Can't believe I did this

Victory! Put straps around front axle ran them out under the bumper, picked it up ever so easy with a Case 580K backhoe, friend tugged on the back side with another truck. Bled fuel system and it started right up! So that's where the oil came from!

Thanks again for the advice!

good to hear man!

 

Ya know,  I was thinking back  about  some of the hard landings  I've been through over the years..      Check your battery holdowns!     Those  dudes  can be  the most overworked   device...     especially   when  corroded  halfway through.      Having  a  battery  hanging/shorting out against something  causing a fire  isn't cool..

 

I've had  gassers    smack  pretty hard   which   jarred  battery cable loose...  which   killed the motor..

Hey Santan,

 

How did your truck survive this? Any problems?
