Default Save everythng original......

Hi Eric

Save all the sheet metal.... that may have more value than anything else.

I believe from what you told me the frame was toast,,,,,,but with four legs welded on will make a good stand for storing axles, etc.

The engine is a mid 70 GM with the same period tranny.... tranny could be usefull...... engine is scrap.

Check the bellhousing, as suhhested if it is the right hand drive model with the clutch on the driver's side..... save that.....

A lot of cross memebrs on the frame have been butchered..... if you scrap the frame take the time to remove all the spring hangers..... just grind the heads of the rivets flush and punch out the rivets with a drift punch/hammer.

At the front of the frame you have two brackets.... L shape... the hold the bumpers on the frame.....save that.....

Save the heavy floor plate of the cab it is probably the rare dot and dash diamond plate that is not made anymore.....

Have a good time salvaging...... and watch your foot..... I mean the other one that is not broken yet!!!!

Bob
