Re: 1971 K10 Stepside - Getting a Roller Roadworthy
Put the transmission on the jack sideways for clearance, rolled it under the truck, and then flipped it upright.

Removed one fender and the radiator support to make room for installing the engine without having to remove the hood. Set the engine in place and attached it loosely to the crossmember.

Crawled back underneath and mated the transmission to the bellhousing.

Re: 1971 K10 Stepside - Getting a Roller Roadworthy
Installed the transmission crossmember and transfer case frame bracket loosely. Then I attached the transfer case to the transmission and frame bracket.
The next step will be to drill holes for the engine crossmember and then fabricate an adapter to allow the transmission to be attached to its crossmember. |
