And so it begins . . . . the inevitable "I'll just do a little at a time" turns into a much. Over task. It is a lot of fun. Just remember that you can drop it lower at a later time. Enjoy it.
Yeah, not what I planned. But man, the more I get into this thing the more I see what it really needs. I'm still trying to only take apart what I'm working on. I do have some good support with friends and clients interested in what I'm doing. They come by and help with bits and give me good advice.
I can get a whole front end to swap out for free. The engine is only held in with the cross member bolt anyway. And all the pain in the but stuff in the cab is already off. It's just the four bolts left. I'm a good parts changer but that's about it so I'll focus on getting the chassis rolling smooth and looking good while the motor is gone. I have client who's a pro engine guy so we're trading out for him to dial the motor in. I have another buddy who gave me a Muncie tranny to use if I want. So yeah, changes and lots to think about.
I knew I was going to be able to trade out work for this project but I might have to call it, "The Truck That Tattoos Built." Hahaha
