Hey Guys,

Thanks for the warning about the bell housing. I'll definitely keep the hoist attached and take more load off of the bell housing. I knew the engine wasn't a '35 but I didn't know exactly what year it was. The steering gear being different is intriguing, my dad said my grandpa had to do some kind of mod to get rid of a lot of play in the steering.

Got any 'before' pictures of the oil pan? Any estimate of the volume of the gunk that was in the pan, 1/2 cup, etc? (Collecting data on the theory that solids in the pan and other places are one of the reasons people say 5qts of oil makes their dipsticks read high.)

Yes, here are some before photos of the pan. Note: all the stuff you see in the pan is solid, but i'm not sure of the amount of junk. I'm sure it would skew oil readings though.

Also, have a question. How do I go about removing the oil pump?
