Re: Francis the Tow Pig - 1949 GMC 250 Dually

It's fair week in my county and I worked the "Hot Dog Feed" for the swine show yesterday. When that was said and done, I was told to go home for the rest of the afternoon...you don't have to tell me twice!

When I tacked my engine mounts in, they weren't quite right, everything was just twisted enough it bothered me. So that was the first order of the day, getting that fixed. Once I had it dialed in where I wanted it, I set my sights on building the transmission cross member. Used 2x1 11ga tubing and gusseted the joints. This should be more than enough to carry the weight of the 4L80E. Once that was finished up, I cut the 3-bolt flanges off the exhaust manifolds in preparation of welding on some pipe extensions and v-band clamps. Finished out the day with a good ol' cleaning of the shop, and a beer of course.

Parts are starting to stack up again, with more coming in today.
