what "might as wells" should i do to it before installation. i know that it ran before a tree fell on the car body and the thing sat for 25 years before rescue as a parts car. i will clean up what i can, de-rust, paint, etc., but...seals? things to tighten, loosen, adjust, replace?

Oh, one more thing. This is a transmission issue but probably good to say. Pay attention to the axle U-joints. I first reused the screws and that was no good. The connections loosened and I almost lost the half-shafts. Using new screws and the proper washers are important. While I'm at it, I had no success in establishing good shift adjustment until after I replaced every bushing in the shift linkage.
