Pulling the cab
Finally found some time to get back to this project.
Managed to get the cab pulled, then we steam cleaned the frame rails, cross-member and front suspension. How come it always ends up that I am covered in grease when I do this? It took longer to clean myself up afterwards than it did to clean the truck!
Here's a few pics of our backyard behind the garage shop. The shade is awesome on days like today. (Hit 99F) Some day a real shop...
The red line shows where we hooked a come-along to a strap around the main trunk and to the harness we lifted with. Sure wouldn't want to be under that branch if it snapped!!
We put the cab on the bed to be out of the way while we work.
Double decker!
We then pulled the zf5 and 205 combo - easiest trans pull ever!
After that we steam cleaned for about 1.5 hours. Lots of guck hiding everywhere. I'm sure there is still places I missed even after laying on my back under the thing and going at it from every conceivable angle. (That's what she said!) By the time we got the motor back up on the hoist it was getting dark and time to quit. Here are a few shots of the DT466 actually hovering above the frame rails. It was nice to see how things are lining up compared to my measurements.
