Well, I guess there's no A.I.R. pumps to hit.


Take Dave's advice.
Clean all that nasty cack off, and drive it a bit.
Do add gearlube if you are low though.

That's what I plan to do. And thank both of you for your help.

I should be on my way to getting this thing road worthy.

How many miles on this truck?
You may need a FMS.
They will run all over the crossmember and drip down.

A fresh 'straight up' timing set would probably do wonders in a 460 this old.
UPDATE

You were right ArdWrknTrk. It was mainly that old blowed out power steering pump. The front diff is leaking a little but since it's so easy to add gear oil I just plan to keep an eye on it through the winter.


I bought a timing set specifically to set the timing straight up. Though I ran out of time to do it before it got cold but I have it none the less. Along with a new Gates water pump. I will likely use them both when I rebuild it in the spring. Which I'm really looking forward to.
