      Agreed. First thing I thought of when he started placing the master cylinder. Seems to me he should have got the engine placed first. We'll see!

    That was awesome, Wally! Really enjoyed that. Last year I bought a table that adapts a Harbor freight band saw to the table. It makes sheet metal and steel bar or tubing cuts so much easier. Pretty small investment but I think it's a lot safer than using a cutoff wheel. Just a thought and a recent tool addition I've really valued

    Good job. I finally caught one before it was 6 months old. Looks like it went pretty smooth. I just spent 3 days engineering the clutch linkage on my 56 GMC Detroit swap. The first two attempts were failures, after completely going another direction it all came together. The only thing I may have done differently is I would have made the upper cut so it kept the lip.

    Well done Wally, you’re making great progress. Those brakes will be plenty strong enough and so will the cab. You won’t need air bags😂.
    I can’t help noticing that like me, you’re a bit hit and miss with the PPE. There’s a bloke here in Australia that has invented earmuffs and safety goggles all in one. They’re called Eye Muffs and I purchased a set and find them very good. They fit over my normal eye glasses and swing up when I don’t need them. He is developing better designs all the time like blue tooth earmuffs ect and parts like the ear pads and clear lenses are replaceable. I have no connection with the company except that I live only a couple of suburbs away from him. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺

    I agree with using motorhome parts when possible. One slight change I might have made. I would have moved the whole master cylinder to the driver's side by adding a jackshaft type of pivot rod. The master cylinder wouldn't be directly under the pedal but more torward the driver's side fender. Could even mount it reverse direction so it was not under the floor at all.

    • @wallysworkin823
      @wallysworkin823  Месяц назад

      That’s pretty much how it was in the motorhome, I couldn’t mount it forward because it’s too long and would stick out the grill. I thought about turning it sideways but I needed the room for radiators and such. The front of these trucks are very short. Thanks for watching.
