Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY

So here is the short term plan, I am going to keep it drivable so we can continue to enjoy it throughout the summer and then save some of the bigger items for winter projects. My immediate to-do list is a follows:

Bleed the brakes
Adjust/tighten up steering to eliminate slop
Check all lights
Fix turn signals (may need new switch)
Fix RR brake light (hopefully just a bad ground)
Replace starter
Replace battery
Remove original carpet
Thoroughly clean interior
Change out wheels for 15x8 steelies and dog dish caps (Use same tires)
Remove aftermarket radio and explore options (dash is supposedly cut out)
Fix broken temperature gauge
Fix broken fuel gauge (likely sending unit, gauge did move when full)
Pull out dash cluster, repaint needles, clean and re-install
Fix rear hatch and tailgate hardware/latching mechanism
Find original NP205 shift knob
Find new 71-72 style gas pedal pad (arm is still in place)
Install new rear bumper license plate frame holder
Do a once over of engine bay wiring/hoses/organization
Do a once over of under-dash wiring harness condition
Neutralize rust in kick panels
Neutralize rust in rear quarter panels
