Re: 1957 Chevy 4x4 NAPCO conversion...
Here is some more 'Smoke Wrench' art where the bracket for the t-case shifter (pictured earlier) was mounted. My sense is that they ordered this kit and did a home made install as you guessed. Reason for that is that the first attempt didn't line up, so they held the cast piece up against the frame and burned the holes thru it as a guide. I had to take the piece (before blast and powder coat) to a machine shop to have it 'filled and drilled' as they put it. We flipped the frame and did the same repair as the transfer case cross member and then filled in weld from above when we turned it back upright.
