Day 12
Took Day 10 off to do errands: grocery shopping, haircut, and buy tools.
Day 11 and today, removed more internal body panels, the tail gate (which still has that little folding step on the inside) the windshield, roof and back bottom half of the cab.
Rewelded the stud on the split rim and reinstalled the tire and wheel back on the truck. Rubber on all four for the first time in 11 days!
Rechecked the king pins and definitely will need new bushings and more than likely, king pins as well.
Rounded up some sleepy neighbors at 7:00 AM this morning to push the truck out of the garage and turn it around so that the bed is facing the driveway. Am going to pull off the bed onto my trailer so that we can disassemble it.
Found another picture on the forum of a bed similar to mine (see picture.) I believe that mine must have originally had a wireless bed.
It's forecast to be 114 F today so have quit for the day!
Regards,
Jim
