Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Got the engine block to cab grounds mounted this morning. I have to remove the heater assembly to get to a hole. I must be getting better as I only smashed one finger.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Making a mess! Pulled motor in hopes to attach and install transmission. Cleaning cab and firewall. Some touch up. Truck was originally Omaha orange but green primer? Keeps popping up on the lower cab.

One step closer! McLeod hydraulic bearing installed because the 2466HKR Hooker Competition Headers don't work with stock arm and bellhouse. Had to clearance driver side bellhouse to clear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

today I found the left front hubcap for my daily!
they are doing construction on a road I drive on to work, and it was extra rough yesterday. when I got to work I noticed the left front hubcap was missing
I drove home, scanning the route, but did not see it... but then today I drove even slower, and out of the corner of my eye noticed it next to a fence , laying upside down and full of rain water!!
so happy I don't have to bang out and paint up another one!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Back together! Short of one bolt on motor mount all went smoothly. The fab of the trans crossmember will be tomorrow. Still sitting on stands.

Nice work. So what setup do you have for the hydraulic clutch MC and pedal? Please include pics if you can.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

I used a Captainfab firewall bracket, CPP all in one master, Wilwood hydraulic clutch cylinder, McLeod hydraulic bearing. The chrome booster came from Tuckers Trucks either s10 or Nova base 7".
The 2466 HKR Hooker Compatition headers didn't work with arm and had to knock down driver side bellhouse to clear flange. This is why th hydraulic bearing over arm.
Stock pedal. Big feet can hit all 3 if you try!

OK, you showed brake stuff too. Didn't need that but it's useful to other readers.

So the clutch MC is Wilwood. Model#? Mounting info? Heim joint and pushrod from the pedal connection?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

All the parts came with Captainfab kit. The firewall kit has a spot to drill for Wilwood and all hardware and rods came with kit.
