Finally finished up reinstalling the new knuckle. Next on the punch card are the brake lines. Also disassembled the tie rods and have the components soaking in my parts cleaner (diesel in a bucket).

Waiting on tie rod parts, so I starting restoring the drive / propeller shafts. First the slip yokes. Have NOS universal bearings and replacement shaft seals waiting to be installed.

Feels good to be assembling and installing rather than disassembling, cleaning and repairing. Bell housing stripped and repainted. Front brake lines installed. Tie rods assembled and loosely installed but not adjusted. Master cylinder refurbished and installed with heat shield. Brake and clutch pedal arms installed. Transmission shield, cross member, and mounts properly secured.
