Found a new project. Ram D250

Pulling off wiring and accessories. Radiator was full of mud. Started getting windy so I came inside. I need to unhook the trans lines, wiring, shift bracket, pull the drives driveshaft. Then push it in the shop and pull the motor/trans.

No updates other than I got the exhaust off and transmission drained. The weather is getting better so I will start working on it more. I still need to drop the driveshaft, roll it into the shop, and pull the motor.
 
Engine and transmission are out! I had a free day and decided today is the day. So I aired up the flat tire and used my little tow and push vehicle to push the truck in the garage. Wife was planting roses so I was solo.

Getting the engine out wasn't terrible, but there was some cussing. Got the engine mount bolts out, removed the trans mounts. I did find a few wires, cables and hoses still connected.

I had to modify my lift plate to fit the 2bbl tbi intake.

Pulling both trans and engine was sketchy but once I got it pulled high enough that the oil pan could slide over the radiator support I danced it out lol. I was standing on the back of the hoist and bouncing it back slowly until the tailshaft was free.

I think I am going to modify my engine hoist by welding up the pull arm in the long position and adding a longer arched strap on top.
 
I'm 99% sure I am going to gut the electronics and vacuum lines and run a carburetor intake.
