BB 2019 last minute thrash

That's just one bolt!! You better explain some stuff before you bail over one bolt!

:dunno: :D

That bolt was just the start of the He-- that truck put us through.
Two hours to get the rear bumper off
Went to take a shackle bolt off. Impact on one side wrench on the other. Zing, bolt spins really easy, hmm nut is not moving...........

If everything had gone smoothly yes, but it went from that's it easy to do - oh crap we have to take these five other things off because the thing that was easy cannot come off because of those five things.

Sucky all the circumstances that have lead up to you guys working on it now instead of weeks ago as intended
 
Wasn't yours on Eric's trailer?

Yeah, I feel pretty bad about that whole thing. Eric keeps telling me not to worry about it, but it was my rig on the trailer when his motor blew.
 
I do have the cap-offs for a steering box, 6AN

I have caps AND plugs, cuz I'm wacky like that... the plugs keep the cylinder from bleeding oil and getting contaminated, and I have old hoses off of the '72.

After working on it for 2 days this weekend, I feel decent about how what I have packed. It isn't exactly pretty, but I have the rear seat now usable and I am close to ready.,.. I just gave to finish packing a couple of ammo boxes with stuff and figure out a way to tie down the cooler.
Way more prepared than a month ago!
