Is there a TM that includes body removal?
So far my observations are, remove all the hoses from the power steering/brake booster and fan control, unbolt master cylinder so it will stay with the chassis, unbolt all the cables from the starter, remove the stack mounts for the front harness and unhook the horn so the harness can stay with the body, 6 body mounts, unhook both shifter rods at shifter, remove park brake cables from calipers and supports so the cables can stay with body, Speedo cable, throttle cable,
Remove engine harness from EESS, It looks like the fuel tank needs to be removed, not sure why every picture I see of a chassis has the fuel tank in place when it is "hung" from the body? maybe it is easier just to let it "sit there" while the body is removed rather than completely removing it from underneath? I do see a large vent line that must be disconnected that goes from the rear of the tank through the body to the front of the tank, suction and return lines, fill pipe and vent line and of course the mounts, not sure yet about the fuel level wiring but pretty sure it goes with the body.
Oh yes the steering, have not figured that out yet other than just disconnecting it at the steering box.
