Yesterday I managed to get the front clip off. Found a great place to put it. (I must say, there are benefits of not having a bed yet.)

I had the delightful experience separating the fender from the cab and running board. That may not seem that difficult, but someone decided to braze/weld the fender to the running board and cowl panel.. That's why it took me about 7 hours to remove it without damaging anything too much.
In the end all that was left, was the fender corners to separate, and I figured I would have to replace those corners because they rusted through, so I just decided to cut at the corners.

Today I power washed the beast. With a 2500 psi washer, I still couldn't get the grease of the motor. Although I did remove several pounds of mud and bits off the frame. So I guess that's good.

My next goal is to get at least the emergency brake working so I don't need to hold the chucks while I wheel it out of the garage everyday.
