There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

Neighbor drove the F150, recent engine/transmission swap truck, from Eugene, Oregon to Ridgefield, Wa. today and back. Said the truck ran smooth and never missed a beat and all fluids look good.

Your biggest thing, with it seems every GM Body on Frame, is if the body to frame bolts come loose. I think I remember that most of them are exposed, so that if they are frozen, its just a matter of cutting/torching them off. But I seem to remember that 2 of them are not fully exposed, and go to a internal position in the cab with caged nuts.

I could be misremembering thou.

Looks to have easily exposed bolts/nuts and this is a rust free state. No rust on this truck.

Does the front clip come off then the cab or the whole shebang at once?
