Project Plain Jane
Organ donor. Rusted rotten 5? speed small block Ford
Great. 16 seized lugnuts. I had to take all of them off with my 1/2 ratchet and a 4 ft cheater bar (pipe) on the ratchet.
Dana 60!
One hour later the tires are off..groan. At this point I took a water break.
One side sitting on the ground. At this point I realised there was no way I was getting this thing out because the leafs hung too low. I ended up using my 4 ft pipe,and levered/skidded it to the rear of the Ford,where it was easier to clear the springs. The dana caught on something anyway while I was dragging it out ,and the truck fell on the dana so I had to jack it back up and reblock it.Sigh...
I told my wife I hooked up with Dana last night,lol! No frigging way would I even attempt to muscle this sucker.
What a drag.....O.K that was bad,but at least I found a good use for a G.M.C!
Hey who stole my Dana?!!!
You didn't think I was gonna lift it did you?
Pretty bushed at this point,so hands were shaking.result was a blurry pic. Nother water break.
I backed up under it,then used my cheater bar to lever/skid again. Loaded up in the dark,and went home...
