Good Progress
Made good progress today. Ben fabricated a support brace for the 4-speed z-bar. This reinforces the inner fender wall area where the stud attached to the ball-stud comes through. It was welded to the inner fender and also the frame rail…and provides a stronger brace than the factory one. It was fabricated out of 2 pieces of angle iron and a solid piece of steel to connect them all together. After it was welded and re-installed, I sprayed it with an undercoating so that it would just ‘disappear’.
Re-installed the steering column and all of the steering components. Need to order Outer Tie-Rod ends.
