Still waiting on body metal and a snow storm is on the way. I have been working on small stuff that needs done but not very interesting.
The bearings and ball joints came in for the shifter. Just like the reality shows we've got to have some drama. When I tried to put the shift box together I found out that someone had welded the one end on upside down. No one would admit it but I think I narrowed it down to who did it.
Notice the bearing support is towards the top.
Just a couple snips on the welds and a reweld and everything is fine.
Trying to get the shifter box to work in all the gears is tricky. I had trouble going into reverse. A little grinding here and there on the socket in the box fixed things.
Now I have to mount it to the frame and hook up to the trans. That's tricky because it has to be aligned in a couple different directions. Once it's fastened down it should be good to go.
