Re: Bierkan's 50 Re-Build

This weekend I had to work quite a bit, so not much done to the truck. Soon I'll have to find garage space to keep working on it.

The more I look at my clutch linkage, the more I see wrong with it. Transmission seems to be sitting low and crooked, causing a serious bind on the linkage. I'm not positive, but they may have moved the engine forward to clear the cab. I need to find an unmolested C-10 for comparison.

I sat in the cab to further define the ergo issues and saw that my left knee hits the turnsignal arm. It's a Chevette column mounted low due to it's width. That is part of the reason for the clutch linkage move on the pedal.

Wed I plan on spending the day at a salvage yard pulling inner fenders, hood latch, steering column, steel bed floor, and looking over manual C-10 trucks for comparison. Trailing arms and brake booster should arrive this week as well. Should be able to locate, drill and mount the cross member this week.
