Moved the truck into place in the yard today. Removed the bumper and bed to begin the process of disassembly. The disassembly went pretty well. A couple of tight bolts but removal and tagging took less overall time than I expected. Never knew the beds were that easy to remove.
Examined the original damage done by the u-joint failure from the previous owner. It pretty much ripped a major tear into the gas tank. The muffler took some damage as well but not too bad.
The rear yoke was also damaged. It will need to be replaced.
Procured a replacement prop shaft complete with center support. I picked it up last Saturday and arranged for the possible yoke purchase if needed.
Total Time: 3 Hours
