i took out the transmission, rear diff/axels, and drive line. took out the rear stuff because i want to do the under side of this too when i get it painted which might start this weekend since it got moved into a pole barn.

Great Job Kiddo, nice place to work, when I was Sixteen I laid in three inches of water during December to do a Tranny swap in a 64 Ranchero. I have thgree Brat Bodies and one rusty one cut up. I have enough to make one Cherry Brat with sanding and painting, one beater and one to customize. If the World keeps going my customized one will look like a mini El Camino with a pointed 69 Camaro nose.

 

Keep up the good work.

Pulled a 5 speed d/r saturday then steam power washed it. Has either 220k or 222k on it can't remember but it has been resealed at one point. Since it has black rtv sealer on it and the rear shaft has a new gasket

Got a y-pipe for it.

10614135_499294410205702_420751288060241Redid the steering linkage. Doesn't bind and turn easily by hand or with the wheel since the ball joints aren't hooked up.
