Body with Hood and Grill Removed   November 1996: The hood, bumper, and grill (with radiator) were removed. The only real problem encountered was where a previous owner had brazed the top fender to grill seam. This was removed by using a hacksaw to cut a groove in the brazing. A cold chisel was then used to split the weakened seam.  
 
    April 12, 1997:Removed the bed. I left the rear fenders attached to the bed because the attaching bolts/nuts were frozen and I wanted to salvage the bolts if possible. The bolts have an extra large head and availability for new ones is low.  
 
    May 13, 1997:The rear fenders were removed from the bed. This took a while due to attempting to salvage the attaching bolts. The effort paid off. Most of the nuts were cut off of the bolts using a cut-off wheel on an old Dremel tool that I've had for years. It was slow going but worth it.
