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

Re: '51 M37 Build
Anyone know the clutch linkage disconnects? It's a tad hard for me to see.

Re: '51 M37 Build
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.

Re: '51 M37 Build
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.
