Thats really good that folks who know and are also willing to share that.

Not to change the topic, but paint is also my sticking point. So much so it delayed this from moving forward for a year after having the chassis and center tower blasted. Someone have me some naval epoxy primer and I brushed that onto the tower and it is rubbery and uneven and has to come back off at least on the outside.

Tomorrow I am talking to an automotive paint expert to get some options for paint that is durable and hard but not TOO expensive. Also dreading the filling of the pits but he may suggest some kind of filler primer. Bought a HF paint gun today to apply paint.

Not sure if I want to take the diff apart or just seal it and strip it and paint it.

I got a new clutch, steering box kit, and lots of other stuff. Engine seemed good the one time I ran it.

Also picked up a creeper which is very cool. IIRC, I decided to make a new driveshaft. Cant remember exactly why.

Still lacking an original style throttle cable. Not sure what else.

Yeah should be very satisfying if i can get it cleaned up and looking and running good!
