pflaming Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Looked closely at the 'dog house' front fenders. It appears to remove one must: (1) unbolt at bottom rear corner of the fender well, (2) unbolt one bolt into the cab, this bolt is part of a brace which comes off with the finder, (3) unbolt two bolts behind the wheel, these bolts go into the frame, (4) unbolt two bolts on the cross member that supports the radiator, (5) repeat #'s 1 - 3. Since I still have my winch, it should not be difficult then to raise the entire unit off. What am I missing? If this is all, then the 'dog house' is coming off. Quote
MBF Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 If you remove the two bolts behind the kick panels on each side of the cab (attaches riveted bracket to cab), the bottom rear bolts, and the 2 rad supports (and truss rods supporting the radiator the nose should come off in 1 pc after removing the hood.

pflaming Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Posted November 7, 2008 Mine does not have truss rods and I took off one extra piece by the running board before I realized it was not necessary. Otherwise, it came off quite easily. Thankyou for the help. Quote
pflaming Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Posted November 7, 2008 To install the rebuilt engine I need some new engine mounts. Which are recommended? I will need the back two and the single mount on the triangular front piece. Quote
