Continued the dis-assembly working towards the front. Got the transfer-case and cross-member out, the other two drive shafts, old wiring and old fuel system plumbing.
Got more frame area ready for painting and then removed the front sheet metal. Then the winch and bumper. The pto winch won't be going back in. A Warn 16.5 will take over. That old winch and bumper must weigh a good 250 lbs.
The engine, trans, front axle and suspension come out next week. Then finish the frame, rebuild the front suspension and get the open knuckle 44 installed.
Heavy old pto winch
Winch bumper. I'm thinking of re-using this bumper for the for the new winch.
For the transmission and transfer case I'm going to go with a sm465/205 combination with a cable twin stick shifter for the t-case
I'm also likely to replace the 327 with a vortec or tbi 350. Depends on what I can find for good price.
That's it for now. Be back soon.
