Slow progress continues. Took a fall/winter break for hunting season in Arkansas. Engine is clean and painted. Installed a rear main seal and new pilot bearing. Will be putting in a new oil pan gasket and the motor will be ready to mate to the trans/xfer.

Rebuilt 3spd case

Motor is in. Thanks to all the club guys that came over on a week night to help wrestle it into place. Once it was in, I was able to stand back and think about all the work still left to be done before I can start it up.

This weekend I made some progress on getting things plumbed and bolted back into place. I've been cleaning and painting a lot of parts.

Anyone know a way to pull the rest of the 3 on the tree shifter without cutting it or hacking it up? Talking about the rod that's connected to the steering box and runs up through the firewall.
