Good looking out, but I just installed one! I also installed Power Steering....

Other update:
Brakes are bled. I have a leaking rear seal that needs to be addressed. I'm going to tear it all back apart and redo it. Once the rear end isn't leaking I will tune the motor and go for a drive!

Rebuilt and Installed. I had to modify the internal rubber gasket to make it work. It was too thick and had to be filed down. It's still a little tight, but I'm not going to mess with it anymore. It works and doesn't leak! I also cut the short brass tube shorter, so I would have more reserve.

I need a 2 prong wiper switch if anybody has one. I am going to use it to power the fog lamps. I'm going to remove the choke cable and mount it in that hole so it will look factory.

Air Conditioning is being installed!! Big thanks to Mikee and Erik for helping. I am still fitting the rear window. Its a PITA. Its a tight fit and the catch latches are a pain to get set up too. I'm almost done. One more evening......

Jason fixed the hinge mounting points on the engine lid and the treasure chest door. I had to use a different treasure door because the PO did a bunch of coat hanger welding/braising on the hinge mounts already, so it made more sense to repair the one in the pic. He did a great job for what I needed. Thanks Jason! I also installed the rear view mirror. It's about useless with the tiny rear window, but I have it none the less.

I am going to rebuild the doors after I get the Truck off the stands.
