Worked on the truck a little more tonight.
The calipers I bought months ago were starting to show some surface rust and since I'm in the chassis build phase it seemed fitting to get them painted up and ready for installation.
Here's a side by side sorta before and after shot:
The paint is a silver engine enamel that looks just like the cast metal of the calipers. Wasn't intentional but I like it.
I then put in the transfer case torque mount (minus two bolts...)
Then I got to thinking about the hardware I will need in the future since new shiny hardware is sooo much nicer than old, rusty, greasy crap...Does anyone know where you can get new Th350 Transmission mount bolts? These are the bolts that go through the crossmember and into the adapter that is sandwiched between the trans and tcase.
They are 1/2" x 13 and about 5-5.5" long. The guy at the hardware store said the looked like starter bolts...Anyways - any thoughts on where to get some new ones? (Yes the one pictured is tweaked/bent)
In other news my engine builder called to inform me my 383 is out of the machine shop and being moved to the assembly room...
