Misc Progress Post 1

It's been a long time since an update and I have gotten a lot of small things acomplished. First, I started out by modifying the fuel sender out of the P30 tank to work with the S10 blazer tank I am using. The P30 tank is about 14" deep, and the Blazer tank is 10" deep. Here's the sender as it came out of the P30.

I bent the return up so that it was approximately at the bottom of the tank. Then, I cut the a section out of the supply, and put it back together with fuel hose and hose clamps. The supply and return were then hose clamped together to make the whole thing more rigid. Finally, I shortened the arm on the fuel level float so that the sender would read full and empty correctly. Below is the finished product. I installed the sender in the tank and mounted the tank to the truck for the final time. Next, I moved on to rebuilding the stock 3speed transfer case. First, everything was disassembled. Here's an "Exploded view" of all of the parts. Next, I cleaned the main case so that I could begin reassebling the case with all new bearings and seals from Cruiser Outfitters. I found that Easy-Off Oven cleaner did a great job cleaning off the grease and grime from the aluminum casing. Here's the cleaned casing.Unfortunately, I did not get any good shots of the reassembly of the Tcase. I did however catch my shop help sleeping on the job....

That's all for now... I'll have to go out and take some more pictures for the next blog.
