got some more time in on truck, pulled the gas tank and filter, and started cutting off old shock mounts, got drivers side off the transaxle, and half of the passengers side off before I had to call it quits for the day. I picked up a stick welder from Tractor supply that will work on my 110 volt power supply(will weld up to 3/8" thick steel), and hopefully do a better job on welding in frame plates and some lateral supports. Slowly getting there.
