This truck pi$$es me off more the deeper i get. SHould have listen when everyone told me to just by a CST and crap a 396 in it. But oh well. Got the motor out last night

no moa · 03-25-2011, 08:35 AM

Then pulled the rear, that was time consuming, those leaf bolts did NOT want to come out.

no moa · 03-25-2011, 08:37 AM

Rolled the rear end onto its back to pull the driveshaft, and oil started pouring out, Look at this crap! Cover rusted right though.

VA72C10 · 03-25-2011, 08:40 AM

Man, sorry about all your troubles with this thing. Hope things turn for you and I'm sure in the end you're going to have a truck you will enjoy and be proud of!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-25-2011, 08:47 AM

Wow man really sorry to hear about the issues you are having..

no moa · 03-25-2011, 08:54 AM

bah, i'm used to it now, living in rust hell up here has made me bitter. I'm so stupid for not just finding a southern truck and paying the shipping to get it here. Another life lesson learned.

I'll start buying parts now from away, I'm sure rear end covers are a dime a dozen.

Thanks for the comments, we'll move along slowly.

no moa · 04-04-2011, 01:33 PM

Frames stripped. Sandblasting is next.

VA72C10 · 04-04-2011, 03:25 PM

If you were closer I'd run the wrecker down and pick that body off for ya!!! Lol the brakes are stickIng on mine. I need to fix them.
I saw your cab work! It's awesome. Great job! I unfortunately don't have a welder or the ability to weld, other than stick. So finding a cab is going to be my best option. Someday I'll buy a welder. But in not going to practice on this cab. It's way toast!

If you can stick weld, MIG will be no problem. That is what most people learn with.

no moa · 04-09-2011, 03:34 PM

I had an hour today so I got the old (wow old) sandblaster. Tossed in some fine black beauty and went to town. I got 3/4 of the outside done, not bad for 35 minutes, full bag of sand. I'll work on it more the next week when the kids are in FLA with the X.
Pics later.
