All back together. Couldn't find a gasket for the rear diff locally so I just used gray rtv/gasket maker. Pb blaster and then wd40 made my hood hinges work like new so that's good news.
Oh, and found my Trans leak
Left for this fall:
Wire in horns
Lowering springs in the front
Fix my gas gauge. Just showing empty so looks like I lost a ground somewhere.
Put new hood on and fix the surface rust
Paint my wheels. Probably black, but debated gold since the truck will be red. They'll eventually be 17s so this is just to figure out what color I want my D windows to be.
