Busy weekend. Didn't get to do any work on the truck until 6:30pm Sun. Got the exhaust loose(only broke one of the 6 bolts!) Got the motor mounts and trans mount loose. Took the shifter linkage, starter wiring, and power steering hoses aloose. Nothing left but pull the eng/trans out and start breaking it down.

Stopped by my brother-in-law's Saturday and got to talking about my project. He offered to help build the engine. He knows the truck, because he was a mechanic at my dad's shop and his partner at the end. We worked together for many years at the shop and on our dirt track team. He's a great mechanic who has a big shop behind his house. He said to bring the motor down when I pull it and we'd get to work. That'll save me time and money. I'm going to try to get it pulled by the end of the week and down to his shop.

More to come!
