Made some progress today, mounted the other tailgate I had, salvaged what I could and removed the rusty bumper.
Also salvaged what I could use from the old frame, the 20 year old me would not want to see it cut up like this but time to move on.

I broke a few bolts and got one stuck in the socket, seeing if putting it in the fridge helps.

More progress, I am kicking myself, this pickup tube which the original I threw away, cost $164 to replace.

Alright oil pan reinstalled woot! I ran the hardware through my ultrasonic cleaner, not perfect but definitely cleaner.

Once I get it running I am going to see if seafoam helps clean up the top end. This engine hasn't ran in about 20 years.

Today's update, welp I wanted to get the 22RE running but I started to see the costs adding up to more than I would ever get back so I decided to sell it as is.
Now time to get back to the engine bay and prep for the V8!
