This post is for Kevin specificly. All that dam salt and snow you had up there caused this pic. LOL We had to cut 4 exhaust manifold bolts off. AND THE MANIFOLD STILL DIDN'T COME OFF!!!
I ended up having to torch the bolts and the walking them out with vice grips. This truck is making us earn it Kevin!!!!

In this series of pics, we have a creature even MORE elusive than a Wacey monster.
This first pic is of the extremely rare and camera shy brother in law. Meet Charley. You can't really see his face, but trust me, that's prolly the best pic I have of him.
He is actually tapping out the new front cover for the steel inserts so we can put more torque on the terminator mounting bolts.
Next, Travis and Carl are getting their paint on with the drive shaft loops and front traction bars.

Motor opened up with the timing cover, and oil pan off. I swapped out the 95 front cover for a 97 front cover. Even though Joey said it wasn't needed because of the remote IPR. I hate 95 front covers. It's just me.

Chris handling some more of "Kevin's curse". That's what we are gonna call the rust. (I'm just teasing Kevin) But Rust had it's way with the core support main bolts and I had to break them off. Chris is all over it.
