got the bed off.
(pay no attention to the dog toys and dog pool)
here is what I have to work with
I think my diff leaks..
seems like the original spare tire.
and there is some damage to the bed on the drivers side behind the wheel. I think the axle has been replaced. the cab had a dent like the bed was pushed into it. not too bad. but there. the shackle mount is bent and 2 of the rivets are sheered off. then someone used one of the rivet holesas a ground.
I removed all the bolts I needed to. the front of the spring has the bolt through but no nut on it. Now I need to remove about 60 or so rivets. REALLY wish I had a torch to just pop them. I might just buy a torch. otherwise its using the angle grinder to grind then down. which will take forever.
and here is what I want my ride height to be. then lay rocker when aired out.
doubt much work is going to get done on this until mid september. We are working 14 hour shifts. 12 nights on, one night off, 12 nights on, one night off and 12 more nights on. going to suck and I wont have ANY energy to do anything with it. most likely. going to be good paychecks though.
