Got at least one boot 👍. I think @andybudge has repos IIRC.
 
Continuing the gathering and cleaning of parts.
Scored another cluster to harvest some parts from.
I just noticed that the front&rear prop shafts appear to be the same lengths.

Did you take the stock bulb shades off of inside your cluster or are you running led bulbs? Looks nice and bright.
Hoods in place with the bulbs it was parked with in 1978.
 
Drained and opened the transfer to see what's to see.
Its getting revealed and cleaned a bit, but not going nuts on it.
Didn't have a socket for the output, so the parking brake drum hasn't been pulled yet.
Neutral isnt really neutral, seems like the detent isnt in the right spot. Going to have to break the fsm out and do some reading.

Looks like some fresh studs and a little grinder action will sort the e brake drum out.

Not sure why, because with no top it will seldom see rain, but broke down and bought one of the new wiper motor kits just to check it out.
