Restoration update

I thought my rear main was leaking but after $8 at the car wash cleaning the bottom of the truck i wasnt sure. Tighened/replaced pan bolts,replaced valve cover gaskets,replaced all coolant hoses,replaced belt,fixed leaks at rad trans cooler lines where the dumb a%^ i had replace the radiator didnt use sealant on the adapters and the end result is a spot free driveway and no oil or anti freeze on my back window. Replaced all the tie rods with moog components, this made a huge difference just a little play maybe an inch in the steering wheel this may come out when i have it alinged but wont do that until the springs and shocks are replaced. Next week new springs shocks brakes and locking hubs. Its coming together now and should be ready to go to the paint shop over the Christmas holiday
