Started the teardown on the parts truck. Like ive already mentioned, the rot is horrible. The front body mounts were rotted out also which I didn't notice before and the area where it goes from boxed to c-channel was rotted out also. This thing was a rolling hazard. I don't know how the previous owner drove it like that. If that plow mount bracket wasn't there, the whole front end would have fallen out of the truck most likely. And the cab has some holes too..

Passenger side manifold bolts were seized and has fused in. Even a bolt extractor and torch won't get them....I am thinking of swapping the heads over from the other motor, since the manifolds came out perfectly on it.

Cut a hole in the floor of the cab to separate the trans from the t case. Motor mounts are unbolted...just gotta cut the passenger side manifold down pipe then I can pull the motor in the morning.
