This is coming from another old (56) short guy 5'2"with a 82 XC,,,, Front end.... (option#1) drop in top off spacers. (option#2) track down a set of WR forks or WR lower spindles. Rear end .... (option#1) shorter shocks, approx 16.5" eye to eye. (option#2) Spacers added to the Ohlins and a WR rear swing arm. With the above done you'll be in the range of 36" free standing seat hight..... Now once that's done and you've meticulously gone back though you Swedish jewel, bearing greased, wheels trued, cables lubed, clutch adjusted etc, etc,,,,, Set the thing back up on the stand and go buy a new Beta 300 XT, save the Husky for when your waxing nostalgia or the local vintage racing comes to town
