New carrier bearing and bearing cushion installed
Replaced all three u joints. Put it on jackstands are ran it to 50 mph. Vibration is significantly reduced, but not al the way gone. Suspect the slip joint. Good enough for now.

Rewired firewall forward. Much better/
Rebuilt master cylinder and bled brakes.
Waiting for the roads to clear of snow for a test drive.

Next. Off to the Portland swap meet in April in hopes to find at least one rear brake drum. Maybe even a metal frame for flat bed rebuilt.....hey, a guy has to dream, right?

Next winter...remove rear springs and have worn main springs rebuilt and new spring perch bushings installed. Fix leaky rear diff while it's down for the winter

EDIT. New battery tray installed.

This is fun.
