Well, after missing the Winchester parade (again) and the Mechanicsville VFD Parade this weekend because we just haven't been able to get the truck to even start (let alone run), we've made the big decision to pull it out of service and remove the drive train.

Out comes the 305E V-6, SM-465 and both axles. Back in goes the Detroit 4-53T, RT-610 Road Ranger and the Dana 80 rear axle (with disc brakes).

We already have most of the components on hand. And I will be sure to take pics as we go along.

Wish me luck in getting further on this than the last time ... wink

Regards,
John
