Well here is a long weekend update: cut out the floor board - passenger side of my 47 1-ton dually, cut out the drivers side cab corner, all work I could do before I send it to my buddy the welder. Also had 6 brand new 8R-19.5's mounted on my previously blasted and painted rims. Removed the seat sliding rails proceeding to break off both bolts on the drivers side in the rails. They were rusted beyond saving anyway. Installed my clean oil pan on the 216, ready to turn over on the engine stand to begin working topside. Oh yeah - tore down the distributor to clean up and paint the outside.

1947 - 3800 dually known as "Deadwrench"
