I got it off trailer today, took trailer back to my buddy and then had errands to run with wifey-poo...
So didnt get to spend much time on it today.
Pulled radiator, electric fan and tranny cooler out so I could rotate motor with socket.
It turned easy. I rotated it around 3 complete times by hand. Going to throw a battery and fresh gas in tomorrow and see if it'll fire.
Gotta take ignition out first because kid didnt leave key in it and I didnt realize it.
I found a set of nice patina'd swb running boards and aprons local, so I may grab them, just in case I decide to shorten it.
Need to find bedsides.
And if I go to hassle of shortening, I may scrap out that disc rearend and leaf springs and go trailing arm.
I wish I would have done trailing arms under the 53 baresteel burb I built.
And after seeing what Leevon did, I'm leaning that way.
