Folks -
The time has come to plan for the winter project. My old neighbor's son is an avid welder and for my round birthday, he gave me a certificate to have him work on whatever I needed in his heated barn/shop.
I have 2 known (likely more unknown) issues:
1. Bulkhead outriggers are shot
2. Driver side footwell rotted through
I was going to remove tub, clean and inspect my frame up to bulkhead - replace oil lines, prime, and rewire rear harness. I was then going to have my resource weld 2 new outriggers on, and the footwell piece.
Anything nasty I need to prepare for when removing tub? I want to be able to return from journey...not have a tub lying around my basement for 2 years.
Oh - 67 Ser iia 88.
Thanks!!
Carl
PS - if the truck was "good looking" I would consider the new frame option, but it is not, and truly a beater to some extent which needs to be kept alive. We love her regardless.
