Ya I wish I had thought of that. The tranny hump was off and everything! It didn't take too long...it was way faster than the piece of crap pump I had.
piggy details
Been working on the minor items that need to be addressed on my 76 Aussie oinker. Yesterday I removed the hitch from under the rear bumper- it was a perfect fit on the frame rails and well designed. I don't plan to haul anything with the pig, though, so off it came for a cleaner look.
Also got underneath the truck and heavily oiled the spare tire mechanism. Got it freed up and dropped the spare on the floor. It's one heavy SOB- a tube tire on a steel 16" split rim! Replaced it with a 33 x 10.50 spare that just fit up between the spring shackles. Getting the 33" spare out of the cargo area opens the back of the piggy big time.
Meanwhile my orange and white 78 has been relegated to pasture for now. I've been wheeling a 40 this eyar and the ultimate disposition of the old 55 is yet to be determined. Might just resurrect her for the pig run in August. She's still licensed and inspected although I'd need to renew the insurance coverage to drive her legally. Gary S

Gary, Cool to know a 33 will fit in btwn the frame rails - would you post a pic of how your exhaust runs?
My current exhaust is blocking the spare tire location...

Replaced a rotten fuel line that started leaking while it was idling this morning.
Doors are primed. I need to wetsand, then rattle can a topcoat. I need to decide which rustoleum blue to use...sail blue or royal blue. Currently working on the roof rails, waiting for paint to dry, then I can weld in the patches.
pulled the gas tank, sanded it, gonna paint tomorrow
and Laguna, let me know what blue you use...and some pics as well....I gotta choose what blue I want to use.

I set the sprinkler under it to wash off 100# of mud.
Got the McLeod clutch in, its back to a daily driver.
I have to get the sun visors back up, before the wife divorces me

Pulled the motor and trans on the tow rig. The engine lift didn't want to move with a 6BT on it, so I had to employ the pig to help pull the lift back.
So, you had a Pig, towing an engine hoist, with a suspended 6BT swinging from it, and you didn't get a Pic?!?

I know, I take pictures of everything on my Pig!
Right. And it sounds perfect for a "Caption this pic" thread....
(Oh, No, officer...I just carry it as a spare...)
kinda. No pig in pic.
I was kinda scared to touch my phone while I was covered in diesel engine mung.
