Ok I think I have decided on the path this truck is going to go on after a week of thinking and discovery ! It’s probably going to be a few weeks before I can get it into the shop as my son and his buddy are working on a 97 mustang. So I’m going to leave the truck out behind the barn until then, and just keep spraying every nut and bolt with penetrating oil every day or so hopefully that will help with some of the worst bolts. In the meantime lots of research and questions!! I’m still looking for a repair manual anyone have an opinion on where to find the best one ? Here’s a picture of the rear anyone know what the bent up bracket is ? Im thinking it was a spare tire holder but not to sure !
