Been a while since I had any progress on this but I sold some stuff and found a decent Saginaw 4 speed with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter on it for a couple hundred so out comes that th400 and in goes the Manual trans. It does not look too good from the outside but the inside looks great, And I already have everything else to install it.
Also learned how to change my own tires so I put some new rubber on the rear.
Bought new weld on spring perches for the rear but don't want to weld them up til I mock it up with the body on the frame with the right stance I am looking for.
I know, I know, it never happened unless there are some pics to prove it.
They are coming.
