I finally got it down to the bare frame!

I removed the engine and realized that the front motor mount needed to be replaced.  Had to remove steering shaft before removing engine.

almost there!  Just have to remove the front suspension.

I tore apart the rear axle. Pressure washed and scraped the housing. (So much grease and dirt caked on.) Replaced the axle seals and the pinion seal.

New axle seals

I put it all back together, sanded and painted it.

cleaned and painted the backing plate and installed new shoes and slave cylinders.

I took apart the leaf springs one side at a time. Removed the rust.

painted each leaf separately. I painted the drive shaft while I was at it.

and put it all back together with new rubber pads and hardware.
