Tux Ptk4 - what to do now and next

[existentialhandyman]

Near jeep virgin. Dad had a 57 CJ5 but my wife spun a rod bearing and he sold it. A bit too small for me anyway. Wanted to replace it ever since he passed . So I did.
Bought the TP6a in Utah and it really looks like it has never seen a salted road.
I put her in the guest house for the winter just to protect till I get the underbody and floor sealed.
Mostly stock from what I have gathered over the last 8 months but the po's did some cheeep grades. Mirrors, pass side gas tank, interesting saginaw PS - above the frame and leaks like a bugger,boxed a bit of the frame, a couple gages, and whacked the dash for a radio. The wiring all works but looks to be kind of a mess.
Still don't know how to correctly ID axles, tranny, and Transfer Case .
Big question for this thread is one of Stock vs Mods.
Is there really a big issue in overall value for complete stock vehicles.
Afterall she ain't a Pierce Arrow or a REO, eh?

A 66 will have a D27 up front and a Dana 44 in the rear, it is a T-18 Transfer Case and a T-86 tranny. Check that tranny because if it is stock you want to replace it with a T-14 , almost a bolt in mod. The T-86 is a very weak tranny.
If the serial number checks out and that is a tux park then keep it as stock as you can. Yes it is growing in value. Fix the Saginaw system and find a dash.
My sixer has a 4 inch lift and that is all, I keep it stock, where as my 67 5 which is not anything special has mods up the yang yang.
