So last week I got a great deal on a 97, 4.0 4wd single cab. Now the old man had a clutch master cylinder problem and a Crack in the frame by the cab mount. So I figured I could fix the crack no problem. Little did I know I got beat. So I put the truck on the road, waited till 2 am and drove it the 27 miles to my house, sweet talking it into gears and when I had to stop, get out push and turn the key with it in second. (I know I am terrible to my truck.) Got it home and started the tear down.


Took the cap and bed liners out.




And I started to tear into it.






Then I found the rot....this is the bed by the cab.




Got the bed off. . . .


This is the crack I could see.


Then the shock....




So I have been tearing down.













Took the Lund visor off




My clutch problems....




Tear down was pissing my off to no end and started throwing tools so I cooled down by doing some thing positive.




And this is where I am at. More to come.
