More details...
I had the rear rebuilt by H-body rear master, JD Race in Richfield, OH. He is about an hour from me which is great. The rear was rebuilt with a new posi carrier and 3.42 gears. I supplied the 28-spline S-10 axles and had Jim rebuilt all the brakes as well. Price was right at $1200 for everything.

Fuel tank. I mentioned in the previous post that I had four different tanks to choose from but the original out of the Formula was the best one. It was pretty clean inside and just had surface rust on the outside. I have an old school radiator shop literally across the street from me so I had them clean and line the tank for $150. I then painted the exterior with KBS Rust Seal paint.

I also installed all new brake lines, brake booster, and brake master. The brake lines and fuel lines were ordered from InLine Tubes out of Detroit. They are made to order and shipped inside of a week. The fit and finish was spot on and I would HIGHLY recommend their products. I ordered their brake line kit first and was so impressed with its fit that I ordered their 3/8 inch fuel line kit too. They make a return/vent line kit but its only 1/4 inch and I will need a 3/8 line for the Holley EFI system I plan to install.
The master is a stock replacement unit. I searched on and off for two-years before one popped up as available from O'Reilly's. They quickly became unavailable after I ordered mine. The master I found on eBay at some point but, again, these seem to have become unavailable too. The prop valve is out of my 76 Sunbird and it received a good cleaning and paint. All the brake parts were painted with Eastwood's Brake Gray paint which looks awesome and is (supposedly) resistant to brake fluid. The steering box is a refurbished unit off of RockAuto.
Oh....and the battery tray is out of a 68-72 Nova. It fit pretty well with some modification. I pounded the front flange straight and trimmed one ear then bolted it into place.
