Here is how I solved the stupid issue of those CV bolts, since I could not find a proper triple square driver. I did manage to get 8 of the bolts out, but had to resort to drastic measures to get about 4 out.



I used up a few drivers, and later bolts that I welded to the nuts in order to get them off.

I'll leave the outer CV bolts for when I get the triple square socket.. then I'll replace all the bolts with allen heads or something.

Got the transmission out today.





Gonna finish cleaning up the frame and paint it.. replace the shock, and lower it a spline.

Nice ... how readily available are the parts for a vehicle like that?
Since you picked this up i think i've seen at least 3 of them in yards/driveways and i always think of this build.

Extremely available and very cheap.

I mean.. I'm still spending a ton of money but its not that much. I order a bunch of parts from Cip1.com they've got everything you could need.

I've spent probably $2000 on parts though I would guess.
