Well I was trying to wrap up my front end work yesterday by clearancing my adjusters and shift rod when I found out that my lower center block was stripped out and needs some attention 😡😥😫

Damn will, that is a mess. Maybe you can take the spring out, and turn the block 180 to redrill/thread with it still in the beam? Or do like I did and just weld everything together and forget about it.

Looks like you’re off the lift now. Do I get my work space back?

I retapped the hole to be a 9/16 and am crossing my fingers that there is enough meat left for the new bolt to grab on to

Well… it didn’t work. On to plan B, turning the block. It’s gonna absorb the rest of my day probably 😔

Got my beam all back together last night and the adjusters set where I’m gonna run them.

Tires showed up this morning so I’m getting the rims painted so I can get them mounted tomorrow.
