'34 Dodge Brothers, double build.

I can't brag about this reducer yet, because I haven't driven one. Today I tweaked and adjusted the steering system, bolted it in for the last time, and steered the truck, [on jacks]. The rack and pinion cross steer doesn't let the truck turn very sharp, but it's easy to steer.
[pic one] is the finished steering shaft.
I then did some little things inside the cab, like took the choke cable out and the key switch.

I took up the floor boards today and plumbed in the hydraulic clutch, [pic one]. Then came the system bleeding, what a horrible job. I finally got the slave cylinder working, but I noticed the pedal stroke was getting less and less. With all the pumping the pedal, I broke a cast iron weird shaped gismo that drives the master cylinder. I'm making a new iron one now.
