[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 781639, member: 15947"] Ok... an update, things are getting closer and closer to being driveable, but not quite yet. I set the gears up today in the front housing, and threw a coat of paint on and put it back under the rig and assembled the front axle. Everything's done up front except the brakelines... my stock hard lines are rusted and the corners just rounded off on the fittings, so I'm probably going to just re-do all the brakelines. Also, I'm going to have to run spacers up front or get wheels with less backspacing because there won't be room for the drag link end on the pass side. Oh well. Also, it's too tall. I think I'm going to ditch the goofy long shackles the rig came with... anybody got a set of stockers they want to trade for? So, the things left to do to get it on the road are to swap out the transmission and install the fixed yoke it, have the new rear driveline shortened to fit, final weld the spring perches on the rear and mount up the u-bolts and some rear shocks, new brakelines or at least new flares and fittings for the front, and get the steering installed and adjusted/tweaked. Hooray. :cheer: Pics below, cheers. [/QUOTE]
