Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
No question the Super 10 is poised to fly, note the speedometer indication.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
some days bring only small progress, but any progress is good progress. This is a 3/16" thick aluminum plate custom built to mount the Strange master cylinder. On the back side is the reinforcing plate that Strange ships with the master cylinder.
All four bolts go into the factory brake booster mounting plate/column mounting fixture which a welded part of the body. Tomorrow I expect to install/setup the 6.0 12 bolt gear and complete the axle/brakes assembly. In addition, I expect to build battery mount, cell mount and mount the air armed compressor

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Time for a few updates with more coming soon.
With my continuing quest for a comfortable command center the manual crank window regulators have been replace by powered regulators. It is a direct bolt in from manual to power. We will either find a donor truck for the wiring and switches or my simply custom build.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
The master cut-off is a small item but important. A premium quality switch like this heavy duty Flaming River piece gives trouble free service.
The mounting and control is trick. It is bolted through the bed wall into the area behind the taillight. The lever connects to a control rod that exits through the back-up portion of the taillight lens. Then a Morse cable will also connect to a lever inside the truck so power switch can be operated by driver. The second photo is looking back toward the taillight mounting area. More photos of this soon.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Still doing small jobs in the bed, note fuel cell outlet fitting. The fuel pump will be mounted near this outlet. At this time I think a opening will let the upper half of the pump motor be inside the bed.
The next few days will finalize most of this rear bed area hardware.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
and I smile and shake my head each time I notice the 6.0 ratio pinion gear.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Larry - I'm sure I speak for many readers of this thread when I compliment you on the detail and quality of the work you are doing on the Super 10. It is a privelege for us all that you are spending the time you do to take the pictures, post them with narrations here and hear your thoughts as the biuld progresses. Great Job!
Dwight Southerland PS One of my Stockers used a 6.14 gear in a 12-bolt with a stick. I got to see the inside of the housing more times than I can remember!
