Front clip is off, ready to pull the motor. Successfully removed all the bolts holding the top on, being a double wall it has captured nuts which can be a problem if they decide to spin. View attachment 445641

AMD bedsides showed up today! Ended up ordering these from Jegs. They had the left side discounted and $150 coupon. Showed up nicely packaged in less than a week!

I’m pretty much ready to remove the blue body off the frame. Everything is disconnected. I plan to do this in my 2 stall garage with an engine hoist. Figured I attach 4 points and lift the body up. I will put the wheels on wheel dollies (which also showed up today) and slide it out should work great right???

For the tub I have a cart in going to get from a buddy. We used it on a previous project of mine. Then Ill roll that tub out and start cleaning up the frame.

Any and all advice on this is welcome

Ya he built that cart, need to go grab it

Well that was a little sketchy but body is off

Sunday update. Started striping the lines and a few things off the frame.
Drug the body outside out of the way for now.

 

[HINZ28]

Stripped the frame a little more. Ready to be blasted now.

The 283/3 speed setup is ready for @82355 to pick up. Or else it’s going to scrap

Just waiting for the update on the besides, curious how the wheel arch mounts to the inner body.

Could you take some pictures of this area, when you get time

I realize you have a lot going on, but it will help me decide if I want to buy this or not

Patch panel left a lot to be desired

Nice work so far

Trying to figure out when I will get down there,

Frame got blasted this week. What a mess it made but nice to start with a clean frame. Unfortunately the blasting did uncover on spot that needed some repair. Not terrible tho. Got some new metal welded in.

Figured I’ll leave the top welds showing so as not to ever hide anything. I trust the repair 1000% but I get it’s not perfect.

Also got some 2k epoxy primer sprayed on it right away. Followed by Eastwoods 2k chassis paint. It’s a 2 part “rattle can” I’ve had awesome experiences with any thing 2k in a can. Very professional results with out mixing and using a paint gun.

Current status
Next is new brake parts and lines
Then gas tank/lines
Need to grab a steering box
The list goes on……..

Keeping it stock height it looks like?

Keeping it stock height it looks like?

No. Those are u bolts and blocks sitting on it. Rear will get 2” block. Front will be 1” zero rate (backordered) on 3 leaf and the HD shackles that add .5” Same hight as the Ochre one I built

 

[78SWB]

I have some used zero rates if you need them now.

 

[HINZ28]

It’s no rush, of course I forgot you told me that and I ordered them the next day.
