Cleaning

I decided to start cleaning up the motor and transmission a little today.  

This thing was a mess:





After a couple of hours cleaning, I decided to start removing some of the stuff on the frame.  I took a lot of pictures to help me put it back together a little easier:

Exhaust brackets:












Brake/Fuel Lines:








Emergency brake:











 Transmission Lines:






Jimmy showed up a little later and helped me remove some of the transmission linkage.  She may be the next mechanic in the family.






Later on, Mama-Two-Chins helped me clean on the drivetrain a little and remove some of the exhaust.



Looks a lot better!!



 What's Next:  Take off front suspension and steering.

Body Lift

Lifted the body off the frame today......all by myself!!  Only took a couple of hours, but hard work nonetheless.

I lifted each corner of the body one cement block at a time to reach a height that would allow the frame to roll out from under it.



Nasty!

Really nasty!!






Needs new body mounts:






What's Next:  Not sure.
