thanks!!

Happy new to you as well! The seats are out of a 2004 Escalade and the console is out of a 2014-2018 GMC/Chevy Truck or SUV.
On the differential, I just had it sandblasted and I coated it with the same paint as the rest of my chassis (Chassis Saver satin black). I had to cut off the old shock mounts and brake line bracket from my old diff and I welded on new spring seats, replaced the axle bearings and seals, and did the disc brake conversion, new fluid and cover gasket.
