Default Some pictures of T case installation...

Finally got the T case back in the frame......

Heavy sucker that thing....... used the floor jack and a nylon strap held loosely for safety... after all I was the one sittingon the floor crossed legged just in front of the darn thing.

We had difficulting liningup the bolt holes....... my L bracket was toast and Stew donated a perfectly good one that hadnot endure the twisting life of mine.... so things did not line up properly...also the spacer cast iron block was too thick by about 1/8 ... strangely when I tried fittingmy old L bracket it lined up very well... having grown to the new dimensions of my cab 11 over the years.

Anyways we resolved it by grinding 1/16 fron each side of the spacer..... drilling the frame and side plate for 1/2 grtade 8 instead of 7/16...( which I was out of again).....

The came the big bolts... the book makes reference to rubber pucks vibration spacers as well as heavy 1/4 inch washers.... we found an old tire and cut the side wall for 3/16 rubber spacers and bolted everyting together.....
