Currently in a UPS induced holding pattern. Parts hiccups stalled us a bit over the last week. Hopefully the log jam is about to break though. Put the tow hooks on tonight. I was convinced that the hardware was factory when we pulled them off...now not so sure. All say "LAWSON" on the head. We had em re-plated with a lot of the other hardware. As I returned them to service tonight, they seemed overly long. These aren't like what I've seen on other trucks--though I do feel like this would definitely be a thing in Fremont in 1968...where someone would just pick something that was close out of a bin somewhere. We may yet grab some new Grade 8s and throw in there.

Fingers crossed there's a parts box on the porch tomorrow and we can push this puppy forward.

Following Pete and other's lead. Gearbox and pump rebuilt by Marty at powersteering.com. Very nice job.

Eric detailed the transmission and got the transfer case and transmission mounted while we waited for the flex plate of all things to arrive. What should have been two days stretched further. When it did get here and the engine was offered up to the transmission--the motor mounts were 1-7/8" ahead of the engine stand. This was such a stupid mistake by me. As much time as I spend on here researching and troubleshooting...I should have headed this off before we got to assembling painted components.

The difference was in the length of the transfer case. To complete this conversion (4sp/Rockwell to TH350/NP205), we had to slide the transmission/adapter crossmember and the transfer case mount back to make up the difference. Which Eric and I did late last night before I had to catch an early flight this morning. A little bummed about this misstep, always longing for more progress--and now stuck out of town for a few days. Hopefully we're on the verge of a week or two where she doesn't fight so hard.

I didn't know about powersteering.com until this - will have to look into this for my 70 2wd Jimmy. Awesome work so far!

I have been using powersteering.com for years on my restorations and they do great work.
