FWIW, a little update. Took out all the old pieces out from under the car. Have forgotten how much "fun" it was removing all those old rusted parts. Pretty much nothing on this vehicle wanted to give it up. That's after spraying everything with liberal doses of PB Blaster!

With all the tools and equipment I have today. This was still a chore. Don't see HOW we did some of the things we did, 30-40 years ago. All I had back then were some hand tools and a couple big hammers. Had the advantage of youth, I reckon.

Good news is, only have to make a couple phone calls, order a few small parts. This can be a quick turn around, the old thing "could" be back on the ground by next weekend.
