It is a Locca locker in the rear and a power locker in the front.
Gonna have to do some cutting on the grill to fit the p/s box but shouldn't be too bad.

One should have been paid to take that off their hands. I'd be inclined to lift the radiator cap and just put a new rig under it.
I like working/tinkering with stuff. Just not my stuff.

Thanks, Dave. Got a little bit more mocked up. Radiator, passenger side headers.... My big issue is going to be getting the right hose combination, since I have an aftermarket radiator.

WTH just happened? I traded a rifle or two for a 1971 Jeep CJ5, just wanted to do just enough to make it drivable and use on my lease. Well all good deeds don't go unpunished! After beating off the mud daubers and rebuilding the carb, changing the engine oil, my father and I got it running, got to love the Buick V6! sactoller, way cool ride you've got going there for something you just wanted to use on the lease! Based on your first post you must have really needed some "punishing" If I was you I think I might have stopped after you and dad got it running. However, I'm glad you continued and decided to share the events with us. Thanks Geno PS way cool dog too!
