You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

I got her running today and found a blown head gasket, looks like it's been that way awhile. The head is soaking in the parts washer overnight and the block and piston are already cleaned up. More tomorrow. 
Tires came in this morning. She's gonna be little monster lol, ags all around and a stack.

The head is all cleaned up and milled, the rear end is draining. The left hub is off but the right is going to be tough, it soaked all night last night and will give it another try today. I also found some wire holding the right tie rod end on lol.

Well... I'm not sure if I have too much impact and air, or if the hub is too stuck. 
This is only the 2nd hub ever that has destroyed my 8 grade puller bolt so I guess I should be happy...

I win.
The puller has been upgraded to a 1" 8 grade bolt. The extra day of soaking and getting out my old coveted metal can of KD Knocker Loose fluid last night may have helped too.
I am still reeling from the $10 bolt though lol. :rolling
