Front fender off for repairs
Transmission, third member on the floor
After getting the engine running, we determined that the clutch needs attention. Pulled the third member, transmission, and clutch assembly. I have a spare engine and trans, 4 spd., and will install the clutch and trans off that into the truck soon.
It is ALIVE! Got the engine running yesterday - and it sounds wonderful! The camera distorted the sound - it really does sound like a sewing machine in person!
