Well, it's been a while since I last reported in... first I'll back up to the transmission. Kept staring at it on the engine right in front of me every time I sat down. Decided I would put in new bearings while it was down. Funny how things work... found a synchronizer broken in 3 pieces! Had a spare drum and installed it. Think I'll get a new set and fix the bad one.
Put in a new gas tank and lines... counted 12 pinholes in the top two inches of the old one! Now I remember having to not fill the tank all the way!
While waiting for parts the new brakes were installed, plumbed to the cylinders and gravity bled while I put on brake shoes. Didn't take too long or too many refills of the master cylinder until the front left cyl was flowing. Closed that bleeder and a few minutes later the left rear was flowing. Then the right rear, then the right front and they were bled with excellent pedal. Took a while to chase down all the leaks but finally did. Took no time at all for a final bleed.
Took the old glove box off and found the licence tag receipt for the tags that are still on the truck... 1989.
