Because we didn't know how to get the gear lever out, we took off the top of the gearbox. what I already expected came true, more water damage. I've come to the conclusion that the fire destroying the truck occurred many years ago and the fire brigade of course drowned the truck to extinguish the fire, causing all that water to sit in the steering gear and the gear box.
we'll deal with that when we get to that point. first we lifted of the cab with the three of us, pretty easy. whats next.. see if we can get that engine running, arranging a solution for the steering gear and reviving that gear box.
