New and correct shocks arrived and they fit pretty well. They have an extra 2 inches of travel so are slightly compressed when on truck.
Then turned my attention to getting the drivetrain cleaned and painted. I first rebuilt the transfer case with all new seals gaskets. Then cleaned the trans and prepped it for POR engine enamel.
after that started painting the trans and transfer case.
If your thinking that red looks muted you would be correct. The red is chevy red and it is indeed not a deep red. I'm pretty disappointed. it looked good going on and when done and in natural light, not happy with the color. Should have gone with Chevy orange. Oh well. At least it's protected well.
I then turned my attention to mocking up the hydraulic clutch. I am waiting for the slave and master cylinder, but wanted to get started lining stuff up.
I also made a stop for the clutch pedal so it will sit even with the brake pedal. I will write a detailed explanation of the hydraulic clutch setup.
More to come.
