Update for the last forever:
October 2018 we took on the starter, again,
Once we got tired of that nifty experience, we stole the brake booster out of the donor truck and put it into "Bernie". The master cylinder was useless, so we bought a new one (not pictured), that promptly rusted to match the rest of the booster.
We then cut and learned to flare the brake lines.
We did get some fine quality help from you all here on the forum in regards to the
fuel lines & such:
Finally, we were able to try and bleed the brakes, a nice thing to do in late October. My youngest "volunteered" to watch the reservoir for me, which worked well on the front brakes, but not so well on the back when I broke the bleeder screw off from the rust.
The weather was still nice, so I started to try and tear down the steering column the first part of November. I got this far, and then the weather became questionable.
