I found a good donor for my 53. I picked up a 82 c10 with a low mileage rebuilt 350 and turbo 350. It’s going to be 5-6 months before I get to it...
An oscillating saw would be my tool of choice for removal. I would assume the perimeter frame has screws, nails, and some other fasteners the PO...

My first thought would be to check the oil pan isn’t dented from hauling, storage, whatever. I wouldn’t rip it apart and throw rings and bearings...

I don’t know which is worse, scraping undercoating while on your back of fixing rust. Looks like a very solid start you have there. What are the...
