Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Dad's72, I unbolted it piece by piece because I don't have good place to store the assembled doghouse inside. If you can just remove the hood and front bumper, and unbolt the fenders from the cab, it is much easier, however, you will need some extra muscle to move the whole thing after it's unbolted. My garage also has an 8' ceiling, so I built a frame out of 8' 4x4 posts and used a come-a-long to remove the engine. I unbolted the trans first and removed that separately, as the wooden frame would not support the weight of the big block and TH400 trans together. Here is a pic of the frame I built.
