94 B2300

In this corner, weighing in at over a ton......
errr

This poor truck has a seized camshaft and some other problems looking related to overheating and/or oil starvation. I don't really know the story.
I ordered a rebuilt engine today at the request of the owner.
It should be here sometime Thursday.

Sean and I are going to Iowa this weekend (fri-mon).

I hope to have this truck done early to mid next week.

This truck looks very similar to the 99 i was working on, but there are a lot of subtle differences, including different bolt sizes for the trans, and a different cross brace.
Anyway, i spent most of the day getting the engine ready to pull, and managed to get it pulled all the way out in time to stop for the day.

It's going to need several new parts which dont come on the replacement... bad/missing on this one, or can't/shouldn't be reused on a rebuilt engine.
The majority of external parts get reused though, so I have to spend some of tomorrow pulling off these old-to-be-reused parts.
