We started cleaning up the rear axle. Also the casted parts had some severe rust damages. It was even leaking oil as there were some rusted holes in the differential housing! As there is no chance we could find an identical axle here in Sweden we tried fixing some holes by welding it. However, we also discovered that some previous owner had built his own c-clip eliminator solution that wouldn't be that easy to repair. So, we decided to go for a slightly more modern axle from a '79 Blazer. However, also that axle would need some repair since the pinion had come a bit too close to the differential...
