My small project turned big!

I set out a couple weeks ago to in install an Old Air Products A/C in my 71 Cheyenne. Everything was going well, removed the entire stock Heating and A/C system. When I went to remove the condenser an dryer I noticed that the radiator core support and the inner fender were completely ate away under the battery. So I removed the inner fender and rad core support to replace them. Well, I figured since I had it tore down that far that I would replace the water pump and the fuel pump since they were right there. I removed the water pump and noticed the timing cover gasket was leaking so I dropped the oil pan and removed the timing cover. Am I ever glad I did that! The sprocket on the cam had nylon teeth, 2 were gone and the nylon had cracks all over the place! The chain was also shot. Also decided to upgrade the alternator to an internal reg and upgrade the headlight harness. I don't think I can find anymore surprises because there isn't much left to be removed!
