8.25 w/ 2/45:1 Woes and Confusion

PM Sent.
Thanks so much.
Off to the yard this morning. I will let you know how it goes.
Hoping to get this sorted soon so I can get on to the steering.
It is like herding cats down the road.
Ordered the Loaded Brake booster w/ master cylinder last night.
Also found a set of factory manuals for the body and chassis on Ebay for $15.
Got them coming so I can RTFM!!!
Please keep at least two of the wheels on the ground!
