Core Support...More Like Life Support
I wanted to tackle one thing tonight and it was suppose to be simple. Tonight's task was to remove the core support. Easy stuff right? Wrong! Everything was going good until I got to the actual core support.
Removed trim and emblems from the fenders. Good drivers pieces here.
Removed core support to fender braces and dual horns. I restored these dual horns years ago and they have held up well. I'll be keeping these for the build.
Removed front wire harness. This thing is 50 years old. Probably a fire hazard. Will definitely be replacing this.
Now for the fun part. I started with the drivers side. Cushions are rotted but the bolt is in good shape. It came apart easily.
On the passenger side, I found this handy work. I guess battery acid ate away at this area years ago and this is the best way somebody could repair it. Strange how I never noticed this before today.
Check out the other side out of the repair panel!
Needless to say, I had a lot of issues getting this bolt to break loose. I got pretty mad at it and starting ripping it apart. I wasn't very successful with this method.
I finally just had to cut the head of the bolt off. This did the job and the core support is officially off the truck. Next stop, the dumpster!
