So I'm finishing up my rearend overhaul. All new Axles, Posi, 3.08 gears, bearings, yoke. Now I'm putting all new shoes, drums, wheel cylinders, and hardware. Then get it buttoned up and back on the ground.

Thanks man... I had West Coast Differential build the rearend and they use their own Sierra gear & axle brand. Posi is a Auburn...

Got my the rearend all back together and took it out for a Sunday cruise...It is way better with the gear change and easy on the freeway now...

I took some more pictures. Photography is another one of my passions mostly of trucks & cars...

That's one of the prettiest things I've ever seen, and I usually don't go for the dropped look. The bamboo bed is awesome.

Thanks man ^

So I took out the seat and carpet and installed a layer of Fat Mat and I am installing a iPod/iPhone only stereo. I'm using a iPod direct plug RCA's with charging so I can listen to mp3's or pandora without my phone going dead. I'm using a PAC LC-1 line level for volume control hooked up to a small 200w amp going to some pioneer ts-x200 enclosed reflex speakers under the seat. It should sound ok for some basic driving tunes. I'll put up more pics when done.

Re: Simple Green
 
Let us know how the PAC LC-1 line level works out. I was planning on doing something similar with my setup but using this http://http://www.jlaudio.com/cl441d...egration-98110 so I can switch between my phone and small xm unit hidden behind the ashtray door on the dash.

But if I can go the route youre going and maybe tie in a manual component switch under the dash and the sound quality is good it will save me a bunch of money.

I was wondering what happened to the pics, I was looking back at your original thread for reference on the tear down of the rear end. Just wanted to give you props on your build and say thanks for the inspiration. Your truck set the benchmark in my book and is one of the reasons I am building mine now. I just finished the "KILL RIVETS" phase waiting on my complete kit from Porterbuilt. Again can't say enough about this forum and the great members. I will be starting my build thread soon as I get my parts hope you'll tag along for advice..

Thanks again!!:metal::metal:

Re: Simple Green
 
Sure thing guys, i will post up a video and some pics of it hooked up.

Welcome Kris, I dig this forum also. It is a great resource and inspiring place and thank you for the props on my build. I look forward to seeing your build thread man....

Jesse
