I suppose I should chronicle the trip out to Idaho here, but for now I don't feel like it.

Today I removed all the springs off the frame while it is still on top of the Burb, to lighten it and make it easier to get down this week. The frame came from southern Commiefornia and is very rust free, all the spring bolts came out easy, which was a surprise. None of them were seized to the bushing sleeves.
The frame swap will start soon, especially since the engine isn't making any oil pressure. I wanted to get the Camaro driving, but for now I am just going to push it into the swamp and let nature reclaim it I need the spot for the truck. I need to turn the truck around so I can pull the engine out of the truck and put it in the Burb after the frame swap. This will be temporary, so the Burb doesn't trap the garage, or driveway, while I take the Dodge apart. I want to be able to move and drive the Suburban in the mean time.

Feels good getting projects completed and parts out of the way.
