Just finished replacing the running boards and there was some body work to be done due to rust...go figure. I also added 1971 Texas plates. Also discovered why I wasn't getting any hot air through the vents. The hoses were'nt exactly connected. It should work MUCH better now.

Okay, a question. The transmission sounds like it might be low on fluid, but there is no leak. I get about 25 mph and it starts to whine a bit, then stops when I press on the clutch. Any ideas?

Could be a transmission problem, but most likely it is the throw-out bearing. Is it only in 2nd gear (or first)?

Wont hurt to check the fluid level. I would think it's a trany bearing.

If it stops when you depress the clutch, I'd say input bearing. Just my $0.02
