Re: 86 k 20 project "cletus"

Well I woke up @ 3am this morning and got to thinking about stuff and I couldn't get back to sleep so I went out to the barn and tinkered with Cletus a bit.

I stripped off the brake lines, fuel lines, remainder of the electrical system, remainder of the cab mounts (had to use a grinder with cut off wheel since the cab was so rusted the bolts took a hunk of the cab each with them). I started to attempt to remove the shocks and fuel tank, but the bolts were so rusted I didn't get far and ended up spraying them down with PB blaster and hoping that will loosen them up a bit.

I'm pretty concerned with how I'm going to remove the 1x1 square metal pieces from the top of the frame that were installed as spacers for the dump bed to rest on. They are bolted to the top of the frame, but the bolts are rusted and seized. I hope I don't have the hack the frame to get them off.
