By 1980 Chrysler had a better handle on the rust but 76 and 77 you could wash the damn things and watch the rust blisters appear.

The Fbody rusted so fast that they came with their own salt shakers. They rusted every where, I’ve always been surprised by where you find the rust.

Army jacket I’m thinking VFW might know someone in need otherwise advertise it it’s a collectible someone will pay up for it and the leather ones also.

The largest optional battery for a fully loaded 360 will work just fine for a 440 and recommend using a starter off of 1990 Dodge Dakota V6 on your big block… A battery tender will do wonders for battery life. One more thing buy a decent quality battery, I’ve very good luck with NAPA batteries.
