I "fret" over things! Especially items that are giving me trouble because I am having problems visualizing the details.
Example, engine placement in the Super 10. Because S-10 trucks never came equipped with SBC engines nor 12 bolt rear axles, nor 32 x 14 rear tires it is a challenge to juggle the driveline alignment.
So, after some "fishing lessons" from an experienced friend, I did just like a full tube chassis would be aligned.
I used a full length mandrel [also known as a section of 2 1/2" tubing] through all main caps all the way to the pinion flange.
Photo #1 shows mandrel aligned with pinion [camera angle is mis-leading, it is spot on aligned]
Photo #3 show mandrel out rear of block
Photo #4 shows mandrel out front main
When finalized the pinion will be adjusted about 1.5* down
I like it when a plan comes together
