Default Don't understand the logic of cutting the nose

Hi

Given how easy it is to remove the entire nose why take the time to cut one corner off?
Yes that's all they needed to fit through the door of the aircraft, but it would take about the same amount of time to unbolt the whole nose assembly as to unbolt the corner.

Very interesting set of photos and the change of sex of the truck mid way shows they were workings with both Ford and Chevy. Now this must have lead to some interesting mix and match parts problem at the other end of the trip. Or where they careful to only remove parts that were interchangeable.

Cheers Phil
