More progress...
  • New rag joint installed and power steering box re-mounted. Steering rod & wheel secured (PO had installed the bracket holding the rod backwards. sheesh).
  • Got the rear axles and the rear diff cover on. Just need to put some diff oil in (what weight do people recommend for a daily driver?)
  • Bull came over with his portable welder and gave me a quick lesson on how to weld. *I* then welded a nut onto my battery tray bracket that I had ground off due to a broken bolt. Fun stuff. I gotta get some schooling on welding.
  • Pulled the birf joints apart so I can re-pack the bearings. Like an idiot I didn't realize there were snap clips holding them together. It took Bull's intellect to point this out. We ended up breaking the inner C clips..new ones on order.
