I called up some local dealerships this morning, but had to drive an hour to find the correct part. Bought three of them since it is a discontinued part now. It was still cheaper than buying the one from Summit Racing, and I got extras. Put everything back together and went for a test drive. I think I fixed all the leaks, but it was dark when I got back, and I was sad. Everything was going great until I heard a metallic smack. I pulled over and started looking underneath the rear of the truck. There's now a visible gap between the axle pads and trailing arms on both sides. Apparently my axle is trying to leave the truck...
Fix one thing and another breaks
My test drive consisted of stopping by Flashed's place and messing with the Quadrajet on his 79 square. I'm thinking the carb needs a rebuild, but I'm not sure. Time to do some more research lol
