Next up to address is the clutch.
It's slipping under moderate or heavy acceleration. The clutch disc is at least 20 years old. Currently I have the three-finger 3speed clutch with the 3-speed flywheel in front of my H42 4-speed. (Coincidentally period correct for my 1974 had it come with the 4-speed). There is a good enough local shop, that I'm probably going to throw money at the problem. The big question is do I update to the later clutch or just replace the old-style three finger.
That will be followed shortly by rear brakes.
The existing drum brakes need work. Like the front, if I am going to put a bunch of new parts in, I don't want manually adjusted brakes. Options: Rear disc kit with the GM components (likely easiest). Though I have seen a thread with @cruisermatt FJ60 rear drum conversion (would require sorting out the parking brake to enable the self adjusting). This one I can do in my driveway.
