Outstanding job guys! I am impressed you did it in one day. I figured at least two. But if anyone could pull it off, Geoff would be the guy. :)

Perhaps one of the most impressive feats of mehcanics I have ever seen. Good on ya!

I was quite delirious and my mind couldn't remember all the connections, hoses, bolts, etc possibly being back in place :)
My mind is always ready for something to be wrong and failure. Good thing you were there.

I've driven to the store with only the foot parking brake, but never with a floor jack as my front wheels.

it sure seems like this would have been a great opportunity to put a real motor in.

Geoff, I am seriously impressed. awesome job.

Lol. I ask him about a Titan V8 swap.

I have a trailer and truck for transport if you can find a way to winch it up on the trailer... maybe if we used TWO jacks we could have independent front suspension. ;-)

I'm in town until Wednesday afternoon. Hit me up if you need a moving service.

I vote that we put an Ox Yoke on Bob and have him tow it

Weld your jack stands to the frame, and bolt casters to the stands :)

Im in for that

Geoff and the driver were able to figure it out together. The driver was worried about scratching it up since the truck had only been a week on the road. Shrockworks departure angle and some boards worked out fine but he said if AAA had known the whole story they wouldn't have let him come out.



It's on its way to Lost Industries for the new suspension build! 8)
