I moved a bunch of woodworking machines out of the way today, and drove my ‘50 1/2 ton into my shop in preparation of taking it all apart as my winter project.
Long term, I have a 292 that is going to get all new internals from Jack Clifford Performance to replace the 235 that’s under the hood now. The upgrade in HP is going hand in hand with a fully boxed frame and I had a Mustang ll independent front end given to me by a friend, so that’s going to replace the straight axle.
My question is, has anyone figured out a way to remove all the big painted bits by themselves? It’s going to be easier to work on the frame with everything out of the way, but I work by myself and don’t have a couple of extra hands to hold fenders etc while they are being unbuttoned.
Has anyone tried a rolling gantry? I’ll have to build one to lift the cab and the box. I suppose I could use the same rig to hold fenders and hood while they are being unbolted. I think I just answered my own questions. Thanks for the help everyone.
