Well it has been a while since I have posted about my own truck, and I don't want to let my dedicated readers down. The work on the fenders at school is done, and I am waiting until I can pay for the supplies and bring the last fender home. I'm excited to see the taillights on the truck, but I still have a lot of body work left to do. Since the completion of the suspension, which just the tie rod ends need to be attached, I have done other work on the firewall and transmission work. I need to make an intermediate shaft for the steering, so we can steer when it is time to bring the truck back home.
Here's the firewall
I made another plate and welded it in to hold the bottom of the steering column on the firewall but that is not pictured.
I had a 400 turbo trans and tore it down for rebuild, as it had an electronic speedometer sensor in it I ended up buying another 400 turbo with the mechanical speedometer, as it was cheaper than buying it new. The new case was much cleaner than the first trans so I tore that one down and I'm currently putting it back together. I still don't understand how it works, but I sure hope it does work once I have it back together.
