Nice work..
I spy with my eye....a rack and pinion steering on the front of that old car... What'd that come out of?
1957 Nomad- LS1/T56 on C4 chassis
1959 Fleetside Apache 1/2 ton, shortbed, big window, 327ci.
It's for certain NOT a '39 Ford part...
So that partly explains the rapid great work, Brian!! You're making up for lost time...
Yep, Hard to believe it has almost been over 2 years since I started working on this again, 1st post on the project on here was March of 2020 but I think I had started to work on it in October of 2019. If wasn't for all those other projects around the house I'd be farther along (last week I had our front load washing machine apart to replace the drum bearings for a 2nd time. those things sure don't last long).
My dad always said the older we get the faster the time flies by.
Your Dad was right!
I could change the Clutch & Pressure plate in my Camaro on ramps in HS with basic tools faster than I now with a lift and cordless and air tool and all the other fancy tools I have at my disposal. I believe that a Muncie 4 speed has gained about 50 pounds too.
