Not as far as I wanted to be by today, but the rear end is back in. I am waiting for my replacement rear stabilizer bar to come it to replace the one that is cracked in two places. Pics below.
On a good note that gives me some reassurance, I took the starter and Generator into the local shop to have them tested after the rebuild. The guy said he has been in business over 50 years and he has never seen such a good self rebuild. They set it beside theirs and said, looks like it came off their bench. its great to hear you did something right.
I got new tags for starter, generator, and distributor to complete the job.
Finish pressing in the front arm bushings tomorrow and cleaning and painting the long torsion bars so I can slide them in and get the arms in. I should see my 8 new bearings for the load arms tomorrow. 72 today, Rain tomorrow, and talking snow by Friday, I think I will be slowing down soon.
