It's been a while, but this evening got back a did a couple of very minor jobs just to feel good about making some progress. I had to put the 40 in storage for six months while moving. The upside was that after six months of sitting in a storage unit it started up on the third turn of the key which I was pretty pleased with.
When taking the 40 off the transport I noticed the parking brake wasn't up to holding the vehicles weight on a 15-20% grade, so that was fixed pretty quickly tonight. I had already cleaned up the drum and installed new pads when I had the engine out, but only roughly set up the new cable and tension.
The other quick job was installing the bench seat hook pardion found for me - thank you again!
Now the drivers seat can be locked in the upright position with something other than bailing wire the PO used.
Drawn up a new punch list and hope to start getting some things done...
