Stu's new ride

[crash2]

If I can't make these work chad I might hit ya up :redneck:

So I got the bench seat pulled and shifters yanked..

 

[crash2]

So while I am under the rig I am going to throw a new clutch in.

So I was unfamiliar with what tranny the rig had so upon some research I found it to be a forward shift W56-D.

So since the used adapter was setup for a top shift I plan on gutting the forward shift case thats in the rig and grab one of the many top shift cases and throw that behind it.

like the stance MIke, like you said... nice and low :awesomework:

 

[crash2]

Putting along..

I got the doubler built and installed on the tranny. So after I bolted it up I noticed a roller from a bearing--long thin one--like from the bearing that the input/output bearing mate with.

So I quickly yanked it off and took a peek and yup somehow it got knocked out of the cage and fell out. I had to do a quick tear down and correct it and luckily the sealer was still very soft,lol.

Went thru the t-cases and grabbed the best one/cleaned it up and threw it on.

So that whole mess is done and ready to go back in when I am ready for it.

 

[crash2]

So I decided to toss the newly resurfaced flywheel on and planned on throwing the new clutch in...

So the rig came with a new centerforce I clutch and I had checked the part number on the box and I "had" thought the truck was a 92'--which the part # matched up.

Well the pressure plate was larger so I did some more checking and come to find out the truck was a 91'--DOH... In 92' they either increased the flywheel size a tad or the pressure plate simply is not the right one..

 

[crash2]

I drug the plasma out and in the am I am going to start cleaning the frame..

In 92 they switched to using turbo/V6 components in 4 cylinder applications. The clutch size increased to somewhere around 9 5/16" from 8 7/8". The master cylinder also jumped up to 1" and the calipers were all 4 large piston vs 2 large/2 small.

That makes perfect sense...

 

[crash2]

I have been poking along on this...

I removed what I wanted from both frame rails...

Installed the new clutch and tranny/t-case assembly and fitted the x-member and started building new mounts.

 

[crash2]

So Stu stopped by with more goodies..

The hardest part fore me doing these is getting that first tube length figured out...

 

[crash2]

So I got the hole cut in the floor and shifters back into place..

 

[crash2]

I got the budbuilt x-member and shield thrown on.

Working e-brake again.

 

[crash2]

Got the sliders done.

 

[crash2]

So I threw the front tires on just so I could get them out of my way and also see how the stance was--good and low. It does sit a little over an inch low in the rear so I will look into that after the front stuff is completed.

Is that a hole saw on your grinder?

 

[crash2]

Thats a wire wheel...

:haha:

 

[WA-Wheeler]

is it getting a heavy bumper and winch? if so it might level out........ unless you need that inch in the rear.

"very possible"--he's looking at possibly grabbing a winch since we talked about making sure this thing is pretty well setup to run for about a year where we go to stage 2...

Ok, I was looking at it on my phone and zoomed in and still couldn't tell. But I was thinking, damn Crash has balls, throwing a hole saw on a grinder. :redneck:
