I took the bed off, the hood off, the front valence, grill, front grill support, radiator and a bunch of other stuff. All this with the goal of replacing some key engine components.
This is what I started with.

This is where I'm at right now

Here you can see the rats nest of wiring that I'm going to be replacing and rerouting to make much more visually appealing.

Here is a shot of some anti-freeze that had leaked onto the block, this I found was only the result of a clamp that wasn't as tight as it should have been. I was kind disconcerting to start off with though!

Here is another shot of the engine bay.



Not all is good with the truck though, there are a couple of spots that a previous bondo job went bad


Here is also a picture of a rotted cab support.

I need new headers, here you can see the exhaust manifold has begun to crack, its only at the flange right now, but its not a good thing at all.

Finally, here is a picture of the kinda goofy weld job that some exhaust guy did on the pipes.

Not all is bad news though, here are some new parts that are going to go in the engine!





Let me know what you guys think of how its going!
