". I have seen em on ebay brand new with quite a bit of hp rating for about 250 shipped. |

Re: Daverods 52
It's kinda hard to get a good picture. I just welded to square bars 1x1 from driver to passager side. One all the way up and the other about 5" below that. My biggest problem was moving the handle for the vent. It was really easy still need to run brake lines. That's next on my list.

Re: Daverods 52
Steering hose thing is pissin me. First time I got a 84 s10 hose. The hose going into the pump would'nt fit. Then I got a 81 350 hose. It has the wrong end on it, I guess I have a old steering pump or somthing. I need a hose with a invert on one end? Do they even make yhat? Maybe I better just get a newer pump? :crazy:
|
Re: Daverods 52
Hey there poky give me some pics idaho....;)
|
Re: Daverods 52
Decided to buy a newer steering pump. I guess the new pumps use the o ring style the older pumps use a flare. I just hope it mounts up ok.

Re: Daverods 52
I was puttting my pads on.....? Is there anything that holds the outside pad in place? It fits where it needs to be, it just seems loose? I've limited brake smarts. So be ready for more ??? I'll get some pics when my phone charges..Damn phone. I have some of the old brake line I was going to see if I could reuse it on the front. It looks really small and easy to bend.. It's gotta work right. It just seems a lot smaller than other stuff I've messed with.
