Project: Tiki Express, '65 C10 Panel Truck Build

Had a productive weekend. First order of business was to figure out the clutch linkage issues. Not the easiest thing to do when laying on your back looking up at everything. Had to think about direction of things a lot but it worked out.

Started mocking up a bracket for the block. Used some thick bar stock to make the main piece to hold the ball stud. Used my press brake to bend it and it mounts to the rear ball stud hole in the block. Then I make another bracket to tie into the bell housing bolt and welded everything together. Worked out great and super strong. Then I found the clutch pedal was loose on the shaft so I removed that and welded up the end again. Got all of the linkage in and adjusted. Very happy with the results.
