Transmission was in good order and simply cleaned and reinstalled. Differential is good, o rebuild needed. Full Brake replacement, ith drums refinished. New tires in original style. All suspension components replaced as needed, ncluding all spring pins, lamps in rear and bushings and wear components in front. F-3 had overload springs, did not re-install them, his truck will never carry one ton loads again.
