Supposed to be working on tear down of white and blue super cab tonight...shooting for front clip removal so I can do intake/exhaust gasket on the 300 six....once body is all stripped off....and any other drivetrain work is done...body from pic that has 2nd super cabs cab on back will go on that frame.

 

crew looks good! Keep the progress rolling!

 

Almost ready to pull front clip

Closer Shot...see the 300 Six? LOL

Got what I was hoping to get done tonight!!!

 

you've had a productive couple of days Dave - keep it up!

 

I've been trying...lol...helps when you have someone there for an extra hand and just to BS with too!!!

 

I find having someone else around makes me BS more then work though. Luckily for me the radio is enough to keep me entertained.

There are times when an extra hand would for sure be nice though!

 

That's exactly what I use when I'm by myself...I have a set of powered speakers and I hook the iPod up to it...and go to town!!!

 

Here's a couple pics from Saturday night....the 300 inline 6 had an exhaust leak...so while tearing down with front clip removed...figured that would be the easiest way to knock it out fairly quick.

Manifold All Cleaned up

 

Here's a few more updated pics...nothing fancy...but bed will be coming off tomorrow.

Not a ton of progress...but at least some...slowly coming along!!!

 

i know this is a little time late so i apologize. but the same thing happened to my truck when the po had it only the fuel filter was cracked we had a hard freeze and i guess it got brittle or there was some condensation it it or something. any how burnt the exact same stuff as well as the housing on the automatic choke.

i also set on on fire once i was young and dumb but we hat a hose hanging down and didn't see what it went to nothing was leaking out of it while the truck ran so we just wired it up in the engine comp so it wouldn't drag. we got out in the field and got to goosing on it and cutting up and the truck lit up. winds up that hose was the transmission overflow and there was way too much fluid in there so when it got hot it started spewing right on the hood and down on the exhaust manifold burnt some wires and stuff but still cranked and drove back to the house.

i know kind of irrelevant but it was funny.

i love your trucks man wish i had a tow rig to move all my crap.

Looks Good!! I dont think I have ever seen a "living" dark and light blue supercab besides mine.

 

It's got some pretty bad sun damage to the paint...but it isn't rusty...paint is easy compared to rust...LOL...Came from Arizona

 

I'm wondering what your "cab removal apparatus" grabs a hold of at the rear of the crew cab?
