Took me 3 hours to get the front and rear glass out using the tools I bought last night. Nerve-racking and physically demanding work.

Replaced the idler arm and Pitman arm and cleaned/checked the rest of the steering.
Installed the new 3500 stall converter and installed the engine and transmission.
