Work Begins
Work began with the removal of the front clip; hood, fenders, radiator and support, all gone. Next out came the engine and transmission, then the complete front axle, springs, steering box, all gone. All of the spring hangers, transmission cross brace, emergency brake, clutch arm, brake master cylinder, all have been removed in preparation for the new IFS front end with disc brakes and power rack to be installed.
While I was working on dismantling the front, my wife Audrey was been busy stripping the cab out. Like the front end, everything has been removed.
