Well, lots of cutting, grinding and welding got the hitch in. I couldn't pound the frame straight (not enough room to swing a big sledge) so I "relief cut" the frame and then pounded it. I used my head porting grinder to reach the "1st left rear area" to grind it away..I will get my welder friend to finish weld the frame or add additional bracing. He has a more powerful welder and much more welding skill..I will put the hitch and enormous 1 ton rear bumper into storage. If I left those pieces installed, it would reduce the size of my workspace in my smaller garage a lot! I will install the rear bumper etc in the spring..
I also installed the wiper motor (thanks for the wiring diagram Brandon of this webiste). The wiper motor runs but so far only on high speed easily. I can get it to run on low if I mess around with the switch settings. The wiper park function works as well.
I need to convert my TH-400 trans to a analogue speedo. To do this I need to change my digital drive gear. I have to remove the digital drive gear and put a 14 tooth one on. I also need to order the 14 tooth from gear vendors..
I will pick up a trans mount this week as well.
The next stages of this project will be to install the engine/trans and then over the winter "hook up" all the items associated with the engine/trans combo..
