Beautiful Day for Truck Work
 
One of those days when it is really nice to be in the south. Disassembly began today. It's not going to be a total frame off, but I'm going to try and do as much as I can. Goal is to be reassembled by End of September. Maybe no exterrior paint, but drivable for Crusing the Coast.

Oh this is the adverse conditions I had to work in today. This is the in the serious shade temp:D :D

This is what I got through today. First time going this far on her. Definitely a learning experience. Man the trash that you can find in the cowl and hidey holes after 30 years.

Last pic for today. She's all tucked away for visions of a clean frame, fresh paint ed frame and engince compartment, and a non-rusty front end.

Have a good one all. Feels really good when you make progress.

Looks like you had some fun, alright... I'm new at this, is there a reason why you started at the front? I took the box off first for some instant gratification, lol...

It was almost as warm here in ND as it was there! Go El Nino! (SP?)

Well I replaced the rear wheel cly.on the gold 69 and when I pulled the rear drums off the brake shoes had been put on backwards so I swap them around also,after bleeding the brakes I replaced the valvecover's and gasket's then I put aset of pioneer speaker's in the cab so I could here those tunes alittle better also. I think we had a good day and glad to here you guy's did to.

Pain in the butt bolts!
