Well here are a few pictures....Like I said a good part of my day was taken up with removing the carb, governor, intake and exhaust manifolds....BTW, can you reinstall just the carb? Or does the governor need to be on there as well? Didnt even think to look. For whatever reason, now the truck doesnt want to start, and I think maybe has something to do with the governor.
Pictures show a tiny bit of the grinding that I did, basically just grinding down some of the welds where the hitch was attached, PITA. Welds everywhere. Trying to remove all the welds without removing material off of the frame itself. Another picture shows the back of the cab painted, all thats left is the roof and passenger side door, and the entire inside (and the frame, and the axles). The other picture shows the crappy piece of metal that the old deck was bolted (and welded) to. I've decided Im going to remove it was well, even though its welded like crazy to the frame flanges, and bolted in behind the airtanks.
As mentioned earlier, Id love to swap in a 6.2 with a th400, but until than if anyone has any info about removing the governor that would be great, and to anyone that mentions it, I CANT use the search function, for whatever reason on my tablet everytime I hit the search button and get ready to type in the search field it closes it.
