Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab

Thanks Tony!

I think I am going to get my axles all painted and put them back under the frame to check angles of things to make sure everything will work. I dont want to buy u-bolts just yet because if I have to buy a shim i dont want them to be to short.

JLT, I took that crossmember down and put it inside the frame rail and for some reason it seems like it is going to be to tall. I will not fully know till I am able to drop the engine back in the frame. I plan on putting the axles/engine/tranny/t-case all in to make sure things are looking good and to kind of see what kind of ride height i am getting.

Last night i was able to get the front axle almost done. I just need to install the lockout hubs and put some fluid in it and the front axle will be done. I need to clean all the dirt from the d70 and replace the brakes and cylinders then it will be time to paint the rear and get it all mocked up to test it all fitting together.
