Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T
That turned out really nice. It's always something isn't it?

Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T
A new definition of tedious...
I finally finished the weld-out and grinding of the welds for the firewall and high hump. Next to sanding plastic filler, grinding welds and finding/filling pinholes has to be the most tedious job in automotive repair. Here's the firewall after the repairs: Here's the inside driver's side: Here's the inside passenger's side: Here's the hump: I will fill the weld seams with body filler and smooth them down after the cab is stripped and primed. The inside of the cab floorboards and firewall will be coated with Lizard Skin so that won't be a big deal. The engine side of the firewall will be visible. I'm delighted to have that out of the way and have moved on to the transfer case. Here it is mocked-up in position: Next I will have to make the cross member and brackets to support it. I am concerned that the front drive shaft may interfere with the flywheel housing at full articulation. If it does, I will have to have a carrier bearing and support or a suspension lift in addition to the body lift. I'm hoping that neither will be required... |

Fuller has a great website with manuals, illustrated parts lists, etc. http://www.roadranger.com/rr/Custome...eratureCenter/ I recommend that you download the service manual for the RT/RTO-6610 (TRSM0515) and the illustrated parts list. They sure have helped me a lot. Parts for our transmissions are readily available except for the overdrive conversion kit which I had a little trouble finding. |
