I spent some more quality time in the driveway today. I have all the body mount bolts cut, broke, or otherwise separated, and I only had to use 3 tools...
The body is separated from the frame, and while I was downloading these pics, I realized that I forgot to disconnect the pressure gage. Other than that, it's all ready to come off and it's sitting on my redneck body lift kit...
The lift put a bit a upward pressure on the firewall. I don't think it's as stiff as GM designed it anymore.
We all find things that the PO or even we did with our trucks when not all the correct parts or tools were available. I wonder how the frame didn't crack from the stress for the front upper shock mounts. Pretty sure that is not a dealer add-on...
And last, but not least, a little bit of payback from the Jimmy. Here's the loose change from under the seats, about $1.38, which brings my cost down to $902.
I also earned about $60 from scrapping out a bunch of stuff, bringing the total down to $842.
