Haven't been getting a lot done lately. been waiting on parts. Here is a couple of pics of what came today..........It is an HT-502.........512 ft lbs of torque at 2800 rpm. I figure that will serve the purpose of what this truck is intended for.............

Well I reached another milestone today........I decided to go with a power brake system mounted on the firewall. I did this because I plan on using this as a daily driver. I figured it would be easier for serviceability.........

Well I did get some things done today. It is just difficult to try and get much done after you have been at work all day...............anyway the column is set in place so I can order my intermediate shaft. I had my son going around to junk yards today looking for a 9" rear. Anyone got one they wanna let go of??........we found several but I am looking for one that is 54"-56" backplate to backplate................let me know if you come across one.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Nice work man! Your Mustang II set up looks good and the 502....well, that's going to be one serious truck for towing! Keep up the good work!

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Looking good! great choice for the motor. What tranny did you go with? 4L60? 4L80 to handle all that torque?
Love the feather. Steve |

As for the feather, it was laying in my front yard when we returned from Arizona with the truck, figured it must have meant something....:confused: |

Well it might not look like I got much done today, however, I cut the motor loose and moved it forward about 3/4", then I found a ford 9" that was out of a coil spring car and had about 200 brackets that had to be cut off and ground down. Anyway I roughed in the rear with the triangulated 4 link and tomorrow I will remove the rear and finish welding the new brackets on. Once I remove the bed I will box the aft frame..............

Well it seems that progress has slowed to a crawl..........man waiting on parts really drags on. Anyway since I have had the time I welded all those unwanted factory holes closed on the firewall, put the sound barrier on the cab floor and started to fit the air ride to the rear diff.......

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Man you're moving right along on the build...
You might want to look into changing the mount for the shock waves. Those rivets might not want to support the truck. Most of the kits have an upgraded cross member. Brian ...:cool: |

I have been looking at that.......thinking about reinforcing the existing mounts or ....changing it out totally.....thanks for the "heads up".... |
