Looks like you're moving forward in multiple directions. I do the same but can't seem to finish anything.

The diff inspection cover studs are showing available btw: 90116-10107 (10)
As are the carrier studs: 90116-10103 (8) and 90116-10104 (2)

No plans to cut it up, I've poached the tailgate and front inner fender. Front outter fenders may go, but I have all those parts from the other one. Honestly I would feel better about giving it to someone on this thread to keep it alive. I'll keep you posted, I seem to remember you are on the wrong coast though.

Nice work, looks like you are moving fast. I can't seem get more than one small item tackled at time. Great find on that winch too!

I've been saving up pictures for a year, so maybe it seems fast but I'm ready to get this thing moving! With one kid in college and two doing high school rodeo my time disappears faster than I want. Oh yeah, work gets in the way too.
 
No problem. Those are for the rear housing. The front housing uses the same parts and quantity for the diff housing:

43600ABOLT, STUD (FOR FRONT AXLE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER SETTING)
90116-10103L=37, S=12 & 25, L=37, S=12&258
90116-10104L=50, S=12 & 18, L=50, S=12&182
 
Everyone has opinions on locking differentials so I might as well add mine to the mix. I'm a selectable guy so no Detroit, or Lock-Rite or whatever for me. I would probably look at the Harrop e-locker if I wanted to lock my rear diff.

In for a penny in for a pound, found a 72 parts rig a few hours away. My 16 yo son at the time drove me and the flatbed over to the west side through I5 traffic and got this home in a day. It has 5 factory rims, a disc brake front axel, the whole rig was full of 4x, 5x,and 6x parts, and most importantly it has the tailgate handle. From what I have read what I paid for the parts car would have been equal to the rear handle. The guy who sold it to me is a LC guy through and through. Used to race 40s in some fashion and has a show quality 45 in his shop. That was a fun tour.

After charging the battery checking the oil etc, we got the 73 running. Blew out a mouse Hilton from the exhaust upon start, drove it a mile or so to pave spun around and made it home, that was about all she had. Sputtering pretty bad. Ran a compression test.

Pulled the valve cover.

Head to the machine shop. I'm lucky to have a legend of a machinist here in town. When I did my 40 I found him, and he has owned several himself. This guy is amazing.

Every seal on this thing was wet, so it was an easy call at this point to yard the rest out, patch it closed with gaskets and see how far she goes.

What is up with that exhaust valve on #6?

Machine shop redid all valves and springs. When I popped off the lifter cover the corresponding lifter was more resistant to movement than the rest. I bought one off maybe Rock Auto, and tried it in, and it slid freely. My thought was it got too much heat back there? Machinist thought that was a good plan. I'll let you know when it fires back up.
 
man there really is two kinds of people lol watchin all this fancy POR and rebuild everything. meanwhile I got that Ace hardware rust stop spray paint and paintin over mud and whatnot lol
