Thank you, I am very proud of myself as it was very dirty and the stuff was literally caked on there.

Actually I will do the clutch linkage next, fork and the bellcrank ie Z-bar, as I work my way back from the front of the truck to the rear in reassembly. Then the transmission and drive shaft last.

I believe the bell housing was originally Chevy orange (not a fan) I kinda like it natural aluminum, but some sort of clear coat wouldn't hurt, any advice on what to use?

Would love to rub some gray POR15 on the transmission eventually but am low on funds.

The drive shaft is getting a semi-gloss black POR15 treatment since I have some left over from when I painted the frame rails.
