Re: 1959 GMC Fleet - 2wd to 4wd

I fabricated my transfer case shifter mount (3x3x3/16 angle) onto the coupling of the trans and transfer case adapter studs. The shifter is not attached to the body at all like my 67 . I used the shifter from an 86 Ford 250 which has the correct pattern for a right side mount. The pivot is an Nissan upper a-arm mount drilled out to 7/16" then top and bottom mounts attached. I have a little more trimming on the tunnel cover and also remove the mount for sandblasting and painting.

I am not sure how/if I can do it yet but I would rather not put a boot on it and try to go with something like on a 46 chevy truck emergency brake foam slide gasket. dunno

Shifter is in 2 HI position.
