Not much to update today.
Got my breather, but had forgotten that the old stud was broken off in the carb, so I'll have to yank it one day this week and get that fixed.
Got the engine / trans ready to yank from the dent. Figuring on yanking them this coming Saturday if the weather's decent. Gonna hold off on swapping the columns till after I get the trans ready for install. Then I'll drop the column in with the swap.
Once the engine's out of the dent, I'll yank the front suspension and take it to work for rebuild and bead blasting.
Still looking for my brake booster, but I might have found a hydra on a Lincoln. If it's good, it'll live on the bump come time for the suspension swap.
Did manage to get the rear torn down and rebuilt (went ahead and did outer bearings and seals while I was there. I'll likely have to yank it back apart, cause sooner or later I'll run across an LSD for it.
Can't remember for the life of me what the length difference is gonna be from 3sp manual to c6, but I'll handle it when it comes.
Replaced the driver's door latch, and was about to yank the window regulator from the dent when I noticed it had been splatter welded in a couple places.
Dropped in the new distributor that was sitting around (points) for now. I had hoped to use the ds2 outta the dent, but the PO swapped it for a points type somewhere along the road.
I was going to cut the bed floor outta the dent and splice it in the bump, but I may just leave the dent body whole, drop a single I beam front under it and transplant a 200 six / c4 and keep it as a parts runner. [Yes, the 200s dinky, but I've dropped one in a 65 LWB in the past and have been looking for an excuse to do it again.] Who knows, I may and then I may part it down to a frame. The 73 could stand to have a cab.
Other than that, I spent my day on other projects since I'm going to be pulling the harness outta the dent sometime this week.
Got the 4wd back on the road (77 chevy that's supposedly traded for 2 more dents, but looks like he's backed out on me). Had to replace the fuel pump and since I'm getting rid of it (I fix chevys to sell or trade.... DERN if I'll keep one.

) I went ahead and put the 2brl intake and a 2brl roach on it. I think I have a better home for the 750 dual line. Also had to replace the inner fender wells so did that (agesco Taiwan reproduction parts are actually good fits, less the holes that were off by inches in places).
