Working on my wife's 73. Got a laundry list of stuff to do.
Removed the transfer case and trans. The seal between the 2 leaked a fair bit and the trans shifting pattern was backwards. It is a car trans. Case fed. The linkage was all screwed up and the shift arm is incorrect. I'm going to have to tear the trans all apart and replace some stuff, or source an EB trans. Not sure yet.
As well, the rear u-joint on the rear driveshaft was about to self destruct. Half of the needle bearings were gone and the other half were broken. Good thing I caught it now.
