The fenders are fiber glassed to the cab so clip removal is out of the question
Thanks Len

I have never removed the engine WITH the trans and I have taken many engines out. I got in the habit because in the salvage yard when pulling them, it was much easier to just jack one side off the ground and drop the trans first than removing rad support, etc, etc. With the trans gone, you don't have to remove anything but maybe the hood. Takes longer though. | | |
