The truck in Mt Airy is in pieces, with that big engine on the ground, PTO sitting on top of the transmission getting corroded, a real shame actually. Compared to my 5-tonner, it should be in its own class, more like 7 ton...
It sure is! It's a rusty, crusty, greasy, diamond-in-the-rough! Just when I think I am making some headway, I find 14 other things that need done. I have to-do lists for my to-do lists! It can be a little frustrating when I go down with the intention of doing 3 or 4 projects only to find that 3 or 4 more need done in order to do the others. I'm hanging in there though. My wife, not so much. She keeps asking when it will be fit enough to drive home. I honestly tell her that I don't know yet.

I forgot to mention one other victory from Sunday. I wanted to install the t-case linkage before I installed the air valve that engages the front axle automatically in low-range, but the pivot point was rusted solid. I had to use a combination of a torch and a BFH to get it moving. Next time, I will take my drill to drill and tap the pivot for a grease fitting as suggested in PS Mag. I'll pump it full of grease and then keep working it until it moves easily.

Have I mentioned I hate salt corrosion??
