Get in, I'll drive

Been a good day, waiting on parts on the K member so I worked on the drivers door, replacing slides for the window, and plastic clips. All the interior parts of the window mechanism was so nasty so they got a bath in my vibratory cleaner.Tomorrow finish up drivers door. I got a call this evening that my pit man arm came in and when I get the motor mounts from @TONY I will put the motor on the k-member. So glad Tony is a member here, he has been a great help.

Working on the drivers door and crank assy. Got it all cleaned up and new bushings and rollers ordered. The actual crank assy was alittle tight , I guess this is normal for a 70 model. So I drilled a 1/64 hole in the top side when installed and took a grease attachment thats made to grease a 4x4  ,it is smooth now. Then put a dot of silicone to keep out the dust. K-member is done. All new bushings , tie-rod ends and pitman.

Long time coming, I got the Motor on the k-member, I bet it has been a long time since a motor was sitting there. My son came by today to help

Its looking good!  Always like to see Overhead Console cars coming back together!

Sorry to chime in so late, but @headejm, and @71GranCoupe steered you in the right direction with the heater valve.   Make sure you get a new cable as well; I didn't, and now I have replace it with everything in place. What a pain!  :bricks:

Here are my before (unrestored) and after:
