Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I spent a few hours shoving, measuring & finding the right compromise for engine & trans placement. Then I cleared all the obstructions (should have done this 1st) and test fit.
Tomorrow, if I get time, I'll be welding... |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Hopefully the rain will subside enough to celebrate my new baby boy by bringing him home in the 59 fleetside.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Removed the clunking rear Dana 45 that I couldn't get parts for and installed the fresh rebuilt 10 bolt from a 2 wheel drive 68 chevy truck. Added dropped blocks, new ubolts, brake lines, shocks etc. Just need to bleed the brakes and burn in the saddles after setting the pinion in the morning. Moved to the front enda after lunch. Pulled the stock axle and installed a 4.5 inch dropped Sids axle with new steering parts incl. New style tie rods. Have the tapered bearings kit and all new brake parts to install tomorrow morning. Should be driving it to lunch! Next weeked is the motor swap and 700r4 conversion whoo hoooo!
