To a point. If it really didn't matter we'd be flipping left-handed 241 cases over to fit our right-hand trucks.

Same here I've only seen the lower crossmembers. Never seen the tall one I even in person.
Right. The bottom must always be the bottom. Oil pumps at top don't work too good.
The tall adapters were used from 1981-1984, the short adapters from 1985-1987('91).

All CUCV's were built as 1984 models.

So can it be run upside down? It's mostly full of oil, right?
I would say no. Reason being is the bolt holes are not concentric on the 208. the other crazyness would be shifting it with the shift rod facing the bottom lol.

Worked on the special socket today. Only 1 minor interference to deal with and it's done.
Found some giant channel locks and actually got the nut off, which is cool because I can make sure it actually fits the socket. It does.
I saw a torque spec of 110 lbs on this nut so it's obviously not going back on with channel locks. Hopefully I'll get it right tomorrow.

Damnit. This whole missing part game is getting really old to me. Turns out there's no pushrod between the hydroboost unit and the master cylinder.
I can't seem to find it either. Gonna check lmc.

PnP more likely. Or you can fab your own ... it's just round rod with sphered ends. I think it's 1/4" OD, but length is of course critical. I'd offer to measure mine, but I think you got the later ('88+?) setup so it won't do any good.

I'm thinking so. I'll have to go in there, peel one apart and pockets the needed parts. Shouldn't be too hard. Seems like it just slides in.
I went with the 87 setup. Not sure why but that's what I got.
I'd make it but the problem is that goofy looking washer.
Ohh, the washer is a spring, yeah, holds the rod in place.
If you can't find one @ the PnP, lemme know. I'm moving this weekend, but mid-next week I can pop my master off and measure the pushrod for you.

Cool thanks! I thought you already moved!
To be precise, we bought the house last year, I moved, but we waited for her kid to graduate before moving her and the kid.

Hydroboost bracket. Now I just need the bullshit pin.
My uncle has one of those BS pens. He scoops the corral out and dumps all the BS over the fence with the tractor

I have to shoot my way to the pin tomorrow. Wish me luck. Gonna take some spare mags and the oops vest lol.
Just got home, looked in the shop, I have a spare set of the pin and the spring. If you don't wanna PnP it or strike out, welcome to swing down and get these. I'll shoot you a PM here in a minute.
