Default How it should be done

Who needs OXY when you have a hacksaw and 5 spare blades. (I am cutting through 3/4 rod which is holding on the winch)...incidentally we used no gas in the interest of the environment. Lots of expletives made up for it though!

Note here I am wearing gloves. This softens the hammer blows to your thumb when you hit it (NOT) but it does prevent a lot of injuries to your hands.

Default Real Gone

Only a diff, Pintle, transfer case & wheels to go... Not a bad weekends effort. Thanks to Rusty for his help.

Twas the dang computer which would not let me upload all the pictures.

Sorry no pictures of my thumb. It is recovering well.

Default The Best Bit

Yes normally I insist on gas for Rusty Nuts but Ian truely is a fantastic cold chisel champ. In fact I reckon that we write letters to all the show societies around the country and have Rusty Nut Choppin as an event right along side the wood choppin.

You left the best bit out Ian this truck has a reco engine, data plate for the rebuild gives full details of all work undertaken.
