Enjoy your new project, keep it simple and refurbish original parts whenever you can and you will have a lot of fun and learn a lot.
Yea my uncle forgets his own information a lot so I take it all with a grain of salt. He did say the rear end is 4.11 which I am not even sure is a real gear, but I am not sure how to tell.
