Re: 76 Stepside Resto
Had a couple hours to do some work tonight. Was hoping a buddy would show up to give me a hand setting the motor/tranny in place but he couldn't make it. Had to pull a solo mission to get it done. Not impossible, just having a second set of hands would have made it a bit easier.
Either way, got the motor and tranny bolted together and set in place. The new truss mounts were a bit tricky. Just like the instructions say, keep all truss hardware loose. After the motor mounts were in, tightened everything down. Set in the transmission mount plate and just set the Energy Suspension mount in place and removed the jack. The bolts I had for the mount are not correct, nothing a trip to the hardware store can't fix.
Hopefully tomorrow get the rear end pinion angle set and start welding up the rear 4 Link brackets.
