Now it sits on all 4 tires...
motor is ready to go in as well.(just have to set distributor)
So off top of my head.
motor in
Hang gas tank.
Is it ok to just use a set of straps wrapped around the frame to hang it? it was oringally held up by a skidplate, but it is rusted out beyond repair/reuse.
Steering...Crossover, haven't figure out how/when yet.
Driveshafts
shocks
put clip back on
wire clip/motor
get to fire/breakin.
20 min idle? then 20 at 2k?
Align body panels.
Now the pictures.
Edit...mom took these pictures today...didnt realize they were that small.

You could always replace the fuel tank skid plate:

Or if you get a little creative, you can do the same thing as this guy did and put a tank from a Suburban in where the spare tire went: http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=60698

Well big update, rear end is DONE. Got the driveshaft extended and while we were there had the shop set up the pinion pre-load.
Hung the gas tank, worked out nicely. Basically ran 2 straps both bolted to the frame and wrap around and tied into the body. Used metal straps with strips of the old insulator between them and the tank.
Motor is in, primed, and we started it tonight.
Uploaded the video, but I can't find the damn thing.
