The truck looks to be fairly complete.

Looks like your truck was growing!

That first set of photos is pretty wild. I look forward to more, with less lichen and moss of course :).

Anyone know the clutch linkage disconnects? It's a tad hard for me to see.

You can pull the cotter pins out of the pivot pins and drop that part out rather easily. The part has two "Y" shaped yokes on it.

With the PTO attachment there is very little access to disconnect the clutch linkage inside the frame rail. I'll likely pull the whole clutch/brake pedal shaft assembly from the outside of the frame rail after disconnecting what I can from the other side.
