    I was thinking the same thing. First time I saw it. It looks like a B 73 or 75.

    Yes Geoff if you’re running the truck full-time, that’s certainly the way to go

    Excellent thanks for that Mark I should sign up with eBay. I have never used them, but they do have a lot of cool stuff for fair prices.

    Didn’t mention I pulled my transmission out with the pallet jack I was also in the dirt so I had a chunk of plywood laid down over the dirt. Then I leveled out a transmission with a couple of pieces of wood. I was by myself. I got very lucky transmission pulled right out straight and went right back in After I change the clutch again. I don’t know if I could do it by myself now. At 68 I haven’t got anywhere near the strength I used to at 39.

    Oh, by the way, Paul that hand jive caper probably would’ve worked when I was around 27 I was quite the bull nowadays not so sure about lifting anything. I don’t even know how I’m gonna get the doors off that thing when it gets to it.

    That’s how I pulled the transmission last time with a pallet on it thanks I had better access to them back then. Thanks for that.

    im thinking of just pulling the wheels off and putting my motorcycle jack under the drum,,,i sold my last harley around 5 years ago,,,now im going to modify that thing a bit and use it to swap out the transmission with it also,,,,i dont have enough room to swing the hoist around where it is and turning the truck around requires alotta manuvers
  21. mowerman
    That’s a genius. I wasn’t thinking that I was just going to pull up both wheels and tie a chain around the brake drum you’re away sounds easier thanks for that
  22. mowerman
    But that’s the one thing good about a garage that doesn’t matter you can pull shit apart and just leave the bolts laying on the floor as well as just leaving the stuff there when you get done besides by the time you get done with the job you’re usually exhausted and don’t feel like picking up anything

    I have 30 feet of workbench space entire length just about a one side up until a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t even lay down a pack of cigarettes anywhere on the 30 feet. I finish a job and I usually just leave the shit sitting there actually, the work benches are the only Thing that has always cluttered. I picked up a little bit of shit a couple of weeks ago and put it away and threw a bunch of stuff out, but yes, I am notorious for just leaving tools, old gaskets, etc. etc. just laying there after each job.

    Oh man, that’s heartbreaking. The R model doors are difficult to pull out also but I usually don’t wind up scratching anything you’re pretty much just have to yank them.out next time you screw with them maybe you might have to just shave them off a little bit of the window slider channels. I have thought of that before.

    I almost stayed at my old job part-time moving trailers, but I was talking to a guy that just got off of one and went back to forklift driver and I asked him what the deal was and he said he got tired of jumping on and off that thing, it was easier to run a forklift
