thought i'd add acouple more progress pics to this thread instead of starting a new............
i believe i've installed the eng/tranny for the last time , i'm debating installing the head/intake etc.... and build the exhaust system, fuel & brake lines next.......OR put the cab on the frame, which even though it might not be the smarted thing to do, i'm really excited about it.

acouple pics of the finished front and intermediat shafts and mount. the front/front shaft is make of 1/4" wall tubing to add alittle more clearance around the oil pan/tranny etc.....

fyi, the tranny mount looks pretty crazy because i make it adjustable. I plan to work out the intermediate driveshaft vibrations i suspect i'll have by adjusting the height of the tranny or transfercase. once final tranny height is achieved, i'll build a solid mount.

I just want to say your project, as well as Jon (irondragon), and Nathan, (51Dueller) have me considering a 4x4 conversion since I have so many spare parts laying around. And since I have been a 4x4 nut from the getgo, it only makes sense. Nothing too fancy, just something to put the plow on when the 79 Bronco dies. I'm considering using one of my KB2's. Anyway, your project is looking great!!!

PS: Today I pulled the T19 from my 73 IH, and the mounting bosses on the bottom will be perfect for my F2 crossmember in my first 48 f1 project, so it got me to thinking....oh no!

LOVE IT!! I watch it (mostly on pirate) because it is cool. I would love to make one someday.

That OD/Flat black one posted on pirate looked good, too. You PA guys should get together and shoot a bunch of photos.
