Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

All moved and settled into my new house now. The garage is about half the size, and its more of a clean, quiet neighborhood than my last house, but it'll work.



Got my radiator hoses hooked up last night. Then tonight I swapped out the stock 3/4 ton rear D52 calipers for these nice Wilwood small bore calipers. Yummy. I want another pair for the front (too bad I'm broke).



I also cut new openings in my *new* transmission cover to fit over the new transfer case shifter location. I think i'm going to use two of the same '73 transmission shifter boots for both the trans and the transfer case. I just need to find another oval shaped retainer ring.





I also made a start at installing my American Autowire wiring kit. And by make a start I mean that I opened the box, pulled out the new fuse box and held it up to the firewall. I can already see that the cowl vent handle is going to hit the new fuse box so I'm going to have to modify the mounting plate.
