At the risk of sounding like a broken record, chassis still not home, BUT will be blasted during this week and I will be going there on Saturday to reassemble the bits that will need to be in place prior to the making of the new crossmember for rear. That will be manufactured next week.
So, once again, I go on with other parts for now, including finally finishing the passenger side step assembly. This step tread not quite as good as driver side, and i'm not greatly impressed with the finished product, but there you have it!
This is the new fuel filter finished. Remember it will be hidden on inside of the chassis, with an original but non-functioning filter in place on the driver step assembly behind the battery. At least if anyone does see the new one, it will be in the right color.
I stumbled across another old booster I had forgotten I had, and found the exact part I was needing for securing the actuator piece. Yaaaay!
Also got the sector shaft seal out of the steering box and then got the thing painted. It's now awaiting new seal, bearing and shims/gaskets from MacsAuto. Those should arrive around mid week. Box will be reassembled this weekend, all going well.
Drag link is now finished also, requiring replacement of only one of the ball cups (and new grease nipples of course).
