Bumpers
One bumper from the vehicle needs some welds cut off and one from the salvage yard needs some straightening from a local machine shop. Both will be powder coated a light grey.

Paint
Paint Color The original was 6282-21 Dark Metallic Blue. Since the formula for this doesn't exist anywhere a reasonable guess or just selecting a modern replacement color were the options. Here is a picture of the original with Subaru Geyser Blue UAT, Toyota Cavalry Blue, and 2 of the closest swatches from a deck the painter had available. I chose Toyota Cavalry because its close to the original, its available (for repairs) it looks good and the 2 metallic swatches were way to metallic for my tastes.
Clutch
The arm on the clutch master cylinder fell off when we tried to pump it and its bent. So a new one came from IH Parts America and its going in. An extension rod is needed. Push rod extension, reusing the old one with a 5/8" bolt retainer. Ihpartsamerica.com saved the day again by sending me this link to a clutch push rod on ebay at scouterI https://classicscoutparts.com/ Thanks to Lou and Diane Rochin again, the push rode went in easy and after a bit of bleeding and rusty fluid flowing out, the clutch started working after who knows how long, maybe 10 years sitting in the Lolo campground.
