Stripping the truck

I took advantage of some vacation time and picked up a engine hoist. I unbolted all accessories that were associated with the ICE and unbolted the engine from the transmission. After checking that all hoses and wiring were disconnected the engine was hoisted from the truck.
I continued to remove all fuel system parts, exhaust, cooling and air conditioning systems.
I also removed the power steering unit and replaced it with a manual steering unit.
When the front shocks were removed, both the lower bolts broke off, another problem to deal with.
I found that the adapter plate I had purchased on Ebay is for another style bellhousing, many bolt holes didn't line up. I did find that the locating dowels centered the plate hole on the transmission, so I may be able to adapt it to this application.
While everything was apart I measured the shafts of the transmission and motor so I could start to build the motor to transmission adapter. I cut the center out of the old clutch to weld to the adapter.

I look at the growing pile of scrap and am amazed how many components are needed for the ICE system.
