Re: Overdrive Transmission in a 1952 F1
I finally finished installing the motor and R10 overdrive. I had some difficulty finding a 16 spline yoke but found a new Powerglide one last week. It fits perfectly and the drive shaft turned out to be the correct length also and is in place with new u-joints. I still need to find a side shift steering column but I think I have a lead on one about two hours away. Any ideas as to what I should expect to pay for a steering column without a steering wheel? I also need to still find a clutch pedal.
The brake MC is attached to the crossmember which is mounted 3.5" back but will need a rod extension to reach the brake pedal. The clutch/brake assembly will attach to the short section of crossmember which is in the original position. There is plenty of space for the solenoid.
Tomorrow I plan to start replacing the king pins, the brake shoes, brake lines and hoses and shocks.
