Update #2
Got it out, all bolts were starting to break, I guess 20 ft pounds was to much for them. Gonna stop by the store in a day or two and get bolts and gaskets again. Maybe actually get coolant in it this time

Well my friends, got everything installed, it runs, AGAIN. but it started blowing a lot of steam out the front. We took a look and it turns out that the damage caused by the P.O. tweaked the radiator only noticed because we didn't have the fan or shroud on for leak testing purposes, again another thing is stopping progress.

It's always one thing after another lol. But slow and steady and you'll have it done.

She runs beautifully now, new radiator works well and starts in 3 seconds.
Winters kicking in here, and Christmas coming I can get it rolling under its own power by January.
Do any of you think that if the driveshaft u-joints in the front axle are shot we would still be able to turn the wheel or would it bind.
I'm considering posting a video of it, its loud and proud for sure.
Thanks for helping everyone, I'll stop complaining for a bit methinks.
