Windshield wipers working flawlessly. Which is a must. Power steering pump removed, have yet to remove the pulley. Replacing all belts while I'm at it.
Cowl put back on, new wiper motor installed, wiper arms and antenna back on. I adjusted the wipers a bit higher up on the windshield when in the fully down position to avoid so much snow and ice to settling on them. It actually looks like how they were supposed to be by looking at the path they take on the windshield. But that's not how they were before. They were too low.
PS pump removed. It wasn't too hard. The lines are a different story... I need to buy a new set of line wrenches as my set doesn't go up to 5/8's. Here you can see how the old pump was just pissing PSF everywhere. The previous owner told me about the pump being shot and said he had to add PSF every time he drove it. Which was about once a week in the fall for 6 years and about 30 miles each drive. So everything on that side of the engine bay is covered in PSF and debris had been sticking to the fluid for years. So once I get this thing on the road again it's going to get inspected, to the DMV for tags, and then straight to the car wash. I have some real good degreaser to use on it. So good that it will eat the bottom out of an aluminum coke can in 15 minutes if not diluted down to 50/50.
Power Steering Pump. Pulley needs to be removed in order to get the bracket off. And I need to reuse the pulley as well on my new pump.

I had to replace the ignition switch, as it was goofy, the ignition lock cylinder and key because it was super fucked up and would do 360's, and the turn signal switch because it was bad as well as dickered from who ever spliced the turn signals and brake lights together.
But it wasn't that bad to do. The steering wheel just needed some time and pressure with a puller. The last person must have got in a hurry and kept cranking on the damn puller which ripped the threaded holes out that are built into the steering wheel designed for a steering wheel puller. Took 5 mins to pull it with some PB Blaster.

As it sits today. Awaiting the new turn signals lenses.
Parts I got at the junkyard. I got an '85 cluster from a 460 truck with the factory tach. Super nice score. About $300 on eBay. I got everything for $42.
My current cluster. Cracked cover and without factory tach.
Interior put back together.
DeeZee tool box I got give to me. Bolted down and ready to go.
