Re: 72 SWB STEP "Army truck" Budget Build

Still need to do the following before I can get the truck started:

Time engine and install dist
Install new spark plugs
Run new plug wires
(Possibly) rebuild the Q-Jet carb
Install A/C brackets so that I can get the exhaust manifold gaskets in place and the manifolds tioghtened down


Things to do before I can get it moving under its' own power:
Locate a longer TV cable for 700r4
Devise a mounting bracket for TV and throttle cables
Install rear trans mount
Locate the shift finger (?) that mounts to trans for shift linkage
(Possibly) drill holes for trans cross member (700r4 trans
I believe I am going to have to get a new driveshaft, as I don't believe the stock one from when it had a TH350 is going to work

Things to do to get it driveable:
Bleed brakes, possibly (likely) rebuild brakes completely
Buy new tires
