Yeah, way to go eh :)

Yeah, what he said. Also maybe take some scotchbrite to clean those main webs, along with your rags, brake cleaner, bright light and magnifying glass.

People still go to meccico? Is it even safe for gringos?

Finished the bellhousing, made up a mount point for the Z bar pivot ball with a piece of steel tubing and a 1/2 -13 nut. Also moved and rewelded the nut for the clutch fork pivot ball.

HA! Yeah I hear ya, I just stay home now- and spend the money on truck parts.

Cut out some of the 3/16 plates for the frame boxing today, here is one section test fitted. Also ripped out all the fuel lines and brake lines out of the rt frame rail. Im repositioning the brake proportioning valve from the spot from hell up to next to the master cylinder and replacing...

Alright my friend has a 1940 Kearney and Trecker #4 mill that weighs 12K lbs, and he milled out the bellhousing center hole to 5.125 to fit the SM465 transmission. I will check the bell alignment and if needed I will use offset dowel pins on the engine.

I was researching parts for my truck but then I got distracted...

I will have to either reposition that rt rear upper shock mount or I might cut out that rear crossmember and move the tank rearward since I am extending the frame back about 8 inches and adding a new rear crossmember.

The cab and chassis tank will fit in the back.

I have a lighter spring with this stuff that goes from the pedal to the mount, this big one is so stiff it would fold that whole mount over if I tried to put it there.

Im going to convert that np205 rear output to a fixed yoke.

As for that spring- i guess i need to slide under one of my parts trucks in the side yard and take a look tomorrow :) One in my collection is a 82 C2500 , 454 and Sm465 2wd.

Worked on the SM465-np205 swap today. Pulled the floor mat out and man it was nasty under it, cleaned it up and started working. Pulled the dash pad, inst cluster, steering column, pedals and mount. The 4 speed pedal mount had spot welds broken so I tig welded it back together. 2 other...

Didnt make a whole lot of visual progress today, but i got a new toy- A thumbwheel remote control for my miller synchrowave 250. Now I can tig laying under a vehicle or kneeling inside one or wherever and not have to fight with trying to use the foot pedal.
