How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Lastly for today my friend Matt was over working on his project with some help from me. Anyway back to he truck, I took advantage of him being over so that I could try and get the transfer case back into the frame. We ended up removing the tool box and spare tire carrier, slid the transfer case under the frame on a dolly. Then using the shop hoist I was able to sling a strap and we lifted the case up and into the frame. In hindsight it would have been much much easier to do this before the cab and box were mounted on the frame. But you only live once and well everything can’t be the easy route. We did manage to get some bolts in place enough to support it without the straps and hoist. However we so far cannot get the two large bolts and spacer washers to line up. They are off about a 1/16” of an inch. I’m thinking I may have to use my porta power to force the case over just that little bit.

Lastly is there supposed to be some kind of a spacer where I’ve circled in he picture?
