Well, got the engine/trans out and pressure washed.
Also got some more stuff stripped out of the PU.
nicksgarage called while we were working and he is going to get more parts for me!

Also tried out a strange idea. I have a 70 Barracuda dash with a glue on pad in my parts. We measured then pulled off the dash pad cap and propped it up in the van. It would take some work and fabrication, but the width is right. I'd have to section some of the depth out to clear the wheel and tilt it so the gauges were visible, but a 'cuda dash in a van would sure turn heads! The steering column doesn't fall in the right place, and a new support would need building too.
Just a goofy idea, but maybe someone else would want to try it!
