After getting everything cleaned up, I spent some time evaluating the under hood stuff as to what needed attention. The engine itself is solid but most of the stuff around it needed attention.
-Hydroboost unit leaking
-Steering box leaking
-Power steering pump squalls even when full of fluid. Suspect the two leaks above caused it to be run dry too many times.
-Radiator leaks
-Water pump wobbles and is nosiy
-Hoses are oil soaked and swollen
-Wiring harness needs a lot of attention. Lots of bare wires, messed up connectors, missing looming
-Battery cables junk. Nice big new battery but it doesn't fit the battery box properly
I combined the leaky power steering box, leaky hydroboost unit and noisy PS pump into one big project since it's all one connected system. The plan is to reseal the steering box input shaft and pitman shaft seals and replace the p/s pump and hydroboost unit with rebuilt ones from Rock Auto.
