Also had an awesome spotting on the way home.

Looks like you had some fun and you didn't even give me a chance to give you grief about the screw! 🤣

 

I'm going to have to invest in a camera mount to make some videos of my adventures too. 😉

[]2eDeYe]

Do it. 

 

My vids are pretty much the result of the photobucket fiasco. 😐

[]2eDeYe]

Took a ride in the truck and shot some footage. Got a bunch of upgrades coming and figured I would do a before vid.

Nice truck and sounds sweet!

[]2eDeYe]

Thanks, I really like it a lot. 

Excited to get into the next round of upgrades if I can just get my green truck out of the garage.

[]2eDeYe]

Thanks 🙂

Red is back in the garage, I actually have the engine about ready to pull.

 

Some pics from after a bath just before pulling it in.

Do you still have to pull engine and tranny out at the same time?

Yes. I am filming the operation as well. 

[]2eDeYe]

Got the video up of pulling the engine and transmission.

That is way more work than pulling an "A" motor out of a 1200. But then again, there really is nothing to an "A" motor.😆

FWIW, your footwear may not be OSHA approved.

Huh? He got socks to soak up the blood and contain the pieces.

I learned a long time ago, the hard way.. keep all body parts out from under suspended objects.

Engineering decision. Function over form. lol

I wore filp flops out to the home garage tuesday and knocked a 4way on my little toe.  I was not happy.

A long time ago when I was living in a town house and had no room in the garage for a work bench and vise I was drilling in a sheet metal piece. I was wearing sandals while holding with vise-grips and you know the rest. Big gash in my foot and I couldn't put my steel-toe work boots on for a few days so I had to miss some work. 😒

A vice is a priceless tool 🙂

Way back in 2012 (lol) I fixed the Timing Chain Idler Gear Bolt by running a set screw to hold the bolt in the head. 
Happy to report back 10 years later that the bolt was still tight. 🙂
