Nice long weekend

spent dismantling my "79 parts truck.

Ok, so my idea of fun is a little strange.

Took everything of any use of of it an probably a few useless things too.
An unexpected score was new rotors, calipers and drums.
Of course that means I can't tow to the wreckers now. So...I'll just have to cut it up into smaller pieces,....I need more acetylene,...

Now where to put all this crap.....


BTW, Chad the rearend was not a posi. Door tag indicated 2.75 and I pulled the axles to find chewed up 28 splines. not good so I didn't bother to pull the pumpkin.

I spent lots of long weekends like that before I got married.

This year I just dismantle my house on weekends. And then rebuild it.

Don't you wish you had a loader tractor and a flatdeck trailer like me?
