Day 2 of Project S10

Welcome to Day 2
Our number one priority was to get the cab off the truck for this day. Some may say that we were biting off more than we could chew and we would say that they were right.


photos below were taken by my roommate Dave (blue shirt)

as you can see we got the inner fender off of one side and the outer off the other side. I also got two of the cab mounts off and found out that we needed to take the other off with the grinder. but to our dismay we didn't have a cable long enough to reach over to the truck

With Dave driving the truck and me pulling with the 4-wheeler we were able to get it over to the garage. only after the fact did we find out that the reason we could not push it was because the trucks hood was in the way of the tire and is now of no use.

after another hour and a half we were able to find that only two of the three cab mounts were holding anything. Dave was able to get everything disconnected from the firewall of the cab and i started to work on the inside again. we were able to get the dash out of the cab and locate the computer that runs every thing just in case the new cab didn't have one. at the end of the day we were not able to get the cab off of the truck but we are very close now. all that's left is the steering wheel and we will be able to take the cab off.

Tune in next week for some more info on Project S10
