Front is off. All nuts and bolts were new already. Only thing you left out is the running board stainless trim and the lateral supports for the lower backs of the fenders to frame.
Of course the paint took a knick... should buff out.
Trans is out as well. It was a little turd, but I muscled it out. Took it from the top. Ripped out the gorilla glued carpet to find a half rotting piece of removable wood floor that was not bolted in at all. My son took out 4 bolts from trans himself as I supervised. He was covered in dirt and grease. The wife was super excited cause it was little man's bed time lol!!
Motor is free and ready to come out. Going to get hoist tomorrow from my storage/shop and tear down motor to take block to machine shop. Hopefully I can take my time and mark everything so I know where it came from and get to the machine shop before 6pm.
Will look over bearings and have machine shop access cylinder condition.
new transmission mounts will be needed, rotten. and that rubber support at the very end of the trans is missing, can't recall the name of that at the moment...but helps with keeping the motor center or something like that.
quick question....throw out bearing...should it only rotate freely with no binding if I push in on it? if I push on the bearing and rotate it is smooth...if I don't push it is rough.
