We'll today I finally got around to pull the wiring harnes out have been at it all day got the whole harness labeled and pulled out plus all the instruments and dash centre all out and pulled the transmission tunnel off my god is it filthy under there

One question how do you pull the heater out it an 1984 model do I have to drain the engine coolant first or what

Least we had that bit of rain the other night Chappo. But I bet the fire is still out there waiting for our 40'c days.

 

[chappohj47]

It the wind you've got to worry about as it stires up the embers and reignites

 

[SOOT]

Hey Chappo, when I pulled mine out I disconnected the heater lines in the engine bay and pushed them and the firewall grommet into the cab. It think it was the easiest and cleanest way.

Thanks mate I will give that a go tommorro

 

[chappohj47]

I got busy today

Thanks guys I got it out. Turns out the rear diff has a air diff locker in it but there was also some bolt heads floating around in there so it will need a rebuild when I can afford it in a couple of month.

The bolts were hex head bolts out of the end of the diff lock so I don't know what happened but at least I got a $1200 dollar freeby

 

[chappohj47]

The diff

We'll today I got my heater out thanks for the advice soot and I took the blower fan off the firewall and the external voltage regulator.

Then I cleaned some mud out off the chassis rails but there is still lots in there but it will have to wait until I get the cab and tray off so I can get to it easier

Chappo hope the crown and pinion are OK. Nice find having OME air locker

 

[chappohj47]

Had a bit if time the sarvo so I pulled everything I could see off the fire wall the hardest thing to undo was the pin out of the clutch pedal to the master cylinder hopefully I will get the cab off the chassis tomorrow

My new shed for the time being

 

[chappohj47]

We'll today I got the body off my ute it was a little tipsy with all he panels on but when it's painted I will put it on in parts so it's lighter

There is so much mud and stuff on everything

 

[chappohj47]

I lifted the body with my engine crane and pushed the chassis back under it

 

[chappohj47]

29 years of dirt and muck

at least it doesnt look like theres much in the way of rust
