The single most time consuming part of the whole removal was geting the emergency brake cable loose without breaking anything. I am going to try and use the S10 e brake foot bracket in the truck, so I took my time. I used an old trick of using a small hose clamp to collapse the one way end on the e brake cable where it snaps into the bracket. Works every time. If anything, I usually have to loosen the clamp as I tend to tighten them up too much and the cable won't slide out once the retainer is compressed.

Now I need to start on power washing the chassis and plan to get some help removing the 55 sheetmetal, as it is heavier and I am more concerned about screwing things up on it, since it is going to be what I keep!

Weather update: SNOW FLURRIES (!) Temps in the 30s, hard freeze down into the teens (!) tonight. ONLY IN CENTRAL TEXAS!!! 60 degree temp change overnight!
